EMPLOYER MOBILITY PLANS: ACCEPTABILITY, EFFICIENCY AND COSTS The concentrated and repeated nature of commuting traffic offers action potentials to control or reduce the number of single-occupant vehicles commuting during the peak hours. As source of the home-to-work journeys, the companies have...

Quality has to be built into products and processes during the design stage of their development. It is therefore crucial that any decision made in this early stage of development is based on accurate information. The information is typically obtained from a series of expermental tests, in which...

Landelijke Thuiszorg is a “social profit” organisation that provides home care services in several Belgian regions. In this paper, the core optimisation component of a decision support system to support the planning of the organisations’ home care service is described. Underlying this...

Consumer products and services can often be described as mixtures of ingredients. Examples are the mixture of ingredients in a cocktail and the mixture of different components of waiting time (e.g., in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle travel time) in a transportation setting. Choice experiments may...

In this paper, we propose an efficient individually adapted sequential Bayesian approach for constructing conjoint choice experiments. It uses Bayesian updating, a Bayesian analysis and a Bayesian design criterion for generating choice-set-designs for each individual respondent based on previous...
