In recent years, the automotive industry has been rapidly advancing towardconnected vehicles with higher degrees of autonomous capabilities. Thistrend opens up many new possibilities for AI-based efficient trafficmanagement. This paper investigates traffic optimization through thesetting and broadcasting of dynamic and adaptive tolls under the assumptionthat the cars will be able to continually reoptimize their paths as tollschange. Previous work has studied tolling policies that result in optimal traffic flowand several traffic models were developed to compute such tolls.Unfortunately, applying these models in practice is infeasible due to thedynamically changing nature of typical traffic networks. Moreover, this papershows that previously developed tolling models that were proven to yieldoptimal flow in theory may not be optimal in real-life simulation. Next, thispaper introduces an efficient tolling scheme, denotedDelta-tolling, for setting dynamic and adaptive tolls. We evaluatethe performance of Delta-tolling using a traffic micro-simulator.Delta-tolling is shown to reduce average travel time by up to 35\% overusing no tolls and by up to 17\% when compared to the current state-of-the-arttolling scheme.
