Abstract

This paper formulates the methodologies to estimate optimal congestion tolls from long-run and short-run perspectives and applies them to the highways of Seoul. An optimal long-run congestion toll is estimated with an optimal volume-capacity-ratio to minimize the total costs which consist of two components: road construction and maintenance costs and traveler costs. By contrast, an optimal short-run congestion toll is estimated with a supply-demand equilibrium which is determined by using a speed-flow function and a disaggregate modal choice model. The results of a long-run analysis for the Seobu urban expressway suggest the optimal volume-capacity-ratio of 1.35 and the optimal congestion toll of 503 Won per automobile kilometer. By contrast, those of a short-run analysis for the Mia-ro urban arterial suggest 1.31 and 420 Won, respectively. Although our results are to some degree dependent on the interest rate and time value assumed, one basic conclusion holds up: the congestions toll tested could generate substantial gains in social welfare if applied to Seoul.

본 논문은 장기적 및 단기적 관점에서 도시내 도로의 최적 혼잡통행료를 추정하는 방법론을 구축하고, 이를 서울시의 주요 도로에 적용하였다. 장기적 관점의 최적 혼잡통행료는 도로 건설 유지비용과 통행자비용을 합한 총비용을 극소화하는 최적 교통량-용량 비율을 구한 다음 추정된다. 반면 단기적 관점의 최적 혼잡통행료는 통행시간-교통량 함수와 개별수단선택모형을 이용해 공급-수요 균형점을 구한 다음 추정된다. 도시고속도로인 서부간선도로에 대한 장기적 관점의 분석 결과 최적 교통량-용량비율과 승용차-km당 최적 혼잡통행료는 1.35와 503원인 반면, 도시간선도로인 미아로에 대한 단기적 관점의 분석 결과는 1.31과 420원인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석 결과는 어느 정도 할인율과 시간 가치에 영향을 받으나, 혼잡통행료를 부과하면 사회후생이 증가하는 것은 변함이 없는 것으로 나타났다.
