Toll road performance and elasticity analysis
Analysis of Input Variables for a Pre-feasibility Evaluation Model for Tol Highways
Author: Juan J. Orozco
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Roads
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
This report analyzes the main variables affecting a toll highway project, and develops mathematical models that describe their behavior. These models can serve as a tool in the decision-making process during the planning and operation of the facility. This study focuses on the development of a toll traffic estimation model based on the attributes of the highway and the elasticity of the demand. The goal is to estimate the amount of traffic that could be diverted to the toll facility in an existing corridor with a free access road as an alternate route. Some possible methods to estimate the toll price are discussed as well as an analysis to determine the optimum toll. The Mexican experience is used as a case study to develop empirical models.

Toll Elasticities on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road

Book Description
The first toll road in Indonesia was opened to traffic in 1978. There have been few studies undertaken on toll elasticities of travel demand on the toll roads in Indonesia. This report presents the results of the toll elasticity study on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road, one of the busiest toll roads in Indonesia which has several experiences with toll changes. Elasticities were measured over different periods, for different levels of travel distance with the arc elasticity and shrinkage ratio method. The mean values of the overall toll-elasticities using the arc elasticity method for passenger cars (class 1) range from -0.28 “0.24 (1 month analysis) to -0.43 “0.24 (4 months analysis) and for commercial vehicles (class 2) range from -0.25 “0.20 to -0.40 “0.19. By using the shrinkage ratio, the results are range from -0.22 “0.18 to -0.32 “0.19 for class 1 and from -0.22 “0.18 to -0.26 “0.14 for class 2. Another important finding is that the medium-distance toll elasticities are significantly more inelastic than other short-distance (under 20 km.) and long-distance (over 40 km.) toll elasticities. For the covering abstract of this conference see IRRD number 872978.

Road Pricing: Theory, Empirical Assessment and Policy
Author: Börje Johansson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 940110980X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Road pricing (tolls, etc.) as a means of generating revenue for infrastructure investment has become a major policy option in both Europe and North America. It can also be used as a policy in the management of traffic demand and flow, environmental objectives, and optimal resource allocation as regards the size of investments. Road pricing is assumed to be able to solve many problems simultaneously -- congestion control, pollution reduction, and investment financing. This volume assembles and assesses theoretical knowledge, empirical results and experiences of actual road pricing. In addition, the impact of new information technology on future policy formulation is considered.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Author: Wade H. Shafer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461303931
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 39 (thesis year 1994) a total of 13,953 thesis titles from 21 Canadian and 159 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 39 reports theses submitted in 1994, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Toll Road Traffic and Revenue Forecasts
Author: Robert Bain
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0956152716
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Toll roads, bridges and tunnels represent the most popular class of infrastructure attracting international private finance today. Many deals, however, expose financiers, insurers and other project counterparties to demand risk. This moves traffic and revenue forecasts centre-stage in terms of being able to understand and test the investment proposition - yet the forecasting process itself often remains a mystery. Additionally, there are frequent concerns about predictive reliability. Written specifically for credit analysts, investors and other professionals whose primary expertise lies outside transportation, this book lifts the lid on the 'black box' of traffic and revenue forecasting. The author, Robert Bain (ex-S&P and a civil engineer with 20+ years of forecasting experience) has prepared a straightforward guide which highlights key issues to watch for and suggests ways in which the forecasts can be analysed to improve transparency and investor understanding.
