Highway Travel: Congestion
Let V=volume (number of vehicles passing agiven point per hour)
D=density (number of vehicles per unitdistance)
S=speed. Then these three variables mustsatisfy the relation:
V = DS But they are inter-related! Draw this as:

Time spent on each trip:
The time spent on each trip is inverselyproportional to speed, or 1/S.
We will focus on the congestion portion ofthe speed vs. flow graph, so that 1/S isincreasingin the flow V
Suppose there is a (fixed) consumer cost oftime, and then evaluate the average costs oftime per trip, c(V)

Social costs of automobile travel
Type of cost Cost ($ per vehicle-mile in
1989 US prices)
Costs borne mainly by Highway users in aggregate:
(1) Running costs 0.068
(2) Vehicle capital 0.188(3) Time 0.120(4) Schedule delay 0.066
Costs borne partially by non-users:
(5) Accidents 0.179
(6) Parking (CBD fringe) 0.136Total:
Without parking 0.621With parking 0.757

Results: toll is zero at less than capacity, and increasing inV at more than capacity
(takes range of values < c2 at capacity)
