HYPERCONGESTION AND ROAD PRICING IN A CONTINUOUS TIME - CONTINUOUS PLACE MODEL OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION
基于跟车理论构建了一个连续时间-连续空间的动态经济模型,整合了静态流量拥堵和动态瓶颈拥堵两种技术,发现超拥堵是上游路段动态均衡现象,并证明基于庇古税推广的时空可变拥堵费优于维克里瓶颈模型收费方案。
A continuous-time/continuous-place dynamic economic model of traffic congestion was developed, based on car-following theory. The following two archetype congestion technologies used in the economics literature were integrated by the model: static flow congestion and dynamic bottleneck congestion. With endogenous departure times and a bottleneck along the route, 'hypercongestion' arises as a dynamic equilibrium phenomenon on the upstream road segment. Congestion tolls based on an intuitive dynamic and space-varying generalization of the standard Pigouvian tax rule can not be improved upon. An application of a toll schedule based on Vickrey's bottleneck model performs much worse and reduces welfare in the numerical model.
