Consider a consumer who can choose to travel on a congestible fast mode or on a congestible slow mode. Users who most value time will use the fast mode. A toll on the slow mode can induce some people who initially use that mode to switch to the fast mode. A toll on the slow mode with revenue not...

The major goal of travel behavior research is to understand and model the processes by which people make decisions regarding activities and travel. These decisions, including whether, when, where, and with whom to participate in particular activities, and the choice of mode and route, are...

This paper presents findings from a recent study on roadway design preferences among pedestrians, drivers, bicyclists, and public transit users along a major urban corridor in the East San Francisco Bay Area.  Sponsored by the California DOT, the research focused on exploring design...

This paper reports on research conducted by the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center and sponsored by the California Department of Transportation (“Caltransâ€) to establish performance measures for pedestrian and bicycle safety and mobility along urban arterials. Although...

Growing interest in sustainable transportation systems and livable communities has created a need for more complete measures of pedestrian travel. Yet, many performance measures do not account for short pedestrian movements, such as walking between stores in a shopping district, walking from a...

High octane gasolines, includang "premium" and midgrade, steadily gained market share in the United States during the 1980s, increasing from 12% of the total gasohne market in 1983 to 15% in 1985 and 30% in 1989. This 18% increase in market share represents an aggregate revenue transfer from...

Local area freight networks (LANs) are used to collect and distribute freight within metropolitan regions. Focusing on common carriers, this paper classifies LAN topologies, then shows how the optimal topology depends on demand characteristics. Continuous space approximations are used to analyze...

Planners and others have proposed developing high-density residential nodes around transit stations to reduce auto dependence and encourage transit use. Such nodes, the argument goes, would provide more patrons for the transit system, more shoppers for nearby stores, and more of a community for...

Welfare-to-work transportation programs are predicated on a conceptualization of the spatial mismatch hypothesis that focuses on the central-city residential locations of welfare participants, rapidly expanding job opportunities in the suburbs, and the long commutes needed to connect them....

This paper introduces the theme of the special issue and lays a foundation for arguments concerning the potential usefulness of Object-Oriented Geographic Information Systems (OOGIS) for the development and testing of dlsaggregate behavloral travel models. It also states goals for Intelhgent...
