The development of a robust method to appraise a-priori the monetary benefits of different possible measures to improve regularity of the Paris suburban train network required values for the level of reliability as experienced by the travellers. These values-of-reliability were obtained from a large-scale Stated Preference (SP) data set that was collected specifically for this project. This technical report presents the estimation results of the models that have been developed based on this data set.
