The assessment of uninterrupted traffic flow is traditionally based on empirical methods. We develop some analytic queueing models based on traffic counts and we model the behavior of traffic flows as a function of some of the most relevant determinants. These analytic models allow for...

We study the modeling of a generic assembly system with infinite buffers. This open system consists of two input processes which deliver one component for assembly. The component interarrival times are identical continuously and uniformly distributed. A kit contains one unit of each component...

In this paper, an overview of different analytic queueing models for traffic on road networks is presented. In the literature, it has been shown that queueing models can be used to adequately model uninterrupted traffic flows. This paper gives a broad review on this literature. Moreover, it is...

In this paper, the welfare effects of a budget-neutral increase in taxes on car commuters are studied in a model that takes into account the presence of employer-paid parking at the workplace. It is found that the presence of employer-paid parking substantially increases the welfare effect of...

This paper extends a standard model of welfare optimal peak-period congestion tolls to take into account two characteristics of typical European labor markets, viz. wage bargaining and the increasing potential of telecommuting as an alternative to working on-the-job. Specifically, we consider...

In Europe, the preferential tax treatment of company cars implies that many employees receive a company car as part of their compensation package. In this paper, we consider a model in which wages and the decision whether or not to provide a company car are the result of direct negotiation...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper analyses the effectiveness of policy measures aimed at triggering a modal shift in the freight transport market. The analysis is based on the inventory‐theoretic framework that studies modal choice from a business logistics viewpoint. The crux of the inventory‐theoretic...
