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 …

An indirect utility model of multiple car ownership and use

Rouwendal, Jan; Pommer, John - 2004

The number of households with two or more cars is steadily increasing over time. The reason is that ownership of a single car imposes restrictions on car use when there are multiple license holders in a household. If such restrictions are severe, the benefits of multiple-car ownership may exceed...

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...

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...

Analysis of environmental costs of mobility due to urban sprawl : a modelling study on Italian cities

Travisi, Chiara M.; Camagni, Roberto; Nijkamp, Peter - 2006

A sound empirical and quantitative analysis on the relationship between different patterns of urban expansion and the environmental or social costs of mobility is rare, and the few studies available provide at best a qualitative discussion of these issues. Some recent tentative studies on the...
