   <title type="html">Optimal Highway Design and User Welfare Under Value Pricing</title>

   <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;This paper investigates the optimal design of highways operated under a form of congestion pricing called value pricing. Value pricing involves dividing a highway into free and priced lanes so that in equilibrium the highway effectively operates at two levels of service, with those users placing a higher value on travel time savings selecting the faster, priced route.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

   <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Provides a review of transport model applications that not only provide a central traffic forecast (or forecasts for a few scenarios), but also quantify the uncertainty in the traffic forecasts in the form of a confidence interval or related measures. Both uncertainty that results from using uncertain inputs (e.g. on income) and uncertainty in the model itself are treated.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

   <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;With time periods of the magnitude generally represented in practical modelling, i.e. peak periods of 2-3 hours, time switching is generally more sensitive in these data than mode switching. However, the context of the modelling and the extent to which relevant variables can be measured will strongly influence these results.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>
