Toll roads that charge according to how much congestion there is. Computer systems where users bid for time. Any kind of auction system for renting a resource during some time. > Would there be a bound to the charge per time? No. The charge should be just high enough to eliminate congestion so that there is usually a parking space within one or two blocks. > The parking spaces would be > more attractive if they offered some sort of guarantee. The guarantee is to be able to find a space. That is what the parkers would pay for, the highest bidders getting the space during those times.
