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
Assesses stakeholder perspectives on Qatar's school transportation system (STS), identifies a vision and goals for the STS, and discusses strategies to achieve the vision and better align Qatar's STS with international norms. This is the Arabic-language version.
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.
Report
Considering the challenges associated with continued growth and demographic changes, the government of Qatar is interested in updating its school transportation system (STS). This volume assesses the perspectives of parents and school administrators, identifies a vision for the STS, and discusses strategies to achieve it.
Research Brief
Describes a vision for updating Qatar's school transportation system and identifies strategies for achieving the proposed vision.
Project
RAND Europe is expanding the original traffic model it developed for Copenhagen to include time-of-day choice for car drivers. Doing so will allow city planners to assess the effectiveness of different charging policies aimed at reducing congestion levels.
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
In the 1990s, the usual assumption for an appraisal of road schemes in the UK was that total volumes of traffic were not affected by the capacity provided by the schemes. This assumption was questioned by the influential SACTRA committee in 1994.
Journal Article
This paper explores how alternative pricing and operating policies influence revenue generation, level of service, and travel time costs for high occupancy toll (HOT) lane facilities.
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.
Report
This report provides new empirical evidence from a study into the factors influencing demand for high-speed rail in the UK. The forecasts developed from these models will inform the debate around the future of high-speed rail in the UK.
Journal Article
This study investigated the applicability of Multinomial logit (MNL) models to predict the proportion of crashes by collision type and to estimate crash counts by collision type.
Journal Article
Even though research on group behavior is still a comparatively new field in transportation, rapid progress has been made since the beginning of the 21st century.
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
Review of the theoretical and applied literature on the use of logsums as a measure of consumer surplus change in project appraisal and evaluation.
Journal Article
More and more European and some non-European countries are developing models of their national transport systems to facilitate analysis and rational decision-making on national transport policy, whether the policy concerns infrastructure or transport management.
Journal Article
This paper presents work, undertaken for the UK Department for Transport, to help determine how policy could affect motorcycle usage.
Journal Article
Describes a study undertaken to determine the relative sensitivity of mode and time of day choice to changes in travel times and costs.
