From page 153... ... 153 This research has provided an extensive analysis and synthesis of travel forecasting, best practices, as well as operational research approaches to the modeling highway pricing projects. The conclusions and recommendations are summarized below in four major groups: • Existing practices and identified gaps, • Recommended short-term improvements, • Major long-term improvements and strategic directions, and • Suggestions for future research.

From page 154... ... 154 • There is no consensus whether road pricing costs should be shared among vehicle occupants, and if so how. Most models either assume that the full toll cost is either borne by all occupants or that it is equally shared among the occupants. Read the entire page →
From page 155... ... 155 effect represents a simple proxy for measures of travelers' aversion to congestion (other than average travel times alone) , including a lack of reliability associated with congested facilities. Read the entire page →
From page 156... ... 156 pricing schemes are frequently the focus of pricing studies, it is essential to have a large set of period-specific simulations, ideally, hourly assignments (or a full-day DTA as a better option as discussed below) in order to address different pricing schedules. Read the entire page →
From page 157... ... 157 to make a go/no-go decision, as well as to narrow the scope of possible alternatives. As the pricing project progresses to the phases of Environmental Impact and Investment Grade Studies, however, more substantial modeling work must be done. Read the entire page →
