WHAT IS WRONG WITH TRANSPORT PRICES IN LONDON? IN: REFORMING TRANSPORT PRICING IN THE EUROPEAN UNION: A MODELING APPROACH

Abstract

As with many large cities around the world, London is facing a major problem from traffic congestion. This chapter considers the application of the urban model to the London region. The model is an aggregate type that looks at total traffic levels within the area and does not aim to model traffic on individual links, but does consider passenger travel. Although this is the major source of traffic within the London region this is a limitation, but some development of models allowing for freight transport have been modified for interregional traffic.
