Abstract :
According to analysis the problem that “Whether it should continue for the highway charges” aroused public attention, as well as traffic congestion in the megalopolis, the paper firstly applied the principle of economics and social utility to analysis the feature of the highway to the implementation of the feasibility of traffic jam charging policy. Secondly, the paper gave a simulation analysis of highway implement traffic jam charging policy by using Systematic Dynamics model, and used vensim software to draw a system flow Figure, and put forward traffic jam charging measures for urban sections of the highway. Finally, the paper draw a conclusion that the highway urban sections of the megalopolis implement traffic jam charging policy can effectively relieve urban traffic jam and social pressure of public.
