Book Chapter
Stewart, K. (2009). Modelling Impacts of Tolling Systems with Multiple User Classes. In W. Saleh (Ed.), Travel Demand Management and Road User Pricing (73-88). Ashgate Publishing

This paper extends the formulation for SSO to include MUCs (where the different groups of drivers are assigned different generalised cost functions), such that total perceived network travel costs for all classes are minimised and presents an objecti...

This chapter examines the changes or improvements in the transport sector in Great Britain from 1998 to 2008, and compares them with those of other European countries. It evaluates how far policy objectives have been achieved and describes recent dev... Read More about Mind the gap! The UK's record in European perspective.

Improving reliability through multi-path routing and link defence: an application of game theory to transport. (2008)
Book Chapter

Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/0-387-29645-X_9

The classical road tolling problem is to toll network links such that, under the principles of Wardropian User Equilibrium (UE) assignment, a System Optimising (SO) flow pattern is obtained. Such toll sets are however non-unique, and further optimisa... Read More about Minimal revenue network tolling: system optimisation under stochastic assignment with elastic demand..
