This issue of Current Topics includes over 70 abstracts of reports, conference papers, books and journal articles which focus on the use of road pricing to manage traffic demand and to reduce the environmental impact of road traffic. Amongst the specific topics covered are charging principles (e.g. time, distance, congestion levels), methods of tolling (e.g. electronic, booths, use of smart cards), modelling effects of road pricing, setting toll charges and driver attitudes. For High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes see Current Topic 143. These items have been selected from the material added to the Transport Research Laboratory's Library Database between 2002 and 2003. Much of the relevant English language published literature from the UK, USA, Australia and Europe is included; some of the non-UK literature is included courtesy of the OECD International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) database.
