This study  breaks new ground in the economic theory of optimal road capacity by  including theoretical contributions, empirical studies, and simulation  experiments that all pertain to the general topic reflected in the  title. The book is organized into four sections: 1) highway traffic  flow; 2) commuter choice of tollways versus freeways; 3) congestion  pricing in the short run; and 4) road capacity and pricing in the long  run. \u003cbr\u003e  In particular, the first section on highway traffic flow examines the  chief models and empirical studies of vehicular flow on urban  highways. The second section of the book is a theoretical and  empirical examination of the choice that commuters make between urban  tollways and freeways. The third section is devoted to congestion  pricing in the short run, the time period in which the urban highway  facilities are taken as given. This section is the most important part  of the book from the standpoint of public policy. The fourth and last  section of the book considers road capacity and pricing in the long  run, with the concluding chapter gathering the authors' main results  in one place and making recommendations both for current policy and  for future research.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 October 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792386315\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50450048647308,"sku":"9780792386315","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792386315.jpg?v=1780592880","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792386315","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
