This collaborative work with Prof. Ozbay’s group, and consists of a 2-year grant from C2SMART, is now published in Transport Policy. The paper details the calibration and validation process for the MATSim-NYC and applied to the city’s congestion pricing plans. The findings suggest that there is a pricing peak over which the benefits to Manhattan come at the expense to the residents of the other boroughs, and suggest a redistribution of revenues to transit services in those boroughs.
