Abstract

This chapter analyses two similar cases relating to freeway widening in Southern California: the first deals with the issue of how to expand a combined free-toll road corridor (SR91) and the second looks at the question of whether a section of the I-5 freeway should be expanded to 10 or 12 lanes.

With the assistance of Donghwan An, Deepali Chausalk, Soojung Kim, Bumsoo Lee and Xiangrong (Helen) Shi.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Value of times for passengers ($6.5/h) and trucks ($35.5/h / PCE) were weighted according to system-wide delay costs generated by passenger cars and trucks. The composite toll was based on the weighted average ($8.41/h/PCE). Thus, $1 is corresponding to 7.1 min in the model.

  2. 2.

    Only high occupancy vehicles are allowed to use the toll lanes, so there are no trucks. In this study, however, the toll lanes are not assumed to be HOV lanes, and vehicles were allowed to choose their route based only on the sum of delay cost and tolls.
