The economics and engineering of bus stops: Spacing, design and congestion
Published 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 -
Linking discrete choice to continuous demand within the framework of a computable general equilibrium model for the analysis of wider economic impacts of transport investment projects
Published 2012-01-01Discrete choice (DC) models are commonly used as basic building blocks in ‘bottom-up’ models which seek to describe consumer and producer behaviour at a disaggregate level, in contrast to continuous demand (CD) models which ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Crowding in public transport: A review of objective and subjective measures
Published 2012-09-01In order to capture the user benefits associated with reduced crowding from improved public transport (converted to dollars via willingness to pay estimates), it is necessary to identify the relevant dimensions of crowding ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Inferring attribute non-attendance from stated choice data: Implications for willingness to pay estimates and a warning for stated choice experiment design
Published 2012-02-01There is a growing interest in traveller behaviour research to explore alternative information processing strategies (often referred to as heuristics or rules) adopted by individuals when assessing packages of attributes ...Open AccessWorking Paper
