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...

Welfare effects of distortionary company car taxation

Gutiérrez-i-Puigarnau, Eva; Ommeren, Jos van - 2009

In Europe, company cars are offered by employers as fringe benefits to their employees at a lower price than employees pay in the car market, mainly due to favourable taxation of company cars. We analyse the welfare effects of favourable taxation of company cars for the Netherlands. The...

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...

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) and cost (higheraccident risk) of driving faster....

Will all autonomous cars cooperate? : brands’ strategic interactions under dynamic congestion

Yu, Xiaojuan; Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2022 - Revision: July 2022

Autonomous cars allow safe driving with a smaller headway than that required for normal human-driven cars, thereby potentially improving road capacity. To attain this capacity benefit, cooperation among autonomous cars is vital. However, the future market may have multiple car brands and the...
