This paper discusses the congestion pricing as a practical traffic management on urban transport networks. The traffic congestion is defined as an external diseconomy on the network in transport economics. It has been proposed that the congestion pricing would be applicable to reduce the traffic on the network. The congestion pricing can be counted as the social cost difference between User Equilibrium (UE) and System Optimization (SO) with variable demand. The fact implies the congestion toll to the links on the overall network. However, the link based charging may not be realized practically because of technical problem. The zonal congestion pricing is considered similarly to the cordon toll charge system. The optimal combination of zonal tolls would be determined to maximize the social benefit. The linear traffic demand function is assumed to the network of Gifu city. The genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to search the solution of the problem as an efficient approximation technique. As the set of zonal congestion tolls is obtained, the evaluation of the congestion pricing can be done in terms of social benefit as well as reduction of traffic congestion.
