A Simulation of Price Discriminating Tolls

摘要: a high waiting cost) thus causing faster build-up of the queues for other service points. This potentially makes wait future arrivals even longer. Indeed, as long people are low price point while is not occupied, potential economic gain exists from reformulating queuing discipline. Uniform pricing would bring about such reformulation, all poin . to be used more or less equally. However, this give up advantage self- ^orting mentioned above. Which these two effects dominates basically an empirical question depending intimately on timing arrivals, variation in costs across individuals, number points, and so on. paper presents computer simulation, using example San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge backdrop, determine whether system discriminatory tolls improve overall efficiency operation bridge.
