Road pricing (tolls, etc.) as a means of generating revenue for
infrastructure investment has become a major policy option in both
Europe and North America. It can also be used as a policy in the
management of traffic demand and flow, environmental objectives, and
optimal resource allocation as regards the size of investments. Road
pricing is assumed to be able to solve many problems simultaneously --
congestion control, pollution reduction, and investment financing.
This volume assembles and assesses theoretical knowledge, empirical
results and experiences of actual road pricing. In addition, the impact
of new information technology on future policy formulation is
considered.
