Probabilistic Choice and Congestion Pricing with Heterogeneous Travellers and Price-Sensitive Demand
Koster, Paul; Verhoef, Erik T.; Shepherd, Simon; … - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014
This paper deals with first-best and second-best congestion pricing of a stylised two-link network with probabilistic route choice of travellers. Travellers may have heterogeneous values of travel times and may differ in their idiosyncratic route preferences. We derive first-best and second-best...

A Matching Model for the Backhaul Problem
Demirel, Erhan; Ommeren, Jos van; Rietveld, Piet - Tinbergen Instituut - 2007
The ‘backhaul problem’ is characterized by an imbalance in transport flows between locations. This problem is usually … freight price of transport from low demand regions to high demand regions, the so-called backhaul price, drops to zero. This … for transport by customers, may play an important role in the determination of backhaul prices. We demonstrate that …

Predicting Travel Time Variability for Cost-Benefit Analysis
Peer, Stefanie; Koopmans, Carl; Verhoef, Erik T. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2010
Unreliable travel times cause substantial costs to travelers. Nevertheless, they are not taken into account in many cost-benefit-analyses (CBA), or only in very rough ways. This paper aims at providing simple rules on how variability can be predicted, based on travel time data from Dutch...

Estimating the Benefits of Improved Rail Access; Geographical Range and Anticipation Effects
Koster, Hans R.A.; Ommeren, Jos N. van; Rietveld, Piet - Tinbergen Instituut
In this paper we investigate the effects of new railway stations on house prices using an extensive repeated sales dataset over a period of 13 years. We employ semiparametric panel data techniques allowing for anticipation effects of station openings. We show that a kilometre reduction in...
