A road pricing model is presented that determines tolls for congested highways. The main contribution of this paper is to include density explicitly in the pricing scheme and not just flow and time. The methodology solves a nonlinear constrained optimization problem whose objective function maximizes toll revenue or highway use (2 scenarios). The results show that the optimal tolls depend on highway design and the level of congestion. The model parameters are estimated from a Chile's highway data. Significant differences were found between the highway's observed tolls and the optimal toll levels for the two scenarios. The proposed approach could be applied to either planned highway concessions with recovery of capital costs or the extension or retendering of existing concessions.

“…Most international countries such as the Britain (Owens, 1995), Norway (Ieromonachou & Warren, 2006), the United States of America (Kahn & Roberds, 2009), Taiwan (Chiou, Jou, Kao & Fu, 2013), Zimbabwe (Gideon & Alouis, 2013), Portugal (Amorim, Lobo, Rodrigues & Couto, 2014) and recently South Africa have adopted the electronic tolling (e-toll) system in addition to and some as a replacement of the manual toll collection system. For the first time, the manual tolling system emerged during the 4 th century in the first world countries with terms such as "toll way", "toll gates" and "road tolls" which were used interchangeably (Kahn & Roberds, 2009;Gideon & Alouis, 2013;Jou & Haung, 2014;Yusuf, O'Connell & Anuar, 2014).…”

“…Apparently, the low costs and convenience in the collection of fees led to the implementation of the e-tolls in many countries (Owens, 1995;Ieromonachou & Warren, 2006;Kahn & Roberds, 2009;Jou et al, 2013;Noordegraaf et al, 2014;Jou & Haung, 2014;Yusuf et al, 2014). In South Africa, a distance-based e-toll system driven by South African National Road Agency Limited (SANRAL) on behalf of the government was officially activated on December 3, 2013 on the Gauteng Province freeways.…”

“…Oslo"s toll ring has been in place for much longer time, and may not be fully comparable. It is however estimated by Ieromonacho et al (2006) to have cost only 208 MSEK to establish (using 1.23 SEK to the NOK), and 148 MSEK per year to run (see also Fjellinjen, 2004, andEliasson, 2009). It is difficult to compare with the costs of the London system, since costs for operations and implementation were combined in a different way than in Stockholm.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractIn January 2006, a system for congestion charging was introduced in the city of Stockholm, Sweden. The charging scheme was run in the form of a full scale trial for seven months, after which it was deactivated, awaiting its evaluation and an advisory public referendum. Several parties, including representatives of the scientific community as well as media and special interest groups, have analysed and evaluated the system. A recurring theme in several of these analyses is that the cost to build and operate the system was excessive, compared to costs for other road charging installations.This study revisits some of the key project participants and archive data, to provide a deeper understanding of what were the major cost drivers and whether it can be lower in future installations. The approach taken is to emphasise understanding of the particular circumstances rather than comparing aggregates with other seemingly similar systems. A main conclusion is that the political context, with a tight time plan and very high political risks for all involved, were key factors for the eventual costs of establishing the system.
