Road pricing concepts for motorways and urban transport (SVI2001/523)
Overview
Background & policy context:
Road Pricing is an instrument of the market economy which can influence traffic demand as well as contribute to generating transport revenues. The research project for making an analysis of the possible implementation scenarios for Switzerland was needed.
Objectives:
The project prepares the ground for further in-depth studies on national and regional level. It is focussed on road user charges; the other instruments of mobility pricing (e.g. parking fees and public transport fares) are outside the scope of the project.
Methodology:
In the framework of the project at first the experiences from foreign countries are examined and the individual model parameters are discussed systematically. Then the possible application schemes in Switzerland are sketched and broadly evaluated using four illustrative case studies.
