TERRORIST THREATS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
NASCU, Ioan - In: Theoretical and Empirical Researches in Urban Management 4 (2009) 2(11), pp. 80-86
Public transportation is an activity facing various problems. One of them, very complex and dangerous, is terrorism which together with criminal activities and vandalism, is making the top of the threats affecting public transportation and therefore urban life quality. Public transportation has...

Congestion caused by speed differences
Verhoef, Erik T.; 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 …

Second-best congestion pricing in general static transportation networks with elastic demand
Verhoef, Erik T. - 1998
This paper studies the second-best problem where not all links of acongested transportation network can be tolled. The second-best taxrule for this problem is derived for general static networks, so thatthe solution presented is valid for any graph of the network, and forany set of tolling...

Product differentiation on roads : second-best congestion pricing with heterogeneity under public and private ownership
Verhoef, Erik T.; Small, Kenneth A. - 1999 - This version: 12/08/99
We explore the properties of various types of public and private pricing on acongested road network with heterogeneous users and allowing for elasticdemand. Heterogeneity is represented by a continuum of values of time. Thenetwork consists of both serial and parallel links, which allows us to...

Congestion modelling
Lindsey, Robin; Verhoef, Erik T. - 1999 - This version: 05/11/99
Transportation researchers have long struggled to find satisfactory ways ofdescribing and analysing traffic congestion … congestion on an isolatedroad under stationary conditions. We set up the supply-demand framework usedto characterize equilibrium …

Second-best congestion pricing in general networks : algorithms for finding second-best optimal toll levels and toll points
Verhoef, Erik T. - 2000 - This version: 11/09/00
This paper considers the second-best problem where not all links of a congested transportation networkcan be tolled. The paper builds on earlier work, in which the second-best tax rule for this problem wasderived for general static networks, so that the solution presented is valid for any graph...
