The implementation of marginal external cost pricing in road transport
Verhoef, Erik T. - 1998
This paper discusses a number of issues that will become increasingly important nowthat the concept of marginal external cost pricing becomes more likely to be implementedas a policy strategy in transport in reality. The first part of the paper deals with thelong-run efficiency of marginal...

Robot cars and dynamic bottleneck congestion : the effects on capacity, value of time and preference heterogeneity
Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2015 - This version: 9 June 2015
"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...

Speed choice, car following theory and congestion tolling
Rouwendal, Jan - 2002 - This version: September 25, 2002
This paper provides a link between car following theory and the economic theoryof road congestion by means of a theory … of speed choice. According to this theory speedchoice is based on a trade-off between the benefits (shorter travel time … elaborating this relationship a number of car-following models can be derived fromthis theory of speed choice. Wit homogeneous …

Autonomous cars and activitybased bottleneck model : how do in-vehicle activities determine aggregate travel patterns?
Yu, Xiaojuan; Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2022
When traveling in an autonomous car, the travel time can be used for performing activities other than driving. This paper distinguishes users' work-related and home-related activities in autonomous cars and proposes an activity-based bottleneck model to investigate travelers' behavior in the...

Autonomous cars and dynamic bottleneck congestion revisited : how in-vehicle activities determine aggregate travel patterns
Yu, Xiaojuan; Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2019
We investigate the impacts of in-vehicle activities of commuters in the autonomous car on aggregate travel patterns. We allow for an autonomous car to affect the utility difference between being at home and being in the vehicle differently than the utility difference between being at work and...

Substitution between cars within the household
De Borger, Bruno L.; Mulalic, Ismir; Rouwendal, Jan - 2013
In this paper we study the demand for car kilometres in two-car households, focusing on the substitution between cars in response to fuel price changes. We use a large sample of detailed Danish data on two-car households to estimate -- for each car owned by the household -- own and cross-price...

Does public transit reduce car travel externalities?
Adler, Martin W.; Ommeren, Jos van - 2015
One of the main unanswered questions in the field of urban economics is to which extent subsidies to public transit are justified. We examine one of the main benefits of public transit, a reduction in car congestion externalities, the so-called congestion relief benefit, using quasi-natural...
