EXISTENCE OF TOLL EQUILIBRIUM IN TRAFFIC NETWORK WITH DRIVERS HAVING DIFFERENT TIME VALUES

• In this paper, the purpose of traffic management is formulated as a set of constraints imposed on traffic flows along some links in the road network. The discussed problem is: what charges should be inflicted to the drivers on the links so that the traffic volumes on these links satisfy certain upper bounds. While well investigated in the situation when all drivers have the same time value, the problem with drivers having different time values, although more realistic, has not received much attention. The paper presents a proof that a solution to this problem exists under a natural condition that the whole travel demand can be served by the road network within the imposed constraints.
