The objective of this research proposes to develop theory and algorithms for the second-best toll pricing problem, with an emphasis on the congestion/value pricing schemes of current interest in the design of transportation systems. The theoretical investigation will provide the foundation for the development of methods that will be tested and compared to assess their potential for use in practice.While done without the benefits of rigorous models for determining prices, early results from pilot programs in California, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, and Texas show that tolling does have impact on traffic volume and, to a lesser degree, on transit ridership as well. The research addressed in this proposal will provide a rigorous framework for toll pricing models, and include current and proposed pricing concepts such as HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes, FAIR (Fast and Intertwined Regular) Lanes, and cordon systems. The methods developed will: provide mechanisms to aid transportation planners in determining and comparing toll pricing schemes that induce travelers to use urban transportation system more efficiently, assist planners in determining the efficiency of the existing and proposed pricing schemes, provide the means to predict impacts of pricing on urban traffic flows and on transit system usage, and provide information essential to the financial and political success of congestion/ value pricing programs.

本研究的目的是提出发展理论和算法的次优收费定价问题，重点是拥挤/价值定价计划的当前利益的交通系统的设计。 理论研究将为开发方法提供基础，这些方法将被测试和比较，以评估它们在实践中的应用潜力。虽然没有严格的定价模型的好处，但在加州、佛罗里达、马里兰州、明尼苏达州和得克萨斯州的试点项目的早期结果表明，收费确实对交通量有影响，在较小的程度上，对过境客流量也有影响。 本提案中的研究将为通行费定价模型提供严格的框架，并包括当前和拟议的定价概念，如HOT（高占用收费）车道、FAIR（快速和间歇常规）车道和警戒线系统。 制定的方法将：提供机制以帮助交通规划者确定和比较引导旅行者更有效地使用城市交通系统的通行费定价方案，帮助规划者确定现有和提议的定价方案的效率，提供预测定价对城市交通流和对交通系统使用的影响的手段，并且提供对于拥挤/价值定价方案的财政和政治成功至关重要的信息。
