Abstract

This study presents a comparative analysis of road toll systems by assessing their efficiency based on vehicle idling time and CO2 emissions. Road tolls are a crucial mechanism for managing traffic congestion and reducing environmental impact. Through a detailed case study, this research investigates the impact of road toll systems on two key factors: vehicle idling time and CO2 emissions. By comparing different tolling approaches, the study aims to unlock insights into their effectiveness in mitigating congestion and promoting environmental sustainability. The findings provide valuable guidance for policymakers, urban planners, and transportation authority’s seeking to optimize road toll systems for enhanced efficiency and reduced environmental footprint.
