Train Commuters' Scheduling Preferences: Evidence from a Large-Scale Peak Avoidance Experiment

Peer, Stefanie; Knockaert, Jasper; Verhoef, Erik - 2015

collected during large-scale peak avoidance experiment conducted in the Netherlands, in which participants could earn monetary … rewards for traveling outside peak hours. The experiment included ca. 1000 participants and lasted for about 6 months.

Transport Investment Appraisal and the Environment

Nijkamp, Peter; Ubbels, Barry; Verhoef, Erik - 2002

This review considers the role of environmental effects in transport investment appraisal, mainly from the perspective of cost-benefit analysis, the most widely adopted appraisal technique. Although the basic principles of CBA are straightforward, several complications are identified that may...

Diagnostic Tools for Nonlinearity in Spatial Models

de Graaff, Thomas; Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Nijkamp, Peter; … - 1998

There is an increasing awareness of the potential of nonlinear modeling in regional science, which can partly be explained by the recognition of the limitations of conventional equilibrium models in complex situationsand partly by the easy availability and accessibility of sophisticated...

The Value of Statistical Life in Road Safety: A Meta-Analysis

de Blaeij, Arianne; Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Rietveld, Piet - 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...

Time-Varying Tolls in a Dynamic Model of Road Traffic Congestion with Elastic Demand

Verhoef, Erik - 1997

In this paper, a dynamic model of road traffic congestion is presented, with an elastic overall demand for morning peak road usage, and with the congestion technology used being 'flow congestion'. It is demonstrated that in such a case, the optimal time-varying toll should include a 'flat',...

Congestion caused by Speed Differences

Verhoef, Erik; Rouwendal, Jan; Rietveld, Piet - 1997

In this paper, we investigate congestion caused by differences in desired or possible speeds. Especially outside peak hours, speed differences are probably one of the most important reasons for congestion. Although the model setting, with one lane and no overtaking, may seem simple at first...

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...
