3 Introduction Congestion Pricing Roadway pricing is a congestion mitigation strategy that involves charging travelers for using selected links in a network. 3/16
4 Introduction Congestion Pricing Roadway pricing is a congestion mitigation strategy that involves charging travelers for using selected links in a network. Tolls may be collected within a city or on freeways and can be static or time-dependent. 3/16
5 Introduction Congestion Pricing New York State Thruway Singapore ERP System London Cordon Pricing 4/16
6 Introduction Congestion Pricing How to measure the impact of tolls? How to set the right amount of tolls? Are there any equity issues that arise due to congestion pricing? 5/16
7 Traffic Equilibrium User equilibrium When individual travelers independently choose routes to minimize their travel times, it leads to a state of user equilibrium (UE) in which no traveler can find a shorter route to switch to. 6/16
8 Traffic Equilibrium User equilibrium When individual travelers independently choose routes to minimize their travel times, it leads to a state of user equilibrium (UE) in which no traveler can find a shorter route to switch to. 10 O D x 6/16
9 Traffic Equilibrium User equilibrium When individual travelers independently choose routes to minimize their travel times, it leads to a state of user equilibrium (UE) in which no traveler can find a shorter route to switch to. 10 O D x Total travel time of all users = 10(10) = 100 6/16
10 Traffic Equilibrium System optimum Uncoordinated routing can be detrimental and using tolls, one can achieve a system optimum state that reduces the sum total of travel times. 7/16
11 Traffic Equilibrium System optimum Uncoordinated routing can be detrimental and using tolls, one can achieve a system optimum state that reduces the sum total of travel times. In the presence of tolls, users are assumed to minimize generalized cost defined as αt + c, where α is the value of time (VOT) of a trip and t and c are the travel times and cost respectively. Suppose the VOT of each traveler is 1 /min. 7/16
12 Traffic Equilibrium System optimum Uncoordinated routing can be detrimental and using tolls, one can achieve a system optimum state that reduces the sum total of travel times. In the presence of tolls, users are assumed to minimize generalized cost defined as αt + c, where α is the value of time (VOT) of a trip and t and c are the travel times and cost respectively. Suppose the VOT of each traveler is 1 /min O D O D x /16
13 Traffic Equilibrium System optimum Uncoordinated routing can be detrimental and using tolls, one can achieve a system optimum state that reduces the sum total of travel times. In the presence of tolls, users are assumed to minimize generalized cost defined as αt + c, where α is the value of time (VOT) of a trip and t and c are the travel times and cost respectively. Suppose the VOT of each traveler is 1 /min O D O D x Total travel time of all users = 5(10) + 5(5) = 75 7/16
14 Bicriterion Traffic Equilibrium User equilibrium Now suppose there are 10 additional travelers with VOT 2 / min. Both groups must be on minimum generalized cost paths according to the equilibrium principle. 10 O D x 8/16
15 Bicriterion Traffic Equilibrium User equilibrium The equilibrium solution looks as shown below O D There are 10 travelers on each link and hence the travel time is 10 min. 9/16
16 Bicriterion Traffic Equilibrium System Optimum We now introduce marginal tolls which equal ᾱxt (x), where ᾱ represents average VOT of users on a link and x and t (x) represent the volume of travelers and the derivative of the link delay function. 10/16
17 Bicriterion Traffic Equilibrium System Optimum We now introduce marginal tolls which equal ᾱxt (x), where ᾱ represents average VOT of users on a link and x and t (x) represent the volume of travelers and the derivative of the link delay function. O D 10/16
18 Bicriterion Traffic Equilibrium System Optimum We now introduce marginal tolls which equal ᾱxt (x), where ᾱ represents average VOT of users on a link and x and t (x) represent the volume of travelers and the derivative of the link delay function. O D The SO solution shifts 5 travelers with VOT 2 /min to the top path. Note that the travel times on the top and bottom paths are 10 and 5 min and the their tolls are 0 and /16
19 Equity Issues Introduction In both examples, travelers paid what they got, i.e., those who paid more experience lesser travel times. The tolls however were not designed to promise better travel times but optimized efficiency. 11/16
20 Equity Issues Introduction In both examples, travelers paid what they got, i.e., those who paid more experience lesser travel times. The tolls however were not designed to promise better travel times but optimized efficiency. Where s the inequity issue? There may not be paths which are toll free forcing everyone to pay. In the second example, travelers with VOT 1 /min are priced out. 11/16
21 Equity Issues Introduction In both examples, travelers paid what they got, i.e., those who paid more experience lesser travel times. The tolls however were not designed to promise better travel times but optimized efficiency. Where s the inequity issue? There may not be paths which are toll free forcing everyone to pay. In the second example, travelers with VOT 1 /min are priced out. These issues can be easily addressed by second pricing and minimum revenue models. 11/16
22 Equity Issues Evidence and Hypothesis The general hypothesis is that tolls are regressive, i.e., it favors the rich over the poor. 12/16
23 Equity Issues Evidence and Hypothesis The general hypothesis is that tolls are regressive, i.e., it favors the rich over the poor. Income based inequity: High-income groups pay more tolls but the low-income groups spend a larger fraction of their income on tolls. (Eliasson, 2016) 12/16
24 Equity Issues Evidence and Hypothesis The general hypothesis is that tolls are regressive, i.e., it favors the rich over the poor. Income based inequity: High-income groups pay more tolls but the low-income groups spend a larger fraction of their income on tolls. (Eliasson, 2016) Spatial inequity: Bloomberg s congestion pricing proposal in NYC predicted that Manhattan residents would make more trips and pay less compared to the other boroughs. 12/16
25 Equity Issues Evidence and Hypothesis The general hypothesis is that tolls are regressive, i.e., it favors the rich over the poor. Income based inequity: High-income groups pay more tolls but the low-income groups spend a larger fraction of their income on tolls. (Eliasson, 2016) Spatial inequity: Bloomberg s congestion pricing proposal in NYC predicted that Manhattan residents would make more trips and pay less compared to the other boroughs. Can we model this mathematically to test the hypothesis? How can we minimize inequity if it exists? 12/16
26 Potential Mitigation Strategies Revenue redistribution Tolls are typically considered to be transfer payments, i.e., they are given back to the society in some form such as infrastructure improvement. 13/16
27 Potential Mitigation Strategies Revenue redistribution Tolls are typically considered to be transfer payments, i.e., they are given back to the society in some form such as infrastructure improvement. Hence, they do not feature in the objective functions of most tolling frameworks. 13/16
28 Potential Mitigation Strategies Revenue redistribution Tolls are typically considered to be transfer payments, i.e., they are given back to the society in some form such as infrastructure improvement. Hence, they do not feature in the objective functions of most tolling frameworks. However, the way we redistribute revenues is critical to an equitable congestion pricing framework. 13/16
29 Potential Mitigation Strategies Revenue redistribution Some common options to redistribute revenues: Lump sum rebates Capacity improvements Increased public transportation funding 14/16
30 Potential Mitigation Strategies Revenue redistribution Some common options to redistribute revenues: Lump sum rebates Capacity improvements Increased public transportation funding Each of these strategies must be explicitly modeled to understand who benefits from such projects and how much toll revenue is generated by them using a before vs after equilibrium analysis. 14/16
31 Potential Mitigation Strategies Other recent solutions Targeted incentives Credit based congestion pricing schemes 15/16
