Abstract

Peak-load pricing has long been seen as a way to internalize externalities and as a set of incentives to shift some peak-hour trips to off-peak periods. The policy has also been viewed as a mechanism to generate revenue. However, it is an open question how travelers trade off time for money and respond to peak and off-peak pricing differentials. This generates some timely and related questions, including: (1) How can we model the activity location and traffic implications for multiple time-of-day periods in a major metropolitan area?; and (2) What are the network level-of-service and urban development effects of implementing peak-load pricing on selected routes?.
