Rapid growth in private vehicle ownership has led to congestion and inadequate service on freeways. The authorities should promote the road pricing strategy in a systematic view that accurately reflects the cost of using the freeway during peak hours is required. The pricing strategy must achieve the"alternative effect" which includes departure time replacement, path substitute and modes alternative. This study formulate the time-dependent bi-level model for road pricing on freeways which integrates time dimension, route choice and mode choice factors. The upper level objective of the model is to minimize the total network costs. The objective of the lower level is to apply the time-dependent user-optimal mode choice/departure time/route choice model with side-constraints to analyze the behavior of the travelers under optimal toll rates. The users will be affecting by efficiency road pricing and changing the behavior. The results can be used as reference in establishing public policies that facilitate effective toll rates. |
