Road user charging: Theory and practice (2005)
Journal Article
Saleh, W. (2005). Road user charging: Theory and practice. Transport Policy, 12(5), 373-376. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2005.06.001

In 1999 the DETR became concerned that there was a general shortage of research projects looking at innovatory approaches to road user charging and so it launched a programme aimed specifically at generating novel postgraduate research. Theoretical a... Read More about Road user charging: Theory and practice.

Stochastic social optimum traffic assignment (2005)
Journal Article
Maher, M., Stewart, K., & Rosa, A. (2005). Stochastic social optimum traffic assignment. Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 39(8), 753-767. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trb.2004.10.001

This paper formulates a Stochastic Social Optimum (SSO) that relates to the Stochastic User Equilibrium (SUE) in the same way as the Social Optimum (SO) relates to the User Equilibrium (UE) in a deterministic environment. At the SSO solution, the tot... Read More about Stochastic social optimum traffic assignment.

Road-user charging and the modelling of revenue allocation. (2005)
Journal Article

Road user charging has long been advocated as a means of dealing with congestion in urban areas. Numerous schemes have been proposed but have advanced little beyond the drawing board. This paper draws on the experiences of two such road user charging... Read More about Implementing Road User Charging: The Lessons Learnt from Hong Kong, Cambridge and Central London.
