The evaluation of transportation projects has traditionally been carried out in the context of economic efficiency in terms of savings in travel time, vehicle operating cost, and safety. The broader long-term effects on economic development (i.e., job, income and business growth) are a concern...

The objective of this exploratory research is to investigate psychological effects of travel behavior on residential location choice by commuters. Structural equations were developed based on 176 samples from two cities in Thailand, namely, Bangkok and Ubon Ratchathani. Empirical results...

This study investigated the contribution of psychological factors in explaining the choice of transportation mode in six Asian countries. Data were collected from 1118 respondents in Japan, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The dependent variable was the intention to use...

Transportation agencies spend billions of dollars annually on managing a wide range of assets to meet public, legislative, and agency expectations. These assets vary from the physical transportation infrastructure, to equipment, material stocks, data and information, and human resources. The...

This paper investigates commuters' decision to delay their departure from work to home, in an effort to avoid traffic congestion. A sample of commuters, from the congested Seattle metropolitan area, is used to estimate a model of the decision to delay homeward departure as well as models of the...

This paper studies public transport demand by estimating a system of equations for multimodal transit systems where different modes may act competitively or cooperatively. Using data from Athens, Greece, we explicitly correct for higher-order serial correlation in the error terms and investigate...

This paper presents an empirical analysis of the statistical bias resulting from the endogeniety of vehicle specific attributes in econometric models of household vehicle utilization. Using data from a recent U.S. household survey, both corrected and uncorrected vehicle utilization models are...

We identify seven areas in which recent research on auto demand has made significant progress. We discuss the importance of these areas in understanding and predicting auto demand and describe the methods that researchers have used to address them. Finally, we identify the issues that this...
