Marginal congestion costs in the case of multi-class traffic: A macroscopic assessment for the Paris Region

Transport Policy, 2017, vol. 60, issue C, 87-98

Abstract: Although road congestion caused by freight activities is often pointed-out by researchers and public deciders as a major issue, few studies model time losses at a macroscopic-regional level within a “multi-class traffic” framework. This research proposes such empirical assessment for the Paris region, using a simple method based on individuals' trip durations. We combine information on passengers and commercial transport (to describe road demand) with a GIS describing the stock of infrastructures (road supply) on that territory.
