This paper summarises the results of an extensive stated preference (SP) survey, conducted in Switzerland in order to obtain detailed information for the evaluation of road pricing schemes. Four different SP experiments were included: one about the political acceptability of road pricing and the...

Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) are becoming increasingly available throughout the world. While the impact of the provided information on the switching behavior has been investigated in the past, an area of research that is less well understood relates to the effect of the...

The problem of statistical model specification was initially raised by R.A. Fisher who understood it as an informed selection whose adequacy is testable a posteriori. This, however, raised the problem of how to blend substantive subject matter with statistical information in empirical modeling,...

Planning is an integral part of many behavioural aspects related to transportation: residential relocation, activity and travel scheduling, route choice, etc. People make plans and then select actions to execute those plans. The plans are inherently dynamic. They evolve due to situational...

Maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) procedure is generally adopted in discrete choice analysis to solve complex models without closed mathematical formulation. This procedure differs from the maximum likelihood simply because simulated probabilities are inserted into the Log-Likelihood (LL)...

We design a donations vs. own money choice experiment and compare the results from three different treatments. In two of the treatments the pay-offs are hypothetical. In the first of these, a short cheap talk script was used and subjects were required to state their own preferences in this...

A number of authors have discussed the possible advantages of conditioning parameter distributions on observed choices when working with Mixed Multinomial Logit models. However, the number of applications is still relatively small, partly due to a limited implementation in available software. To...

Based on the contention that the influence of context on mode choices made in multi-modal trip chains is under-researched, this paper discusses the design and results of a stated choice experiment to estimate the effects of context variables on train egress mode choice: the mode chosen after a...

We briefly review and discuss traditional conjoint analysis (CA) and discrete choice experiments (DCEs), widely used stated preference elicitation methods in several disciplines. We pay particular attention to the origins and basis of CA, and show that it is generally inconsistent with economic...

We show in a theoretical model that the benefit from additional attention to the marginal attribute within a choice set depends upon the expected utility loss from making a suboptimal choice if it is ignored. Guided by this analysis, we then develop an empirical method to measure an individual's...
