Robot cars and dynamic bottleneck congestion : the effects on capacity, value of time and preference heterogeneity

Berg, Vincent A. C. van den; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2015 - This version: 9 June 2015

"Robot cars" are cars that allow for automated driving. They can drive closer together than human driven "normal cars …" and thereby raise road capacity. Obtaining a robot car instead of a normal car can also be expected to lower the userś … robot car users, the VOT is therefore (more strongly) heterogeneous. We study the effect of robot cars on social welfare for …

Human-driven vehicles' cruising versus autonomous vehicles' backand-forth congestion : the effects on traveling, parking and congestion

Yu, Xiaojuan; Berg, Vincent A. C. van den - 2024

This paper explores how the interaction between human-driven vehicles (HVs) cruising for parking and autonomous vehicles (AVs) traveling back and forth affects travel behavior and congestion. To capture the spatial distribution of parking, we develop a continuous spatial optimization model, with...

Comparitive performance analysis of European airports by means of extended data envelopment analysis

Suzuki, Soushi; Nijkamp, Peter; Pels, Eric; Rietveld, Piet - 2009

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has become an established approach for analyzing and comparing efficiency results of corporate organizations or economic agents. It has also found wide application in comparative studies on airport efficiency. The standard DEA approach to comparative airport...

The value of statistical life in road safety : a meta-analysis

Blaeij, Adriana Tanneke de; Florax, Raymond J. G. M.; … - 2000

Accident costs are an important component of the external costs of traffic, a substantial part of whichis related to fatal accidents. The evaluation of fatal accident costs crucially depends on theavailability of an estimate for the economic value of a statistical life. The aim of the...

Hands on the wheel, eyes on the phone : the effect of smart phone usage on road safety

Brands, Devi; Klingen, Joris; Ostermeijer, Francis - 2020

We provide novel evidence on the effect of smart phone use on road accidents. We exploit variation in phone usage fees in the Netherlands following a change in European Union (EU) roaming regulations implemented in 2017. The growth rate of mobile data roaming increased substantially after the...

Miles, speed and technology : traffic safety under oligopolistic insurance

Dementyeva, Maria; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2015

This paper studies road safety and accident externalities when insurance companies have market power, and can influence road users' driving behaviour via insurance premiums. We obtain both welfare and profit maximizing marginal conditions for first- and second-best insurance premiums for...
