Multiple road pricing schemes in one simulation

Question asked by Koen Mommens:

is it possible to have multiple road pricing schemes (all of the distance type) into one simulation? To for example have a scheme for vans with a certain price for certain links and a scheme for truck with another price for other links, and barges, etc. If it is possible, could you give me a tip how to do so?

In short, yes, it should be doable. There is a org.matsim.roadpricing.TollFactor interface that allows you to multiply the base toll per link (assumed to be constant) by a certain factor. You can be as creative as you need to be with the toll factor as it can depend on person, vehicle, time of day, link (or a combination of them all). 

In the org.matsim.roadpricing.RunRoadPricingExample example, you add an overriding module called RoadPricingModule which is an instance of an AbstractModule. It's probably not the most elegant way, and yes, we will clean up the different ways to set the toll schemes, but you can either create/construct the RoadPricingModule with a RoadPricingScheme as an argument, or create a RoadPricingSchemeProvider ... the main thing being that this pricing scheme should be of the type
