Accounting for travel time variability in the optimal pricing of cars and buses
Tirachini, Alejandro; Hensher, David A.; Bliemer, Michiel C. J.Published 2013-03-01This paper addresses the problem of optimal pricing of both cars and buses in a multimodal transport corridor including externalities of congestion, bus crowding and travel time variability. A social welfare maximisation ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Accounting for travel time variability in the optimal pricing of cars and buses
Hensher, David A.; Tirachini, Alejandro; Bliemer, Michiel C. J.Published 2014-01-01A number of studies have shown that in addition to the common influences on mode, route and time of day of travel choices such as travel time and cost, travel time variability plays an increasingly important role, especially ...Open AccessArticle -
Crowding in public transport systems: effects on users, operation and implications for the estimation of demand
Hensher, David A.; Rose, John M.; Tirachini, AlejandroPublished 2013-01-01The effects of high passenger density at bus stops, at rail stations, inside buses and trains are diverse. This paper examines the multiple dimensions of passenger crowding related to public transport demand, supply and ...Open AccessArticle -
The economics and engineering of bus stops: Spacing, design and congestion
Tirachini, AlejandroPublished 2012-05-01This paper re-considers the problem of choosing the number of bus stops along urban routes, first by estimating the probability of stopping in low demand markets, and second by analysing the interplay between bus stop size, ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Embedding risk attitudes in a scheduling model: Application to the study of commuting departure time
Li, Zheng; Tirachini, Alejandro; Hensher, David A.Published 2011-01-01Traditionally, the value of travel time savings (VTTS) and the value of reliability (or reduced variability) are estimated within a linear utility functional form, which assumes risk-neutral attitudes for decision makers. ...Open AccessWorking Paper -

Multimodal pricing and optimal design of urban public transport: the interplay between traffic congestion and bus crowding
Hensher, David A.; Tirachini, Alejandro; Rose, John MPublished 2014-01-01The interplay between congestion and crowding externalities in the design of urban bus systems is identified and analysed. A multimodal social welfare maximisation model with spatially disaggregated demand is developed, ...Open AccessArticle -
Multimodal pricing and the optimal design of bus services: new elements and extensions
Tirachini, AlejandroPublished 2012-07-06This thesis analyses the pricing and design of urban transport systems; in particular the optimal design and efficient operation of bus services and the pricing of urban transport. Five main topics are addressed: (i) the ...Open AccessThesis
