Journal Article
Increasing digitalization and the evolution of the Internet have had, and are still having, an impact on the demand for postal services.
Report
This report presents analysis that compares the PLANET long-distance model and the Department for Transport's long-distance model (LDM) and helps to inform which components of both models might be used to develop an improved HS2 Ltd model.
Report
This report describes work to enhance the pivoting component of the Sydney Strategic Model (STM). Pivoting combines base and future model forecasts with base matrix information to produce the best possible predictions of future transport patterns.
Journal Article
The study of respondent heterogeneity is one of the main areas of research in the field of choice modelling.
Report
This report documents work to update the Application System of the Sydney Strategic Model (STM). The Application System implements models of frequency, mode and destination choice for each of the nine travel purposes in the STM.
Journal Article
Stated choice surveys are used extensively in the study of choice behaviour across many different areas of research, notably in transport.
Report
Different market segments have varying postal service needs, according to RAND Europe research conducted for the European Commission. All consumers value parcel services, reliability, and low levels of loss, but big businesses value letter services more than small or medium businesses or the public.
Report
This report documents work to update the Population Synthesiser component of the Sydney Strategic Model (STM). The Population Synthesiser generates forecasts of the future Sydney population by spatial area and socio-economic segment.
Journal Article
The mean value of travel time savings obtained from a random parameters logit model estimated using the respondents who received the D-efficient design survey was closer to what is typically found in the literature.
Journal Article
This paper presents empirical findings from the comparison between two principal preference elicitation techniques: discrete choice experiments and profile-based best–worst scaling.
Journal Article
In this article, we present an application of jointly estimated attitudinal and choice models to a real-world transport study, looking at the role of latent attitudes in a rail travel context. Our results show the impact that concern with privacy, liberty and security, and distrust of business, technology and authority have on the desire for rail travel in the face of increased security measures, as well as for universal security checks.
Report
This study was aimed at understanding practical privacy, liberty and security trade-offs individuals make to better inform public policy about preferences in this domain and to inform the debate about the balance between security and civil liberties.
Journal Article
The increase in value of time (VOT) with trip length is more likely to be due to heteroskedasticity (in the data studied) and the underlying VOT is therefore not increasing with distance at an individual level.
Journal Article
Contrary to previous conclusions, the authors find that respondents do not tend to overweight private information when updating beliefs.
Journal Article
The popularity of light-duty trucks has increased with important implications for air quality, traffic accidents and gasoline demand.
Journal Article
This paper offers a critical overview of the full spectrum of household discrete choice-based automobile demand models.
Journal Article
This paper examines the factors and incentives that are most likely to influence households' choice for cleaner vehicles in the metropolitan area of Hamilton, Canada.
Journal Article
The focus of this paper is on the topic of elderly trip generation and the development of models to help formalise some important relationships between trip-making behaviour and personal, household and contextual variables (such as location).
Journal Article
A substantial amount of research is presently being carried out to understand the complexities involved in modelling the choice of departure time and mode of travel.
Report
Details joint research by RAND Europe, City University and the Kings Fund to investigate which factors might drive patients' choices at the point of referral.
