Summary Congestion or toll pricing problems in [HeR98] require a solution to the system problem (the traffic assignment problem that minimizes the total travel delay) to define the set of all valid tolls or the toll set. For practical problems, it may not be possible to obtain an exact solution to the system problem and the inaccuracy in an approximate system solution may render the toll set empty. When this occurs, this paper offers alternative toll sets based on relaxed optimality conditions. With carefully chosen parameters, tolls from the relaxed toll sets are shown theoretically and empirically (using four transportation networks in the literature) to induce route choices that are nearly system optimal.
