Abstract:To discuss the impact of the system properties on the public acceptability of congestion pricing and the relationship between public acceptability and effectiveness of it,five system properties of congestion pricing are selected as the model variables, and the ordered probit model and the MNL model are used to establish the models of public acceptability and effectiveness, which are calibrated by 476 sample data from SP survey, then the acceptability and effectiveness of three pricing scenarios are predicted by the two models. The research results reveal that the system properties influence acceptability greatly, but do not significantly influence effectiveness. At the disaggregate level, all charging schemes in this research are effective, and highly effective schemes are less acceptable, whereas much of highly acceptable schemes are still effective, which indicate that not all of the effective charging schemes are unacceptable. To enhance the feasibility of congestion pricing, the design of the measure should focus on the public acceptability of it.
