Technologies That Complement Congestion Pricing: A Primer
The purpose of this volume is to consider the technology options that are available to complement congestion-pricing approaches. This primer explores how technology broadens the success for congestion pricing by supporting the traveler’s decision to change travel time, travel mode, and travel route. Complementary technologies (a) extend the benefits of congestion-pricing strategies to those directly and indirectly affected, (b) improve public acceptance of congestion-pricing strategies, and (c) improve the value of existing travel options available to individuals. This primer considers: how technology complements congestion pricing; what technologies there are to consider; how the technologies are applied; and examples of how technologies were applied to retrofit congestion pricing on an existing facility. Among the technologies considered are dynamic message signs, Web-based traveler information, in-vehicle traveler information, ramp metering, adaptive signal control, and automated vehicle location for transit.
