• Abstract:
  The problem addressed in this research is to determine usage prices for a system with ; multiple modes of transportation with the objective of reducing congestion. With multiple ; modes, these prices can take on several forms. On road networks, the usage prices refer to the ; tolls collected from motorists for access to certain streets and highways. On a transit system, the ; usage prices are the fares the riders have to pay to travel on, for example, buses and subways. ; The basic concept in this proposal is to employ the market force to allocate limited road and ; transit capacities among travelers by their need to travel and their willingness to pay. The idea ; involves charging congested routes higher prices. When willing to pay higher prices, travelers ; can travel with reduced congestion during peak periods, using the modes, and along the routes of ; their choosing.
