Improved Framework and Tools for Highway Pricing Decisions

This research project will develop a decision-making framework that includes descriptions and evaluation of methods and analytical tools for establishing pricing policies and practices and for predicting their impacts on travel behavior and congestion. This will identify gaps and develop improved methods and analytical tools to fill those gaps. The project will also provide improvements for travel-demand forecasting methods employed to support pricing decisions for new capacity and congestion management. The results should be packaged in two volumes: the first containing the decision-making framework and the second focusing on improvements to travel-demand forecasting methods and analytical tools.
