State-of-the-Art Assessment of Toll Rates for High-Occupancy and Toll Lanes

摘要: Pricing of the current high-occupancy and toll (HOT) lanes mostly relies on lookup tables or equations that relate a with given traffic condition measured by flow, density, and/or speed. Lack theoretical support to construct relationship has made pricing one most critical challenges HOT implementation. Distinct from existing practices, scheme is proposed reflect value travel time savings reliability. The tolls determined monetary addition both types are expressed as curve respect speed general purpose (GP) lanes. found be an exponential form, vary $0.78 $8.80 per use for ten-mile corridor under unit $13/hr. Total reliability accounts 40.3% 45.8% lowest percentage at GP-lane 45 mph.
