On 16 May 2017 TRAIL PhD student Erik-Sander Smits successfully defended his thesis ‘Strategic Network Modelling for Passenger Transport Pricing’ at Delft University of Technology.

Congratulations Erik-Sander!

Short summary
Innovative pricing measures for passenger transport, such as congestion
charging, can change travellers’ behaviour, and have the potential to
make the transport system more sustainable. This dissertation presents
a holistic strategic modelling framework to assess innovative pricing
measures on transport networks. A game theoretical approach allows
analysis of the decision making process of multiple stakeholders.
In addition, in-depth analyses of macroscopic node models and route
choice models are provided.
