"Robot cars" are cars that allow for automated driving. They can drive closer together than human driven "normal cars" and thereby raise road capacity. Obtaining a robot car instead of a normal car can also be expected to lower the userś value of time losses (VOT), because travel time can be...

We study different mixes of private and public supply of roads in a network with bottleneck congestion and heterogeneous users. In our setting, there are two parallel links for one origin and destination pair and two groups of travellers, where the group with higher value of time also has higher...

This paper analyzes the effect of carrier collaboration on fleet capacity, fleet structures in terms of the number and the size of vehicles, and load factors. The model features complementary networks, scheduling, price elastic demands, and demand uncertainty. For the case of a given number of...

In studying congestion tolling, it is important to account for heterogeneity in preferences of drivers, as ignoring it … can bias the welfare gains. We analyse the effects of tolling, in the bottleneck model, with continuous heterogeneity in … the value of time and schedule delay. The welfare gain of a time-variant toll increases with heterogeneity in the value of …
