Abstract

We propose an area-wide Macroscopic Bottleneck Model for the Dutch Randstad area and use it to estimate a relation between dynamic aggregate inflow patterns and travel delays on highways. We find plausible parameter estimates, and a strong time variation of marginal external congestion costs, which are €9.68 in the busiest 30 minutes and only €2.08 for the other 60 minutes in the busiest 90 minutes.
