Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims at discussing the effect of dynamic fare schemes by using both mathematical model and traffic simulation based on traffic demand estimation model by the fare change on Hanshin Expressway. As a result, by changing the fare dynamically in accordance with the traffic condition on the expressway network may drastically improve the traffic condition both on expressway and surface road, and total travel time can be reduced. It means that the traffic condition can become socially better by the implementation of dynamic fare scheme. As for further study, factors other than congestion such as accident risk and environmental impact should be considered to evaluate the traffic condition.
