Abstract
In this paper we propose to optimise parking pricing fares in urban areas with the aim to improve transportation equity; the optimisation approach is applied to an origin-destination parking pricing policy that can differentiate the tariffs for each origin-destination pair, considering the difference in accessibility, in particular with public transport services. An optimisation model is implemented, and a solution algorithm is proposed. Model and algorithm are tested on the case study of Naples (Italy), where the quality of transit services is very different between zones and OD pairs; therefore, differentiating parking fares as a function of origin and destination of the trip may be very useful for rebalancing accessibilities among zones, aiming to improve transportation equity.
