Title: Departure time choice equilibrium problem with partial implementation of bottleneck permits
Abstract: Congestion pricing with bottleneck permits (BP) is one of the first-best pricing schemes and has been shown to be able to minimize social cost. Under the scheme, road administrators issue permits which allow permit holders to pass a bottleneck at specified times and create a market where drivers can freely trade the permits. However, the scheme is not always Pareto improving such that it may harm some drivers.
The objective of this study is to design Pareto-improving BP scheme when drivers have heterogeneity in their value of time and schedule flexibility. We derived equilibrium conditions and the solutions under the situations with and without BP. By comparing drivers’ cost between before and after implementation of BP, we revealed the condition for achieving a Pareto improvement.
