Train Commuters' Scheduling Preferences: Evidence from a Large-Scale Peak Avoidance Experiment

Peer, Stefanie; Knockaert, Jasper; Verhoef, Erik - 2015

collected during large-scale peak avoidance experiment conducted in the Netherlands, in which participants could earn monetary … rewards for traveling outside peak hours. The experiment included ca. 1000 participants and lasted for about 6 months. Holders … of an annual train pass were invited to join the experiment, and a customized smartphone app was used to measure the …

Time-Varying Tolls in a Dynamic Model of Road Traffic Congestion with Elastic Demand

Verhoef, Erik - 1997

In this paper, a dynamic model of road traffic congestion is presented, with an elastic overall demand for morning peak road usage, and with the congestion technology used being 'flow congestion'. It is demonstrated that in such a case, the optimal time-varying toll should include a 'flat',...

Congestion caused by Speed Differences

Verhoef, Erik; Rouwendal, Jan; Rietveld, Piet - 1997

In this paper, we investigate congestion caused by differences in desired or possible speeds. Especially outside peak hours, speed differences are probably one of the most important reasons for congestion. Although the model setting, with one lane and no overtaking, may seem simple at first...

Time, Speeds, Flows and Densities in Static Models of Road Traffic Congestion and Congestion Pricing

Verhoef, Erik - 1997

This paper studies some of the properties and fundamentals of static models of road traffic congestion that have triggered much debate in the literature. The first part of the paper focuses in particular on the difficulties arising with the backward-bending cost curve in the context of...
