An Analytical Framework for Optimal Urban Transport Management Policies Based on a Binary Mode Choice/Assignment Model

This paper describes the package approach, which consists of a combination of measures to restrain automobile use while promoting public transport use, is regarded as one of the best forms of urban transport management policy. The package approach is formulated as an optimal pricing problem constrained by a binary mode choice/assignment model integrated with a public transport firm model, which predicts firm responses under a number of urban transport market conditions. The validity of the overall model is examined through numerical analyses.
