Abstract

With the increasing interest in the application of an urban road congestion pricing, a simulation of running a charging scheme in New York City could be useful for future transportation development. The scenario is charging on the inbound to the New York Center Business District (CBD). It is used to estimate the changes in traffic volume and traffic speed. By using the New York Best Practice Model (NYBPM) to set up the charging standards, a level of traffic congestion will be estimated, and it will be distributed in a certain pattern. The charging scheme is based on the concept of tolling “equity.”
