Congestion pricing has been advocated as an efficient way to mitigate traffic congestion since 1920s. A prevalent form of congestion pricing in the U.S. is high occupancy/toll (HOT) lanes. The operating objective of HOT lanes is to improve the throughput of the whole freeway segment while ensuring a superior level of service on HOT lanes. To achieve this, ideally tolls should vary in response to real-time traffic conditions. Microscopic simulation has been used to evaluate pricing schemes or operation strategies of managed lanes. As a trustworthy traffic simulation tool, CORSIM has a very limited capability of simulating dynamic tolling strategies and drivers lane choice behaviors in the presence of tolls. This research enhanced CORSIM and developed a CORSIM-based simulation platform to evaluate the impacts of a variety of pricing strategies on managed-lane operations
