Assessing pedestrian exposure to fine particulates at fine levels of spatio-temporal resolution
Published 2007-05-01A compelling body of international evidence now exists suggesting a causal link between exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) and adverse health consequences. Travel microenvironments have come under particular ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Behavioural responses of freight transporters and shippers to road user charging schemes: An empirical assessment
Published 2007-09-01Heavy goods vehicles not only have a non-marginal impact on the performance of the road network in terms of traffic congestion, exposure to risk and accidents, they also provide an essential service in the distribution ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Beyond the supply chain: An operations response system as an efficient means of implementing a “customercentric” market response
Published 2007-11-01Supply chain management would appear to be at the end of its lifecycle. Customers of all types are expressing preferences based upon some degree of product-service differentiation and not simply on cost. The growing interest ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Climate Change, Enhanced Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Passenger Transport – What can we do to make a difference?
Published 2007-05-01Climate change, global warming and enhanced greenhouse gas emissions (GGEs) are hot topics for many reasons, including scientific and speculative. The transportation sector, led by the automobile, has been cited constantly ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Combining RP and SP data: Biases in using the nested logit ‘trick’ – contrasts with flexible mixed logit incorporating panel and scale effects
Published 2007-09-01It has become popular practice that joint estimation of choice models that use stated preference (SP) and revealed preference (RP) data requires a way of adjusting for scale to ensure that parameter estimates across data ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
The dark side of making transit irresistible: The example of France
Published 2007-05-01The French experience in developing policies to reduce car use in metropolitan areas is presented in this paper as an illustration of the lack of recognition of the broader set of criteria on which specific policy frameworks ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Daytime Population Tracking for Planning and Pollution Exposure Assessment
Published 2007-03-01Knowing more precisely where people are across the day and when they are there is fundamental information for many fields including transportation planning, environmental impact analysis, marketing and emergency evacuation. ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Evacuation plan evaluation: Assessment of vehicular evacuation schemes by means of an analytical dynamic traffic model
Published 2007-10-01An evacuation model is posed, combining a dynamic travel demand component, an adaptive travel choice behaviour component, and a dynamic network loading component. The travel demand component considers the primary choice ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Extending stated choice analysis to recognise agentspecific attribute endogeneity in bilateral group negotiation and choice: A think piece
Published 2007-03-01This paper is a think piece on variations in the structure of stated preference studies when modelling the joint preferences of interacting agents who have the power to influence the attribute levels on offer. The approach ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
The implications of interactions theory and application for value chain management
Published 2007-11-01As organisation structures become flexible in the response to market opportunities it is interesting to probe the underlying reasons that have facilitated these developments. It is not the just attraction of low capital ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Joint estimation of process and outcome in choice experiments involving attribute framing
Published 2007-03-01There is a growing interest and recognition that the study of discrete choice outcomes should take into account the process rules that are used to establish eligibility of each attribute. This applies to both revealed ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
A mixed generalized ordered response model for examining pedestrian and bicyclist injury severity level in traffic crashes
Published 2007-08-01This paper proposes an econometric structure for injury severity analysis at the level of individual accidents that recognizes the ordinal nature of the categories in which injury severity are recorded, while also allowing ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
The multiple discretecontinuous extreme value (MDCEV) model: Role of utility function parameters, identification considerations, and model extensions
Published 2007-11-01Many consumer choice situations are characterized by the simultaneous demand for multiple alternatives that are imperfect substitutes for one another. A simple and parsimonious Multiple Discrete-Continuous Extreme Value ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
