Applications of Heuristic Algorithms to Optimal Road Congestion Pricin

This outlines a method for dynamic pricing of high-occupancy toll lanes based on non-linear programming techniques, finite difference stochastic approximation, genetic algorithms and simulated annealing stochastic algorithms, coupled with vector autoregressive techniques, producing a solution for optimal flows and optimal tolls.
