We estimate a discrete-continuous model of vehicle demand and use for the Belgian region of Flanders, combining the results of the official regional travel survey with a detailed database of vehicle characteristics. The overall predictive value of the submodel predicting the number of vehicles...

The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) has commissioned AECOM to undertake a study to investigate the broad costs and benefits of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) on their respective energy markets. The study also identifies the arrangements necessary within these...

Since the seminal work of Henderson (1981), a number of studies examined the effect of staggered work hours by analyzing models of work start time choice that consider the trade-off between negative congestion externalities and positive production externalities. However, these studies described...

Most highways in urban China are tolled to finance their construction. During the eight-day National Day holiday in 2012, highway tolls are waived nationwide for passenger vehicles. We use this to test highway tolls’ effect on air pollution. Using daily pollution and weather data for 98...

This paper offers a general overview of the road pricing concept. It first examines the common objectives used in road pricing, namely (a) congestion reduction; (b) raising profits; (c) social welfare maximization; etc. Then, it explores various types of road pricing, including two major ones:...

LEZs (Low Emission Zones),is a defined area in many cities where access by certain polluting vehicles is restricted or deterred with the aim of improving the air quality. In many LEZs local governments introduces road pricing schemes in order to reduce social and environmental negative...

The volume of pollution produced by an automobile is determined by driver's behavior along three margins: (i) vehicle selection, (ii) kilometers driven, and (iii) on-road fuel economy. The first two margins have been studied extensively, however the third has received scant attention. How...
