This paper develops a log-linear regression approach to estimate missing data in a sparse origin-destination (O-D) matrix assuming the sampled or observed O-D trips follow a good gravity pattern. The approach is tested with randomly selected samples from the known portions of 1997, 2002, and...

Analysing over 10 million journeys made by members of London's Cycle Hire Scheme, we find that female customers' usage characteristics are demonstrably different from those of male customers. Usage at weekends and within London's parks characterises women's journeys, whereas for men, a commuting...

Activity-based modelling approaches require a typical survey instrument which can collect the finer details of activities of each individual over both time and space. This paper focuses on the design of a new survey instrument called an activity-travel diary; examines its method of...

Many analyses of traffic signal queues use Webster and Cobbe's formula, which combines the net effect of the red/green cycle with a term representing stochastic effects, idealised as an M/D/1 queue process having random arrivals and uniform service. Several authors have noted that this component...

<title>Abstract</title> A relevant issue for the strategic modeling of interregional freight transport networks is to include external costs as part of a policy that supports the mechanisms for managing and pricing to achieve the social optimum. In this paper, a freight transport model, including external...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper proposes a multicriteria methodology for the analysis of investment in inland waterway infrastructure projects, taking into consideration allocative efficiency, the effect on regional development and environmental impact. The methodology is based on an analytic hierarchy...

A model is proposed to determine the global satisfaction of interurban bus service users. The most relevant variables are determined globally for all users as well as by user segments. Various ordered-type logit and probit models are fitted for user behavior, to determine the most important...

<title>Abstract</title> Using a case study approach situated historically, this paper examines how dynamic ridesharing (DRS) has evolved through time in tandem with changes in information and communication technologies (ICTs). Informed speculation is then offered on the future of DRS. A chronological review of...

<title>Abstract</title>This paper explores air passengers' behavior of airport access mode choice and develops airport access mode choice models for two major domestic airports in Korea, Gimpo Airport and Daegu Airport. First, descriptive analyses are conducted to identify whether the key explanatory variables...

<title>Abstract</title>The economics literature offers many examples of studies of the economic impact of transportation infrastructure such as highways, ports, and airports; however, little attention has been paid to other types of infrastructure such as logistics platforms. This article is a first assessment...
