ESTIMATING CONGESTION TOLL BY USING TRAFFIC COUNT DATA -- SINGAPORE'S AREA LICENSING SCHEME

The objective of this paper is to develop a single method for estimating the congestion toll by directly using the commonly available traffic count data. In a sensitivity analysis, the author uses three different scenarios on the choice of the value of travel time savings and four different measures of average wage rates (the national average wage rate, the average wage rate for car owners with or without taking into consideration employment benefits, and the average wage rate per car derived from the average occupancy per car). The sensitivity analyses led to a general conclusion that by 1990, the $3 fee was not too high.
