Purpose – The aim of this study is to provide new insights into the factors that influence cancellation behaviour with respect to hotel bookings. The data is based on individual bookings drawn from a hotel reservation system database comprising nine hotels.Approach – The determinants of...

In this paper, we construct commuters’ travel-time profiles, namely, the menu of travel times that each individual will likely face according to alternate trip timing choices, to measure congestion delays for morning commutes in California and explore a new trip scheduling pattern of commuters...

This research analyzes the in uence of network structure on household spatial patterns, as measured by activity spaces. The analysis uses street network and travel survey data from the Twin Cities and South Florida to compile measures of network structure. Statistical regression models test the...

Integrated choice and latent variable (ICLV) models represent a promising new class of models which merge classic choice models with the structural equation approach (SEM) for latent variables. Despite their conceptual appeal, to date applications of ICLV models in marketing are still rare. The...

In this paper we use mixed logit specifications to allow parameters to vary in the population when estimating the value of time for long-distance car travel. Our main conclusion is that the estimated value of time is very sensitive to how the model is specified: we find that it is significantly...

We study the trip scheduling preferences of train commuters in a real-life setting. The underlying data have been collected during large-scale peak avoidance experiment conducted in the Netherlands, in which participants could earn monetary rewards for traveling outside peak hours. The...

This study presents an exploratory analysis of the key factors contributing to fatal and severe crashes on German motorways. We employ Poisson and Negative Binomial regression models, combined with Lasso regularization and stability selection, to explore model specifications incorporating...

We study the impact of transport-induced agglomeration on workers' earnings, as well as the productivity and costs of establishments, in the capital region of Finland using comprehensive individual- and establishment-level registry data. To our knowledge, we are the first to jointly examine...

When should travellers leave for the airport? This paper develops a model for optimal airport arrival timing when travellers face uncertain travel times and can potentially board earlier flights. We show that access to earlier flights creates a ``recourse option" that fundamentally changes...
