Heterogeneous Users and the Peak Load Pricing Model
指出传统高峰负荷定价模型不适用于异质性用户群体共享的联合设施，提出基于容量多维度（物理与时间）的定价方法，要求用户支付独立于消费时间的特定容量费，而拥堵费则用于降低当前拥堵成本而非覆盖容量成本。
The principal finding of this paper is that the conventional pricing solution for the peak load pricing problem must be modified to be applicable to a joint facility that is utilized by heterogeneous groups of users. The paper indicates how extending the conventional model through a multidimensional approach to capacity, accounting for its physical dimensions as well as its time dimension, will require specific capacity charges to users independent of the time of consumption. Any additional congestion charges levied will not perform the conventional role of covering replacement capacity costs, but will be used to reduce current congestion costs.
