The proposed model of travel choice behavior is based upon an assumption that individuals compare their choice alternatives on a series of attributes ordered in terms of importance; they eliminate from consideration those alternatives which do not meet their expectation on one or more of the...

The advancement of wireless communication technology has made possible the consideration of inter-vehicle communication as a foundation for developing decentralized advanced transportation information systems that would function as a sort of "internet on the road". In this paper, we discuss the...

A model of traveler behavior is proposed which is consistent with the possibility that travelers expend average daily amounts of time and money on travel with stable regularities both among urban areas and over time in the same area. The model is founded on economic utility theory. It is...

The product of this research is a dynamic simultaneous equations model of car ownership and modal travel distances as a function of income. The data are from the Dutch National Mobility Panel (1984-1987); and four modes are encompassed: car driver, car passenger, train, and bus-tram-subway. A...

Vehicle trials are an important source of information about how households would use battery electric vehicles. However, trial data are potentially biased because the novelty of the trial can introduce short-term changes in driving patterns and a positive effect for the technology can result...

This study examines the relationship between car mobility and the choice of alternative-fuel versus gasoline cars in the Netherlands during the 1984-1988 period. One alternative fuel, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), is priced considerably lower than gasoline and is available at service stations...

A structural model is used to explain activity interactions between heads of households and, in so doing, to explain household demand for travel. The model attempts to capture links between activity participation and associated derived travel, links between activities performed by male and...

A trip generation model has been developed using a time-use perspective, in which trips are generated in conjunction with out-of-home activities, and time spent traveling is another component of overall time use. The model jointly forecasts three sets of endogenous variables - (1) activity...
