| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The research achieved three main results: Firstly, through collaboration with European Metropolitan Transport Authorities we conducted a survey among large cities showing trends in public transport fare structure changes that are triggered by electronic ticketing and smart phone based ticketing. A conflict between aiming for "optimal, complex pricing" and aiming for simplicity arises. We further showed the difficulty in determining "fair fares". Secondly, an approach to transit assignment that is capable of considering a range of fare structures, in particular non-additive fares, has been established. The approach advances existing path search methods by being the first that is able to model such fares within frequency-based assignment. Thirdly, using continuous approximation, the research illustrates how fares can improve the service quality but that from a social welfare perspective there is usually not much benefit in raising fares.
