Fairness and Equity. ‌ A historical perspective on determining which factors play a role in public resistance to (dis)incentive approaches can found in the work of (Xxxxxxxx 1992). At the time, renewed interest in the problem of imposing monetary disincentives to ease peak hour congestion encountered strong opposition, as summarised in Table 4.

Several works in literature have since focussed on the issue of fairness, both in terms of collecting ‘lessons learned’ from implementation pilots (Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx 2010) and in analysing the trade-off between fairness and effectiveness of (dis)incentive mechanisms, its nature and its determining factors (Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxxxx 2017) Recent approaches have been attempting to include fairness directly as key performance indicator, leading to a class of incentive mechanisms which feature fairness-by-design, with promising results both in tradable credit schemes (X. Xx et al. 2012) and congestion charging (Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxx 2021). The issues of fairness and equity have thus far been mainly considered from a strategic/tactical planning level, and have been treaded in a strictly centralised fashion, as they rely on network-wide knowledge of the population demographic, the spatiotemporal composition of demand, etc.
