Abstract [en]

Congestion charging systems have emerged as a promising policy tool for mitigating traffic congestion and reducing emissions in urban areas. This study applies a dynamic activity scheduling model to assess the effects of congestion pricing in the Greater Helsinki region. By simulating daily activity patterns and travel behaviour, we analyse the impacts of congestion charges on mode choice, destination selection, and departure time adjustments. Our findings reveal a 10% reduction in car use and a 27% decrease in total car kilometres travelled, demonstrating the effectiveness of congestion pricing in alleviating traffic congestion. However, the analysis also highlights the potential equity concerns, with impacts varying across locations and commuting patterns. These insights contribute to the growing body of evidence on the behavioural and distributional consequences of congestion pricing, offering valuable guidance for policymakers.
