Random regret minimisation and random utility maximisation in the presence of preference heterogeneity: An empirical contrast
Published 2015-04-01Random regret minimisation (RRM) interpretations of discrete choices are growing in popularity as a complementary modelling paradigm to random utility maximisation (RUM). While behaviourally very appealing in the sense of ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
A simplified and practical alternative way to recognise the role of household characteristics in determining an individual’s preferences: the case of automobile choice
Published 2015-05-01It is common practice in choice modelling to include the socioeconomic characteristics of other members of a household in the utility expressions associated with the preferences of a particular individual. By including ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Speeding in urban environments: Are the time savings worth the risk?
Published 2015-05-01Perceived time savings by travelling faster is often cited as a motivation for drivers’ speeding behaviour. These time savings, however, come at a cost of significant road injuries and fatalities. While it is known that ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
