A toll pricing framework for networks with advanced traveler information systems

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a toll pricing framework for a stochastic multimode tra±c assignment problem. This model assumes that there are two types of users on the network: those who have information about the network conditions via advanced traveler information systems and others. In order to have a better utilization of transportation system, the tra±c authority uses pricing (tolls obtained using the toll pricing framework) to divert the tra±c to less congested routes either by allowing all or a subset of links on the network to be tolled.
