Book Description
This report analyzes the main variables affecting a toll highway project, and develops mathematical models that describe their behavior. These models can serve as a tool in the decision-making process during the planning and operation of the facility. This study focuses on the development of a toll traffic estimation model based on the attributes of the highway and the elasticity of the demand. The goal is to estimate the amount of traffic that could be diverted to the toll facility in an existing corridor with a free access road as an alternate route. Some possible methods to estimate the toll price are discussed as well as an analysis to determine the optimum toll. The Mexican experience is used as a case study to develop empirical models.
