The theory of road pricing developed for single links suggests time and location varying changes equal to the marginal congestion cost at the efficient level of traffic.The second-best network counterpart is derived, but would be infeasible to implement. Cordon tolls are feasible, and their...

This paper presents a dynamic model of road traffic congestion based on simple carfollowing theory, allowing for finite group velocity and discrete vehicles. The model offers a full-fledged dynamic version of the standard static model of road traffic congestion based on the so-called...

This paper studies some of the properties and fundamentals of static models of road traffic congestion that have triggered much debate in the literature. The first part of the paper focuses in particular on the difficulties arising with the backward-bending cost curve in the context of...
