A parallel between two classes of pricing problems in Transportation and Economics

Interuniversity Research Centre on Enterprise Networks, Logistics and Transportation - Cirrelt
January 2009

In this work, we establish a parallel between two classes of pricing problems that have attracted the attention of researchers in economics, theoretical computer science and operations research, each community addressing issues from its own vantage point. More precisely, we contract the problems of pricing a network or a product line, in order to achieve maximum revenue, given that customers maximize their individual utility.

Glossary of Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operation Terms

Transportation Research Board
April 2009



Common terms are necessary for us to understand one another as we develop and improve the management and operations of our transportation systems.

It was reviewed by members of various committees of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
