Latent Variables in a Travel Mode Choice Model: Attitudinal and Behavioural Indicator Variables

Vredin Johansson, Maria; Heldt, Tobias; Johansson, Per - 2005

In a travel mode choice context, we use survey data to construct and test the significance of five individual specific latent variables - environmental preferences, safety, comfort, convenience and flexibility - postulated to be important for modal choice. Whereas the construction of the safety...

Mixed Logit Estimation of the Value of Travel Time

Algers, Staffan; Bergström, Pål; Dahlberg, Matz; … - 1998

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...

Product Differentiation on Roads: Second-Best Congestion Pricing with Heterogeneity under Public and Private Ownership

Verhoef, Erik T.; Small, Kenneth A. - 1999

We explore the properties of various types of public and private pricing on acongested road network with heterogeneous users and allowing for elasticdemand. Heterogeneity is represented by a continuum of values of time. Thenetwork consists of both serial and parallel links, which allows us to...

Time, Speeds, Flows and Densities in Static Models of Road Traffic Congestion and Congestion Pricing

Verhoef, Erik - 1997

This paper studies some of the properties and fundamentals of static models of road traffic congestion that have triggered much debate in the literature. The first part of the paper focuses in particular on the difficulties arising with the backward-bending cost curve in the context of...

Speed Choice, Car Following Theory and Congestion Tolling

Rouwendal, Jan - 2002

This paper provides a link between car following theory and the economic theoryof road congestion by means of a theory of speed choice. According to this theory speedchoice is based on a trade-off between the benefits (shorter travel time) and cost (higheraccident risk) of driving faster....
