Human-driven vehicles' cruising versus autonomous vehicles' backand-forth congestion : the effects on traveling, parking and congestion
Yu, Xiaojuan; Berg, Vincent A. C. van den - 2024
This paper explores how the interaction between human-driven vehicles (HVs) cruising for parking and autonomous …, the introduction of AVs may increase or lower congestion depending on whether cruising or traveling back and forth …. Specifically, when both HVs' cruising congestion and AVs' back-and-forth congestion are heavy, the efficiency of pricing is lower …

Product Differentiation on Roads: Second-Best Congestion Pricing with Heterogeneity under Public and Private Ownership
Verhoef, Erik T.; Small, Kenneth A. - 1999
We explore the properties of various types of public and private pricing on acongested road network with heterogeneous users and allowing for elasticdemand. Heterogeneity is represented by a continuum of values of time. Thenetwork consists of both serial and parallel links, which allows us to...

Speed Choice, Car Following Theory and Congestion Tolling
Rouwendal, Jan - 2002
This paper provides a link between car following theory and the economic theoryof road congestion by means of a theory of speed choice. According to this theory speedchoice is based on a trade-off between the benefits (shorter travel time) and cost (higheraccident risk) of driving faster....

Inside the Queue
Verhoef, Erik T. - 2002
This paper develops a continuous-time -continuous-place economic model of road trafficcongestion with a bottleneck, based on car-following theory. The model integrates twoarchetype congestion technologies used in the economics literature: 'static flow congestion',originating in the works of...

Speed-Flow Relations and Cost Functions for Congested Traffic: Theory and Empirical Analysis
Verhoef, Erik T. - 2003
A dynamic 'car-following' extension of the conventional economic model of traffic congestion is presented, which predicts the average cost function for trips in stationary states to be significantly different from the conventional average cost function derived from the speed-flow function. When...

Manipulable Congestion Tolls
Brueckner, Jan K.; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2009
The recent literature on congestion pricing with large agents contains a remarkable inconsistency: though agents are large enough to recognize self-imposed congestion and exert market power over prices, they do not take into account the impact of their own actions on the magnitude of congestion...

Congesting Pricing in a Road and Rail Network with Heterogeneous Values of Time and Schedule Delay
van den Berg, Vincent; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2011
We analyse congestion pricing in a road and rail network with heterogeneous users. On the road there is bottleneck congestion. In the train there is crowding congestion. We separately analyse proportional heterogeneity that varies the values of time and schedule delay scalarly in fixed...

Congestion Pricing, Slot Sales and Slot Trading in Aviation
Verhoef, Erik T. - 2008
This paper studies the regulation of an airline duopoly on a congested airport. Regulation should then address two market failures: uninternalized congestion, and overpricing due to market power. We find that first-best charges are differentiated over airlines if asymmetric, and completely drive...

Why Congestion Tolling could be good for the Consumer: The Effects of Heterogeneity in the Values of Schedule Delay and Time on the Effects of Tolling
van den Berg, Vincent; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2010
In studying congestion tolling, it is important to account for heterogeneity in preferences of drivers, as ignoring it can bias the welfare gains. We analyse the effects of tolling, in the bottleneck model, with continuous heterogeneity in the value of time and schedule delay. The welfare gain...

Bottleneck Congestion: Differentiating the Coarse Charge
Knockaert, Jasper; Verhoef, Erik T.; Rouwendal, Jan - 2010
The traditional bottleneck model for road congestion promotes the implementation of a triangular, fully time varying, charge as the optimal solution for the road congestion externality. However, cognitive and technological barriers put a practical limit to the degree of differentiation real...
