An Empirical Analysis on Freeway Toll Standard Rationality
The rationality of the existing toll standard is analyzed empirically, considering psychological tolerance of residents to freeway toll standard, the changes in transportation demand characteristics before and after toll standard changed as well as the relationship between the transportation volume and transportation distance and gross domestic product (GDP) and industrial structure. The research shows that psychological tolerance to the existing toll standard of residents in western region is lower than that in other regions and its toll standard is on the high side. Toll standard is negatively correlated with regional transportation volume, transportation turnover and transportation distance. If the toll standard changes, transportation volume and transportation distance change large reversely, showing that the toll standard is unreasonable. Reducing the current toll standard is conducive to promoting economic development, accelerating the upgrade and adjustment of industrial structure and strengthening the space linkage of economic development. Finally, suggestions for improvement of current toll standard are proposed. The reasonability of existing toll standard can be identified indirectly in the view of the economic development strategy by using the reference comparative analysis method proposed in the paper.
