Abstract:
Danish cities are facing increasing traffic volumes resulting in congestion
and
environmental problems. Vehicle and fuel taxes are already high and
it is not
considered politically feasible to raise them further. Consequently,
there has been
certain political interest in a general road pricing solution as a
demand management
tool.
A research programme has been launched focusing on analysing the economic,
technical and behavioural impacts of a countrywide distance-based road
pricing
system. The concept of such a system has been defined based on a set
of user
requirements of which fairness and privacy are high ranked issues.
The user acceptance and behavioural response to the system is being
investigated in
interviews and questionnaires and the overall effect on traffic will
be estimated
through model calculations. Ideally, the results of the programme will
form the basis
for future political decisions with regard to road user charging.
