People spend a lot of time commuting and often find it a burden. According to economics, the burden of commuting is … direct test of this strong notion of equilibrium, we find that people with longer commuting time report systematically lower … this ‘commuting paradox’. …

Braess and others have shown that creating a new link in a congested network, or adding capacity to an existing link, can raise total travel costs if drivers switch routes. We show that a paradox can also result when routes are fixed but users choose when to travel. As is true of the Braess...

We consider the role of the nonlinear commuting cost function in determination of the equilibrium commuting pattern … where all agents are mobile. Previous literature has considered only linear commuting cost, where in equilibrium, all … workers are indifferent about their workplace location. We show that this no longer holds for nonlinear commuting cost. The …

The ‘teleportation test’ has been used in travel behaviour research for more than a decade, as a means of assessing whether an individual views travel purely as a disutility. The teleportation concept has been used successfully in qualitative research to elicit responses and clarify...

How do emotions like happiness, pain, stress, sadness and fatigue vary during travel and by travel mode? Understanding the relationship between how we travel and how we feel offers insight into ways of improving existing transportation services, prioritizing investments and theorizing and...
