This paper considers a congested bottleneck. A fast lane reserves a more than proportional share of capacity to a … the bottleneck and inelastic demand. It can replicate the arrival schedule and queueing outcomes of a toll that optimally …

This paper presents a model of urban traffic congestion that allows for hypercongestion. Hypercongestion has … fundamental importance for the costs of congestion and the effect of policies such as road pricing, transit provision and traffic …

We seek to better understand the scheduling of activities in time through a dynamic model of commuting with congestion … endogenously due to concave preferences and temporal agglomeration economies. Equilibrium exists uniquely and is indistinguishable … from that of a generalized version of the classical Vickrey bottleneck model, based on exogenous trip-timing preferences …

with random capacity and demand, such as an airport or an urban road. Congestion is described in the form of a dynamic … queue using the Vickrey bottleneck model and assuming Nash equilibrium in arrival times. The paper shows that the expected …

The rationale for congestion charges is that by internalising the marginal external congestion cost, they restore … efficiency in the transport market. In the canonical model underlying this view, congestion is a static phenomenon, users are … taken to be homogenous, there is no travel time risk, and a highly stylised model of congestion is used. The simple analysis …

described as queuing behind a bottleneck whose capacity declines when the queue is large. We combine such a variable …-capacity bottleneck with Vickrey scheduling preferences for the special case, where there are only two possible levels of capacity …

I analyse congestion costs in the Vickrey bottleneck model of a congestible facility with a peak load in demand. The … by Arnott, de Palma and Lindsey, I derive the expected marginal and total congestion costs and compare to the case with …
