Research Abstract

Toll level and charging boundary of road pricing policy must be determined carefully to obtain higher performance. However, most of existing studies considered only the optimal setting of toll level. This paper formulates the bi-level optimization model incorporating trip-chain-based user equilibrium model that can design not only optimal toll level but also the charging boundary of road pricing policy and develop its algorithm. We applied proposed model to real-world networks in Utsunomiya and Kumamoto, Japan and explored optimal toll level and boundary of area-based and cordon-based pricing. In addition, we developed weekly space-time-pass based network equilibrium model for analyzing a novel pricing policy which is named peak-load deposit system.
