Teleworking and Congestion: A Dynamic Bottleneck Analysis
Gubins, Sergejs; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2011
We analyze the welfare effects of part-day teleworking on road traffic congestion in the context of Vickrey's dynamic … bottleneck model. Endogenous decisions to become equipped with a teleworking-enabling technology change the scheduling of arrival … even costless teleworking might be marginally welfare reducing, after reaching the optimal penetration level, as an …

Bottleneck Congestion: Differentiating the Coarse Charge
Knockaert, Jasper; Verhoef, Erik T.; Rouwendal, Jan - 2010
The traditional bottleneck model for road congestion promotes the implementation of a triangular, fully time varying, charge as the optimal solution for the road congestion externality. However, cognitive and technological barriers put a practical limit to the degree of differentiation real...

Give or take? Rewards vs. Charges for a Congested Bottleneck
Rouwendal, Jan; Verhoef, Erik T.; Knockaert, Jasper - 2010
This paper analyzes the possibilities to relieve congestion using rewards instead of taxes, as well as combinations of rewards and taxes. The model considers a Vickrey-ADL model of bottleneck congestion with endogenous scheduling. With inelastic demand, a fine (time-varying) reward is equivalent...

Autonomous cars and activity-based bottleneck model: How do in-vehicle activities determine aggregate travel patterns?
Yu, Xiaojuan; van den Berg, Vincent A.C.; 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...

Emergent Hypercongestion in Vickrey Bottleneck Networks
Frascaria, Dario; Olver, Neil; Verhoef, Erik - 2020
Hypercongestion - the phenomenon that higher traffic densities can reduce throughput - is well understood at the link level, but has also been observed in a macroscopic form at the level of traffic networks; for instance, in morning rush-hour traffic into a downtown core. In this paper, we show...

Pricing, Capacity Choice and Financing in Transportation Networks
Verhoef, Erik T.; Rouwendal, Jan - 2003
This paper explores the interrelations between pricing, capacity choice and financingin transportation networks. It builds on the famous Mohring-Harwitz result on self-financing ofoptimally designed roads under optimal congestion pricing, and specifically investigates itsins and outs in a...

Speed-Flow Relations and Cost Functions for Congested Traffic: Theory and Empirical Analysis
Verhoef, Erik T. - 2003
A dynamic 'car-following' extension of the conventional economic model of traffic congestion is presented, which predicts the average cost function for trips in stationary states to be significantly different from the conventional average cost function derived from the speed-flow function. When...

Second-best Pricing for Imperfect Substitutes in Urban Networks
Rouwendal, Jan; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2003
This paper considers second-best pricing as it arises through incomplete coverage of full networks. The main principles are first reviewed by considering the classic two-route problem and some extensions that have been studied more recently. In most of these studies the competing routes are...
