Abstract

A robust congestion pricing (ROPRICE) of signal-controlled road network is considered for equilibrium network flow with uncertain travel demand. A min–max bi-level program is presented to mitigate vulnerability of area traffic control road network against growing travel demand and reduce traffic congestion. A cutting plane projection approach (CPP) is proposed to effectively solve the ROPRICE problem with global convergence. Numerical computations are performed using various test road networks and comparisons are made with recently proposed heuristics. Computational results indicate that the proposed solution scheme can substantially achieve greater system performance as compared to other alternatives.
