Congestion pricing systems are used in a variety of transport networks to reduce capacity burdens during periods of peak demand. By imposing more costs on network users, economics suggests that congestion pricing schemes more realistically model the costs of consumption during peak periods (which are the delays and stoppages that affect all network users). This variable pricing scheme is used in a variety of networks, such as utilities markets, public transportation and road tolls to regulate various types of traffic flows.
