Abstract |
|
Toll rates and traffic volumes (or demand) are the two major factors affecting revenue as well as investment strategies on toll roads. Although it has been experiencing dramatic growth in its highway systems during the past 10 years, there has been a lack of understanding in maintaining and operating its toll roads. Since most of the freeways in India are toll roads, it is necessary to establish a methodology for the toll road system based on the characteristics of India's transportation systems and social economy. A methodology to determine the toll rates for India's toll road systems is introduced. Factors affecting the toll rate are analysed, including gross domestic product, total number of vehicles, growth rates of passenger and freight transport, and roadway conditions. |
