The model follows the indirect utility approach and adopts a linear form for the demand function. This effort differs this paper from an early effort of the authors, and allows policy makers to estimate the market share of different modes and the choice of different vehicles among drivers. Therefore, it allows the consideration of differentiated rationing and pricing strategies towards different user groups. By combining individual vehicle ownership and usage models with a network supply model, market equilibria can be derived. Welfare impact of different policies can be assessed through investigation of compensating variation under different policies. This paper provides a powerful tool to support the welfare analysis of various rationing and pricing strategies for congestion mitigation in mega-cities.
