Road pricing schemes are principally based on cordon-based pricing. Earlier studies have demonstrated that the performance of cordon schemes is critically dependent on cordon location. However, surveys of those designing such schemes indicate that they are opting for the simplest designs, in the...

Integrated transport strategies can involve a wide range of measures, each varying in the intensity with which it is applied. Objective functions can be specified to reflect public policy objectives, and their value will change as changes are made in the measures included and their intensity,...

Four road pricing systems, with charges based on cordons crossed, distance travelled, time spent travelling and time spent in congestion, have been tested using the congested assignment network model SATURN and its elastic assignment demand response routine, SATEASY. All tests have been based on...

This article, focusing upon the UK, examines the relevance to strategic planning of methods to estimate the impacts of transport policy on land use processes. The study applied three differing techniques for forecasting these impacts to a common study area, and assessed planners' views on each....

The literature on acceptability of road pricing schemes is reviewed, and a number of limitations of that research are identified. In particular, little evidence is found of the differences between users and non-users and the effects of scheme design and level of charge. A stated preference...

Integrated transport strategies use a combination of infrastructure, management and pricing measures to achieve better performance against transport policy objectives. This principle is incorporated in the UK DoT's Package Approach, but little guidance is available on strategy design. An...

Singapore's Land Transport Authority, formed in 1995, set itself a mission of producing a world class transport system. This paper assesses the extent to which this goal is being achieved. It outlines the structure within which transport decisions are taken and indicates the freedom this gives...
