A Practical Method to estimate the Benefits of Improved Network Reliability: An Application to Departing Air Passengers

Kroes, Eric; Koster, Paul R.; Peer, Stefanie - 2014

a general methodology to estimate the (changes in) scheduling costs due to (changes in) travel time variability for car … times, lower travel time variability, later departure times and reduced access costs. We find that on average the resulting … travel time variability and hence lower scheduling costs. Our results thus show that the total benefits from infrastructure …

Commuting for meetings

Fosgerau, Mogens; Engelson, Leonid; Franklin, Joel - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014

Urban congestion causes travel times to exhibit considerable variability, which leads to coordination problems when people have to meet. We analyze a game for the timing of a meeting between two players who must each complete a trip of random duration to reach the meeting, which does not begin...

The User Costs of Air Travel Delay Variability

Koster, Paul; Pels, Eric; Verhoef, Erik - 2013

We derive the expected user costs of US domestic air travel delay variability taking into account scheduling behavior of travelers. Travelers do not only consider mean arrival delays, but also face scheduling costs because they arrive too early or too late at their destination. The model allows...

On the cost of misperceived travel time variability

Xiao, Yu; Fukuda, Daisuke - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013

to aggregate measurement of travel time variability under some assumptions. This property makes valuation on travel time … calculate the empirical cost due to misperceived travel time variability. We find that (i) travelers are mostly pessimistic and … variability transferable from context to context, which is ideal for extensive policy evaluation. However, if respondents do not …

Modeling passenger train delay distributions: evidence and implications

Bergström, Anna; Krüger, Niclas A. - CTS - Centre for Transport Studies Stockholm (KTH and VTI) - 2013

This paper addresses the lack of reliability within the Swedish rail network by identifying passenger train delay distributions. Arrival delays are analyzed in detail using data provided by the Swedish Transport Administration, covering all train departures and arrivals during 2008 and 2009. The...

On the other half of the story: allowing for discrete penalties for excessive travel times in scheduling models

Wang, Qian; Sundberg, Marcus; Karlström, Anders - CTS - Centre for Transport Studies Stockholm (KTH and VTI) - 2013

In this paper, we introduce a discrete penalty for excessive travel times into scheduling models whose maximal expected utilities have attractive theoretical features of linearity in standard deviation or variance. The extended models maintain the properties of linearity, and its maximal...
