A framework combining system dynamics and group multicriteria decision aid is used to model the traffic crowding in cities. The basic model, which extends a congestion model described by K. Small, examines the behaviour of driving car commuters with respect to their home departure times to office during the morning rush hours. Several strategies for urban toll combined with working time flexibility are investigated.
