A discrete choice model is presented of travelers’ decisions whether or not to use different forms of ICT (travel information and teleworking) in the context of risky travel times and arrival time constraints. The model is estimated on data from two travel simulator experiments. One experiment...

Decision making with respect to large infrastructure projects is at least partly based on ex ante evaluations of costs and impacts. Impacts include economic, environmental, and social impacts, sometimes aggregated in a cost – benefit analysis (CBA). For such ex ante evaluations the quality...

Conventional approaches to measuring accessibility benefits are not capable of fully measuring the total accessibility benefits of integrated land-use – transport strategies, in which both land-use and transport changes form part of the policy strategy. In this paper a comprehensive...

Lock-in, the escalating commitment of decision makers to an ineffective course of action, has the potential to explain the large cost overruns in large-scale transportation infrastructure projects. Lock-in can occur both at the decision-making level (before the decision to build) and at the...

Assumptions about the effects of various land-use characteristics on travel patterns have found their way into diverse concepts of planning and design, such as the compact city and neighbourhood-design principles. In general, these concepts aim at reducing travel distances and reducing...
