This study evaluates behavioural outcomes associated with a new approach - the government social franchise (GSF) model - developed to improve reproductive health and family planning (RHFP) service quality and capacity in Vietnam's commune health stations. A quasi-experimental design with a...

The conventional sequential four-step procedure of travel demand forecasting has been widely adopted by practitioners. However, it suffers from inconsistent consideration of travel times and congestion effects in various steps of the procedure. A combined travel demand model overcomes the...

Paradox in the transportation literature is about improving an existing link or adding a new link can actually increase network-wide travel costs or travel costs of each traveler. In this paper, we investigate the stochastic assignment paradox using the multinomial weibit (MNW) model, a new...

This paper proposes an alternate formulation for the combined distribution and assignment (CDA) problem, which seeks to determine consistent level-of-service and flow values of the trip distribution and traffic assignment steps. The CDA problem is modeled as a hierarchical travel choice problem...

This study provides an unconstrained minimization program as an alternative formulation for the multinomial weibit (MNW) stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) model that explicitly considers the heterogeneous perception variances with respect to different trip lengths under congested conditions....

Travel time, travel time reliability and monetary cost have been empirically identified as the most important criteria influencing route choice behaviour. We concentrate on travel time and travel time reliability and review two prominent user equilibrium models incorporating these two factors....

Risk measures are often used by decision makers (DMs) as a scalar risk characterization by integrating the statistical characteristics of risk as well as the DMs’ risk strategy towards uncertainty. A good risk measure typically needs to have a risk preference control mechanism, a complete...

In this paper, we consider the combined distribution and assignment (CDA) problem with link capacity constraints modeled as a hierarchical logit choice problem based on random utility theory. The destination and route choices are calculated based on the multi-nominal logit probability function,...

Perceived mean-excess travel time is a new risk-averse route choice criterion recently proposed to simultaneously consider both stochastic perception error and travel time variability when making route choice decisions under uncertainty. The stochastic perception error is conditionally dependent...

<title>Abstract</title> Modeling the elasticity of travel demand in network equilibrium analysis has several important transportation applications. In this paper, we provide a mathematical programming formulation for the C-logit stochastic user equilibrium problem with elastic demand (CL-SUE-ED) in the route...
