Modelling the impact of alternative pricing policies on an urban multimodal traffic corridor
Abstract This paper investigates the effects of alternative or joint schemes of road pricing and parking pricing to verify if private behaviour in operating parking facilities, road tolling and transit systems can lead to profitable results in the private sector and for public welfare. The evaluation is carried out using an idealised urban multimodal traffic corridor with some numerical examples that show the effects of different pricing policies. A Deterministic User Equilibrium assignment procedure is used to calculate certain performance indicators such as user travel costs, social costs and private profit. The results show that the system is highly sensitive to pricing policy and that a proper joint pricing of park-and-ride facilities, city centre parking and road tolls can be developed to simultaneously attain good private and social benefits.
Highlights ► We investigate the effects of joint road and parking pricing policies on an urban multimodal traffic corridor. ► We calculate user travel costs and private profit for different transport scenarios. ► A proper road and parking policy can be profitable and welfare-enhancing at the same time.
