• Parking Fare Planning Approach for Special Events Based on Bilevel Programming
  Abstract: During special events, intensive short-term travel leads to serious shortage of parking. Remote parking lots have been planned and preferential policies are implemented to encourage the Parking/Riding (PR) travel for special events. However, how to plan a suitable parking fare strategy and balance trip flow between parking lots is a challenge. In this paper, special events parking fare optimization model is proposed based on the bi-level programming model framework. Parking/Riding and Parking/Walking mode travel mode for private mobile is analyzed. Logit-based utility model, which considering driving time, parking fare, bus fare, travel expenses and other major factors, describes the behavior of travelers¡¯ parking choose; it is an equilibrium traffic assignment problem and considered as the lower model of bi-level programming. The upper level model which established by considering system total travel time, parking fares and parking capacity constraints, describes traffic managers¡¯ consideration. The solutions of the bi-level programming model are based on Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) and Convex Combinations Method (CCM) algorithms. Numerical experimental results indicate that an optimal parking fare plan is able to control parking demands and re-distribute parking flow between different parking lots to release congestion.

• Dynamic Feedback-Control Toll Pricing Methodology for Revenue Maximization: Case Study on I-95 Managed Lanes
  Abstract: Recently, congestion pricing emerged as a cost-effective and efficient strategy to mitigate the congestion problem on freeways. This study develops a dynamic toll strategy based on feedback control rules and compares its performance to that of the current strategy deployed on Interstate 95 express lanes. The proposed strategy aims to maximize the toll revenue while maintaining a minimum desired level of service on the managed lanes. The performance was examined for low and high traffic demand. A detailed numerical example is provided to explain how the proposed strategy works, and an external module is developed to execute the strategy in real time during VISSIM runtime. The impact of the value of time and level of income is also examined. Three values ranging from 60% to 120% of the mean hourly income are used. The results show that for high demand, an increase in the probability of choosing managed lanes is obvious, with the highest increase observed for the case of 120%. Also, during high demand, high income groups exhibit higher probabilities of choosing the managed lanes as a result of the increase in travel time savings and despite the increase in toll rate. When compared to the currently adopted toll pricing strategy on I-95, the proposed strategy shows a steadier toll rate profile, while keeping the speed at 45 mph or more and producing larger toll revenue.

• Evaluation Framework for High-Occupancy-Toll Lanes
  Abstract: A high-occupancy/toll (HOT) lane is an increasingly popular form of traffic management which reserves a set of freeway lanes for HOVs and transit users, while allowing low-occupancy vehicles (LOV) to enter for a fee. In turn HOT lanes must maintain a minimal level of service which is accomplished by regulating the volume of entering LOVs. Modeling the choice process which dictates the volume of LOVs that choose to pay and take the HOT lane is integral in the toll setting process, and the focus of this paper. Two simple formulations (an all-or-nothing assignment and an additive logit model) are compared with a formulation based on the population VOT distribution which is shown to be superior through numerical analysis. Both static and dynamic toll setting algorithms are developed based on the proposed lane choice model, and their performance is compared (under deterministic traffic behavior) in regards to the performance of an HOT facility.

• Global Optimization Method for Robust Pricing of Transportation Networks Under Uncertain Demand
  Abstract: We extend the existing toll pricing studies with fixed demand to stochastic demand. A new and practical second-best pricing problem with uncertain demand is proposed and formulated as a stochastic mathematical program with equilibrium constraints. In view of the problem structure, we develop a tailored global optimization algorithm. This algorithm incorporates a sample average approximation scheme, a relaxation-strengthening method, and a linearization approach. The proposed global optimization algorithm is applied to three networks: a two-link network, a seven-eleven network and the Sioux-Falls. The results demonstrate that using a single fixed estimation of future demand may overestimate the future system performance, which is consistent with previous studies. Moreover, the optimal toll obtained by using the mean demand value may not be optimal considering demand uncertainty. The proposed global optimization algorithm explicitly captures demand uncertainty and yields solutions that outperform those without considering demand uncertainty.

• Influence of Psychological Factors on Acceptability of Congestion Charging in China
  Abstract: This paper investigated the psychological factors influencing the acceptability of an assumed congestion charge scenario in Nanjing. To analyze factors important for the acceptability, we proposed a two-stage hierarchical model. A questionnaire study was conducted among 897 car users. Results showed that perceived effectiveness and fair were the determinants of congestion charge acceptability, which confirmed previous findings and supported transferability of results. In contrast to previous studies, personal norm was not significantly related to the acceptability, but willing to reduce car use had a positive association with acceptability. The lesson for policy makers was that when implementing congestion pricing, it was important to propagandize the effectiveness of the measure in solving perceived urgent problems and to guarantee people feel to be treated just in comparison to others.

• Optimal Dynamic Pricing for Parking Management with Occupancy Information
  Abstract: Downtown parking is a challenging issue for both travelers and transportation planners. The objective of this paper is to maximize the benefits of parking management by optimal pricing and sensing. A generic parking model is presented for a set of sequential parking lots. Provided with the real-time parking occupancy information pricing information, travelers make parking location choices to minimize their generalized travel cost. We consider a general parking searching time function with respect to the occupancy. When the time-varying travel demand is fixed, we show that the system optimum (SO) pricing solution is not unique. The non-uniqueness indeed offers much flexibility to set different dynamic pricing schemes for a variety of parking management goals. Two special parking management strategies are discussed here, flow proportionality and least-square minimum congestion. The model can be implemented in practice by utilizing parking sensors to set optimal on-line parking prices. It is found that the parking pricing and the provision of occupancy information jointly serve as effective ways of managing traffic.

• Agent-Based Approach to Pricing Strategy Evaluation: Incorporation of Drivers’ Heterogeneity, Departure Time Shift, and Comprehensive Learning Model
  Abstract: The ability to reasonably model driver behavior in response to various pricing mechanisms is a critical need for transportation planners in order to properly evaluate and design the pricing schemes in a transportation network. By partially focusing on modeling the driver response to the effect of pricing, this paper presents an agent-based traffic assignment framework designed to assist transportation planners to evaluate pricing strategies and support their decision-making process by incorporating driver’s heterogeneity, a route choice and departure time shift model, and a Kalman Filter learning model. The framework is first evaluated on a simple 2-link corridor and on a real world network to demonstrate its functionality in a mesoscopic modeling environment. It is found that the proposed agent-based framework is compatible with conventional (dynamic) traffic assignment models and therefore is ready for implementation in any simulation tool which enables agent-based traffic assignment. A learning model is required in this agent-based framework. Independent learning for each individual agent is highly recommended. This study also assesses the effects of drivers’ value of time (VOT) heterogeneity on pricing strategy evaluation in terms of traffic mobility, revenue collection and equity between driver groups. The incorporation of drivers’ VOT heterogeneity will provide planners with more accurate performance measures and produce several new criteria to facilitate their evaluation and decision-making of the impact of pricing strategies.

• Effects of Freeway Distance-Based Toll Scheme on Short-Range Driver's Route Choice Behavior
  Abstract: The distance-based toll scheme will soon be adopted by Taiwan's freeway system to replace the current toll station-based model. This new policy will increase the travel costs to some of short-range drivers, and they may therefore choose to switch to alternate routes depending on their perceived equity and acceptability of the new toll scheme. This study attempts to utilize structural equations and the discrete choice model to analyze the perceived attitudes of highway users toward distance-based toll scheme, as well as the effects of the perceived attitudes on route choice behaviors. The results show that perceived equity as well as perceived effectiveness and efficiency have positive effects on the acceptability of toll schemes and the utility to highway users, while switching barriers have negative effects on the utility to highway users. In addition, we have established a binary Logit model that incorporates perceived latent variables, and the results of which show that the switching behavior model that has included perceived latent variables contributes to a more reasonable explanation to the actual decision-making behaviors of drivers and enhances the explanatory capability of the model. Finally, the analysis of the route choice model reveals that when the trip length of short-range drivers increases to 30 km or above, all the perceived latent variables don¡¦t appear to have any impact on their decision of route-choice. Although drivers who decide to remain on the freeway will be required to pay the toll, they will also be compensated with improved driving speeds on the freeway.

• Short-Run Impact of Gas Price Fluctuations on Toll Road Use
  Abstract: The price of gas has fluctuated dramatically since 2008 and travelers’ response to this has been generally as expected. Relatively little change in behavior to begin, but as prices continued to rise we have seen a shift to vehicles with higher fuel efficiencies and a shift to alternative modes (transit and bike/pedestrian). One thing that has not been examined is potential route shifts, to or from toll facilities. Many toll facilities offer an uncongested and more direct route to a traveler’s destination. In theory, as gas prices increase the use of toll facilities would also increase. However, some toll facilities experienced the opposite effect. The cost of gas increased to a point where some travelers refuse to pay any more for their trip, including paying a toll, despite the fact the toll route may offer significant gas savings. This research examined the impact of changing gas prices on travelers’ choice of routes, focusing on toll route usage. Travel demand elasticity estimates for toll routes with respect to gas price were inelastic and mostly negative. Additionally, the average elasticity (-0.09) was smaller than those found in the literature for non-toll facilities (average approximately -0.25). This would indicate that either (a) toll facility users were less impacted by changes in gas price, or more likely, (b) some travelers were switching to toll facilities. Thus, toll facilities were more insulated from downturns in traffic volumes resulting from increases in gas price.

• Empirical Study on Lane-Changing Behaviors Along Different Types of High-Occupancy-Vehicle Lanes in California
  Abstract: Lane changing is one important aspect of vehicle maneuvers that have significant impacts on freeway operation. Most of the previous research on lane changing has focused on microscopic modeling of lane change movements. Very few studies have investigated lane changing behavior along high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities, especially in the context of comparing between different access types. This paper describes the work that extracted lane change data from videos with high resolution in both time and space, and investigated lane changing behavior on freeways with different types of HOV access configurations. Furthermore, the extracted lane change movements were correlated with lane-by-lane flow and occupancy data from the California’s Freeway Performance Measurement System (PeMS). Based on the analysis results, the limited access HOV facilities are found to have: 1) higher numbers of lane changes, 2) larger clearance distance between the subject vehicle and the lead vehicle, and 3) shorter time gap when the subject vehicle moves out of HOV lane than the continuous access HOV facilities. These results provide insights on lane changing maneuvers along HOV facilities, which can be used to support traffic operation analyses, calibrate driver behavior logics in traffic simulation models, as well as inform the design of lane configurations and access control measures for managed lanes.

• Fine-Tuning Pricing Algorithms for High-Occupancy-Toll Lanes
  Abstract: Pricing algorithms play a significant role in managing high-occupancy/toll (HOT) facilities. Many studies have been conducted to determine pricing strategies for HOT facilities, but many of them consider idealized and hypothetical situations to derive solutions, while others require too many resources to be applied in practice. On the other hand, the methods implemented in the field are heuristic in nature, and involve many parameters to be configured by the tolling agencies. Using the tolling algorithm currently implemented on the 95 Express in South Florida as an example, this paper presents an optimization procedure to fine-tune the configuration of tolling algorithms for HOT lanes.

• Simulating Realistic Shock-Wave Propagation on High-Occupancy-Toll Lanes
  Abstract: High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes are new in the US. The fact that most are still conversions of existing HOV lanes combined with little experience in managing them through dynamic pricing strategies, has hindered their potential. In addition an active debate on the best access design for safety and mobility has produced diametrically opposite examples of HOT lanes in operation. The work described in this paper is part of an active project attempting to formalize a methodology for evaluating shared HOT lane facilities. The proposed methodology uses shockwave activity as surrogate for safety (shockwave length) and mobility (shockwave frequency). This paper focuses on the development and validation of a flexible process for emulating shockwave propagation under realistic HOT lane flows. Headway measurements collected in the field were combined with a dynamic space separation threshold for generating accurate platoon formations at variable densities. Shockwave length distributions were derived from a Monte Carlo sampling methodology taking advantage of a newly proposed kinematic wave propagation model based on one-dimensional kinematic equations. Simulated shockwave length distributions were derived and compared to actual observed shockwave activity with satisfactory results.

• Simulating High-Occupancy-Toll Lane Operations
  Abstract: Microscopic simulation is critical for evaluating the operation strategies of managed lanes. However, most existing tools are limited in their ability to simulate dynamic tolling strategies of managed lanes, particularly with multiple segments. Three sets of modeling components are developed in this paper, to demonstrate simulation of HOT lane operations. The first component implements three pricing strategies; including responsive pricing, a closed-loop-control-based algorithm, and time-of-day pricing. The second component mimics drivers’ lane choice behaviors in the presence of tolls, and the third represents different toll structures for multi-segment HOT lane facilities. An enhanced version of CORSIM, which contains these new modeling components, is validated by simulation experiments involving the 95 Express network in South Florida.

• Optimizing Parking Prices Using Agent-Based Approach
  Abstract: Many cities around the globe are haunted by limited supply of parking and inefficient fee schedules, which often result in additional traffic by people cruising for parking. Pricing parking in an optimal way both from the municipality’s and user’s perspective in order to balance demand and supply is essential to solve this problem. We propose an agent-based approach to iteratively find such an optimal parking price. A major innovation of our parking model is, that it takes taste heterogeneity of drivers into account. By applying the model to a test scenario in the city of Zurich, we successfully demonstrate, that the model provides key figures, which are essential for supporting decision of policy makers. The paper also discusses some future work, e.g. other applications of the model in the area of parking choice and parking search modeling.

• Novel Street Parking Fee Collection to Eliminate Unfair Citations
  Abstract: This study surveyed parking citation problems from the perspective of the city that uses them as a source of revenue as well as the users that would like to avoid them. Drivers of all types have received meter parking citations indiscriminately and sometimes unfairly. The parking citation data obtained from the city of Baltimore indicated more than one million tickets for a total amount of revenue of $46 million in 2010. Parking meter violation ranked first among all types of citations causing disputes and frustrating among citizens. An innovative solution to street parking fee collection is proposed. The solution would streamline the collection process for the city, while drivers would more operatively disburse for the length of stay at the street parking spot. Dynamic parking rates corresponding the demand and length of stay, and substitution of the incremental pricing for time limit enforcement promote this study. The authors believed that the proposed method is among the most effecient plans to mitigate parking congestion externalities.

• Chicago’s Congestion Parking Tax: Early Evaluation
  Abstract: In recent years, congestion pricing has come to the forefront as a method of traffic mitigation. Chicago implemented a congestion parking tax increase, effective January 2012, on commercial lots and garages above a certain threshold. This study aims to provide a model framework for early impact analyses of congestion charging and parking schemes. A cluster-based system of metrics, focusing on publicly available transportation, economic and public health data for the study area of downtown Chicago, is employed.The “control variables” of employment figures and gas prices show relatively small change, indicating reasonably stable macroeconomic conditions in the region. It is found that municipal parking tax revenues have increased over 20 percent versus a year ago, although consumers are bearing only a small proportion of the tax increase. Arterial speeds downtown have improved, but some expressways passing through downtown have seen decreases in speed, possibly due to higher levels of unaffected through traffic on these roads. The public health variables of pedestrian crash incidents and emission levels have fallen.Chicago’s congestion parking scheme therefore appears to have caused no net negative results and indeed some positive results. These indicate a need for further research to better understand the relationship between the program and component metrics.

• Feasibility Study for Converting High-Occupancy-Vehicle Lanes to Managed Lanes in Dallas, Texas
  Abstract: Excess capacity in HOV lanes during peak periods can be made available to other types of vehicles, including single occupancy vehicles (SOV) for a price (toll). Such dual use lanes are typically referred to as Managed Lanes or HOT Lanes. This study utilizes a methodology for equilibrating the demand across the managed and general-purpose lanes to examine the feasibility of such conversions under various toll price strategies. The AM and PM peak period demands are used as the basis for the study. The pricing strategies include charging SOV vehicles at $0.10/mile, $0.25/mile, or $0.50/mile while having no charge for HOVs. For each of the three SOV pricing strategies, quantitative estimates of toll revenues and emissions on managed and general purpose lanes are obtained. Comparisons are made to the current practice of not allowing SOVs in HOV lanes and all HOVs to using the lanes free of charge.

• I-35W South Mnpass High-Occupancy-Toll Lanes
  Abstract: The I-35W South MnPASS high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area were a major component of the Minnesota Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT). The use of the I-35W South HOT lanes is examined in this paper. Information on the number of MnPASS accounts, daily and monthly trips, monthly revenues, average tolls, and maximum tolls is presented. Changes in trip-time savings and trip-time reliability are also discussed. The results from a 2012 survey of I-35W MnPASS customers are summarized. This paper highlights key elements of the national evaluation of the Minnesota UPA related to the I-35W South HOT lanes. The national evaluation is sponsored by the U.S. DOT and conducted by a research team headed by Battelle Memorial Institute. As discussed in this paper, the I-35W South HOT lanes have attracted new MnPASS customers, while maintaining the travel-time savings and trip-time reliability for buses and carpools.
