Behavioural Responses of Freight Transporters and Shippers to Road-User Charging Schemes: An Empirical Assessment
This chapter discusses the effects of road pricing on freight transportation and shippers. More specifically the authors compare the potential effects of increases in fuel prices (the current main source of charging) and distance-based charges in freight transport. The chapter also examines which of these pricing policies is preferred most by transporters, and why this is so.
