摘要:

 

Congestion pricing is widely recognized as an efficient instrument for alleviating road congestion. Most of existing road pricing scheme are developed based on traffic equilibrium model. The equilibrium can be looked as a traffic state desired by traffic management authorities. However, when the traffic system has multiple equilibria if the initial traffic state falls beyond the attraction domain, it may not converge to the desired equilibrium under the pricing based on the traffic equilibrium through a day-to-day adjustment process (Bie and Lo, 2010). In this study, we aim to develop a more practical second-best dynamic road pricing scheme implemented on a subset of links, which can drive the traffic evolution towards the desired second-best traffic user equilibrium state from any initial traffic state. This second-best dynamic pricing scheme has the following characteristics: (i) the dynamic pricing is discrete-time scheme, as opposed to most of existing continuous dynamic pricing scheme; (ii) the derivation of the dynamic pricing is applicable to very general day-to-day traffic dynamic model; (iii) the dynamic pricing can direct the traffic system to converge to the desired equilibrium from any initial traffic state even multiple equilibria exist. This study also presents rigorous proofs and numerical tests to verify above these characteristics of our dynamic pricing scheme.
