- Why Building Roads Creates Traffic? “The Fundamental Law of Road Congestion: Evidence from US Cities” discussion paper here (HT Leo)
- Congestion costs in Australia
- Braess paradox: “Put simply, the paradox ... says that adding a new road to a transportation network, rather than making things batter, may actually slow things down for all its users” (Vanderbilt in Traffic). We have just presented a working paper at the 8th Space Syntax Symposium that analyses the relationship between street-network connectivity and travel time variability. Well, It's jus a working paper but the results suggest that the Braess paradox should be the exception.
- The Case for Congestion Pricing
- "Congestion is a bit like cholesterol - if you don’t have any, you die"
- The Brazilian government has just signed a federal law that gives municipalities the legal support to implement congestion pricing schemes (revenue must be provided to public transportation) - written in Portuguese only.
