AN ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK OF PRICING ACCEPTABILITY: APPLICATION TO FOUR CASE STUDIES. IN: ACCEPTABILITY OF TRANSPORT PRICING STRATEGIES

This chapter draws an analytical framework from a theoretical approach of acceptability and applies it to the assessment of acceptability of a series of ongoing road pricing schemes in Europe. The first section elaborates on the theoretical framework of acceptability based on an application of the Rawisian theory of justice in the area of mobility and transport services. This framework is next applied to some successful and some failed tolling schemes in urban areas. The Lyon case study is extended to show how a quantitative evaluation of acceptability can be made possible.
