This study proposes a novel analytical model to evaluate how emission exposure affects commuters\u2019 departure time choices and parking behavior. Different from traditional bottleneck models, our model includes a nonlinear term in the generalized cost function to account for emission exposure. The findings reveal that, at user equilibrium, rational commuters seeking to minimize their own generalized costs will park outward, resulting in undesired scenarios in which all walking commuters suffer from emission exposure. However, we show that in a system-optimal scenario, emission exposure can be eliminated if commuters park inward; the schedule delay cost is minimized in such a parking order. To achieve this outcome, we propose a new spatiotemporal parking pricing scheme designed to reduce the overall system cost and incentivize inward parking patterns. Case studies using empirical data show that this pricing approach, independent of specific parking orders, effectively encourages inward parking, thereby minimizing emissions and improving commuter welfare. Hopefully, findings from this research can provide insights to the development of effective roadside parking pricing strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems12120548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,9]],"date-time":"2024-12-09T11:16:48Z","timestamp":1733743008000},"page":"548","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Parking Pricing in the Morning Commute Problem Considering Human Exposure to Vehicular Emissions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yu","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Modern Posts, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenchao","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation and Logistics, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8568-6707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Merced County Association of Governments, Merced, CA 95340, USA"}]},{"given":"Zhanbo","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Transportation and Logistics, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Laboratory of Integrated Transportation Big Data Application Technology, Chengdu 610031, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104296","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trd.2024.104296","article-title":"Modal shift, environmental benefits and population exposure assessment on contingent transport policies","volume":"133","author":"Han","year":"2024","journal-title":"Transp.
