Given the difference between peak and off-peak occupancy rates in public transport, the average emission pertraveller kilometre is lower in the peak than during the off-peak period. For cars a reverse pattern can be observed.However, in this paper it is argued that it is much more fruitful to...

Urban re-development projects may generate various positive as well as negative spatial externalities to the existing population in a given area. This study aims to assess the order of magnitude of the expected net benefits for incumbent residents from a large scale project in the Southern part...

In travel surveys most respondents apply rounding of departure andarrival times to multiples of 5, 15 and 30minutes: in the annual Dutch travel survey about 85-95 percent of allreported times are 'round' ones. We estimaterounding models for departure and arrival times. The model allows oneto...

We employ a semi-parametric estimation approach to analyse observed and unobserved heterogeneity in the value of savings in travel time and schedule delay. Our econometric approach allows for the estimation of unobserved and observed heterogeneity in preferences in a flexible way, meaning that...
