- On User Strategies In A Network Implementing congestion Pricing
- In the context of a network implementing congestion pricing, we focus on user strategies to determine their willingness to pay parameter. We argue that users downloading a file in fixed time or users running a multimedia application will have other strategies to decide on their payment than simply to maximize...

- Micro-Foundations of congestion and Pricing: A Game Theory Perspective
- This paper develops congestion theory and congestion pricing theory from its micro-foundations, the interaction of two or more vehicles. Using game theory, with a two-player game it is shown that the emergence of congestion depends on the players' relative valuations of early arrival, late arrival, and journey delay. Congestion pricing...

- Going the Extra Mile: Ten Tips for Implementing Road User Charging to Ease congestion
- There is an emerging consensus that the only practical way to control congestion is to better match supply and demand. That is, ensure that the finite amount of road space is allocated appropriately to its customers. An increasingly popular way to do this is through road user charging. This report...

- Dock congestion : How Do You Spell RELIEF?
- Article states that good planning, scheduling, and communication helps to keep freight flowing smoothly and efficiently through the docks. It talks about a situation where congestion happens in docks. Shippers large and small find themselves with backed-up orders waiting to be shipped out, trucks sitting in the yards, and stacks...

- The Value of Advanced Traveler Information Systems for Route Choice
- This paper analyzes systems that provide the driver the fastest path between his or her current location and final destination, updated in real-time to consider recurring and nonrecurring congestion. The traveler's full cost per trip is a bundle comprised of both expected travel time and its reliability. This paper explores...

- Nordic Electricity congestion's Arrangement as a Model for Europe: Physical Constraints or Operators Opportunism?
- Congestion on power grids seems a physical reality, a "hard" fact easy to check. This paper models a different idea: congestion signal may be distorted by transmission system operators (TSOs), which puts the European integrated electricity market at risk: When the TSOs share the revenue produced by congestion's pricing they...

- Road Pricing: What's the Deal?
- Traffic congestion comes in all shapes and sizes, usually in towns and cities. Congestion is inefficient, polluting, and dangerous. Removing just 5% of traffic at peak times could substantially reduce or even eliminate rush hour congestion from many cities. This article shows that road congestion and pollution are a fact...

- Assessment of Transmission congestion for Major Electricity Markets in the US
- This paper details the estimated congestion rent collected by the Independent System Operators (ISO) since their inception in different electricity markets. The electricity markets analyzed are: New York Power Pool, California Power Exchange, and Pennsylvania-Jersey- Maryland (PJM) power pool. The paper describes the significant assumptions underlying the calculations and attempts...

- congestion Management for Large Electric Power Systems
- This paper reports the results of applying a novel congestion management method recently developed at MIT to a large electric power system. The method allows for market-based solutions with minimal reinforcement provided by system operator for reliability. The majority of reinforcement is in the form of information exchange on zonal...

- Delayer Pays Principle: Examining congestion Pricing With Compensation
- Despite its virtues, congestion pricing has yet to be widely adopted. This paper explores the issues of equity and use of toll revenue and several possible alternatives. The equity and efficiency problems of conventional (uncompensated) congestion pricing are outlined. Then, several alternatives are discussed and developed. A new compensation mechanism...

- Transmission Rights and Market Power on Electric Power Networks
- This paper analyzes whether and how the allocation of transmission rights associated with the use of electric power networks affects the behavior of electricity generators and electricity consumers with market power. It consider two alternative types of transmission rights: financial rights which give the owner a share of the congestion...

- Going Modal
- Seaports are arguably the most critical links in global supply chains because they serve as the primary interface between waterborne cargo traffic and land-linked rail, road, and air distribution networks. The question this article addresses is how is a logistics airport alleviating congestion at Los Angeles ports? Facing the unenviable...

- Human Mobility and Transport Policy
- Human populations have the ability to disperse widely and rapidly congestion and intrusion - as well as oil consumption. In responding to these challenges, transport policies seem to lack credibility. Not everything in the transport sector is changing, however. There is excellent data to show that average travel time per...

- Jacked Tunnels: Open-Heart Surgery on Boston
- Boston's Central Artery project moved major roads underground without disrupting nearby railways. To ease some of the worst urban traffic congestion in the USA, the C/AT project involves putting much of the city's main highway network underground. As a landmark in infrastructure redevelopment, it is scheduled for full completion in...
