Managing ship lock congestion in an inland waterway: A bottleneck model with a service time window

Y Deng, D Sheng, B Liu - Transport Policy, 2021 - Elsevier
This paper proposes a bottleneck model for managing the ship lock congestion in an inland
waterway caused by the uneven temporal distribution of ship traffic demand. Due to safety …

Step tolling in an activity-based bottleneck model

ZC Li, WHK Lam, SC Wong - Transportation Research Part B …, 2017 - Elsevier
This paper investigates the step tolling problem in an activity-based bottleneck model in

Capacity allocation and tolling-rewarding schemes for the morning commute with carpooling

B Wei, X Zhang, W Liu, M Saberi, ST Waller - Transportation Research Part …, 2022 - Elsevier
This study investigates the road capacity allocation scheme and step tolling-rewarding

Coarse tolling with heterogeneous preferences

VAC van den Berg - Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper analyses optimal coarse tolling of congestion under heterogeneous preferences,
and in particular its welfare and distributional effects. With coarse tolling, the toll equals a …

Minimizing CO2e emissions by setting a road toll

L Wen, R Eglese - Transportation Research Part D: Transport and …, 2016 - Elsevier
The main purpose of this paper is to develop a bi-level pricing model to minimize the CO 2 e
emissions and the total travel time in a small road network. In the lower level of the model, it …

Bottleneck management using pricing under constraints

G Rostomyan, K Savla… - 2023 American Control …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Studies of the traffic congestion have been limited to designing optimal time-varying tolls to
eliminate queuing. Moreover, limited studies have considered time-varying rewards that …

Bottleneck congestion: Differentiating the coarse charge

J Knockaert, ET Verhoef, J Rouwendal - Transportation Research Part B …, 2016 - Elsevier
