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 …

Downtown parking and traffic congestion : a diagrammatic exposition
Arnott, Richard; Inci, Eren; Rowse, John G. - 2012
Through an extended numerical example, this paper develops a diagrammatic analysis of steady-state parking and traffic congestion in an isotropic downtown and provides systematic policy analysis. Unlike our previous work, the model incorporates curbside parking, garage parking, and...

Pricing, Capacity Choice and Financing in Transportation Networks
Verhoef, Erik T.; Rouwendal, Jan - 2003
This paper explores the interrelations between pricing, capacity choice and financingin transportation networks. It builds on the famous Mohring-Harwitz result on self-financing ofoptimally designed roads under optimal congestion pricing, and specifically investigates itsins and outs in a...

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...

Second-best Road Pricing Through Highway Franchising
Verhoef, Erik T. - 2005
This paper considers the welfare impacts of a range of franchising regimes for congestible highways. For a single road in isolation, it is shown that a competitive auction with the level of road use as the decision criterion produces the socially optimal road (in terms of capacity and toll...

Self-Financing Roads
Verhoef, Erik T.; Mohring, Herbert - 2007
Mohring and Harwitz (1962) showed that, under certain conditions, an optimally designed and priced road would generate user toll revenues just sufficient to cover its capital costs. Several scholars subsequently explored the robustness of that finding. This paper briefly summarizes further...

Private Roads
Verhoef, Erik T. - 2007
This paper studies the efficiency impacts of private toll roads in initially untolled networks. The analysis allows for capacity and toll choice by private operators, and endogenizes entry and therewith the degree of competition, distinguishing and allowing for both parallel and serial...

A Monopolistic Market for Advanced Traveller Information Systems and Road Use Efficiency
Zhang, Rong; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2004
This study presents a model for exploring the interactions between a transport market and a monopolistic market for advanced traveller information systems (ATIS). We examine the properties of the information market, and in particular, the relationship between monopoly information pricing and...

Pricing, Capacity and Long-run Cost Functions for First-best and Second-best Network Problems
Verhoef, Erik T.; Koh, Andrew; Shepherd, Simon - 2008
This paper considers the use of ‘long-run cost functions’ for congested networks in solving second-best network problems, in which capacity and tolls are instruments. We derive analytical results both for general cost and demand functions and for specific functional forms, namely Bureau of...
