Private toll roads : a dynamic equilibrium analysis

Palma, André de; Lindsey, Robin - 1997

In recent years there has been a surge of interest in private toll roads as an alternative to public free-access road infrastructure. Private toll roads have gained favour for a variety of reasons, including theirpotential to alleviate traffic congestion, shrinking public funds for road...

Time, speeds, flows and densities in static models of road traffic congestion and congestion pricing

Verhoef, Erik T. - 1997

This paper studies some of the properties and fundamentals of static models of road traffic congestion that have triggered much debate in the literature. The first part of the paper focuses in particular on the difficulties arising with the backward-bending cost curve in the context of...
