Harbour Expansion and Harbour Congestion Charges. An Application of Nonlinear Programming

The authors present a model based on nonlinear programming techniques to plan future expansion in the congested harbours of Taiwan. The aim is to secure optimal flows of goods through the harbours, and to consider the interests of the various inland regions.

Optimal Public transport Price and Service Frequency

Because values of time and passenger behaviour depend on the level of frequency it is found that: (1) in urban public transport there may be one low-deficit local optimum and one high-deficit local optimum, one of which is global; (2) contrary to what might be expected, optimal financial deficit per passenger is typically larger for high frequency services than for low-frequency services; (3) the optimal off-peak may exceed the optimal peak price.
