Road pricing is the terminology for a system that will set a price for the
usage of transport capacity (a piece of road, at a specific place and time)
and that will collect the payments.
This report handles the working of such a system.
The main idea is that a system like road pricing will establish a better
equilibrium be-tween the demand and the supply of transport capacity at
specific places and times and thus prevents the occurrence of
congestion.
Chapter 1 will discuss the philosophical idea of Road pricing in analogy
with the Tragedy of the Commons (G. Hardin, Science 162:1243-1248
(1968)) and will propose a set of different measures which can be taken to
reach a better equilibrium between demand and supply. Paragraphs 1.4.1 to 1.4.6 enumerates a list of different
systems around the world.
Chapter 2 deals with the different aspects of Road pricing like the material
part which will consist of beacons, portals, on-board units and the
immaterial part such as what kind of information is needed.
Chapter 3 gives a list of different available techniques like GSM, GPS, DSRC
and ANPR and elaborates on the working and the possibilities and
impossibilities of each one of them. In paragraph 3.2 the different methods
are compared and a cost estimation is given for the whole system when a
particular technique is chosen. Paragraph 3.3 consists of a quick scan of
systems currently in use which are measuring the actual throughput on the
roads.
Chapter 4 handles the different results that are to be expected in
the year 2020 when the system is introduced and when a specific form is
adopted. It also deals with different goals that can be set for the system.
Different goals give rise to different tariffs and thus to different results
in the equilibrium between demand and supply of the transport capac-ity.
Chapter 5 has some conclusions which in short are:
