Title: ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE PROVISION OF ROADWAY SERVICES
Accession Number: 00637851
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Although road pricing is an old and, theoretically, effective approach to traffic congestion relief, it has problems of public acceptability. The basic concept and recent developments in road pricing were reviewed, and a theoretical framework was developed for the broader issue of public-private partnerships for the provision of roadway services. Within this framework the basic concept of road pricing may be implemented in an innovative bundling of private intelligent vehicle-highway systems services with economic incentives for traffic diversion. Future research is suggested for building basic economic models of excludable public goods that would include congestibility. An operational field test is suggested to try out the idea of bundling private services to trucks: public authorities would offer economic incentives to divert trucks from congested routes.
