Value of travel time reliability: A review of current evidence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Travel time reliability is a fundamental factor in travel behavior. It represents the temporal uncertainty experienced by travelers in their movement between any two nodes in a network. The importance of the time reliability depends on the penalties incurred by the travelers. In road networks, travelers consider the existence of a trip travel time uncertainty in different choice situations (departure time, route, mode, and others). In this paper, a systematic review of the current state of research in travel time reliability, and more explicitly in the value of travel time reliability is presented. Moreover, a meta-analysis is performed in order to determine the reasons behind the discrepancy among the reliability estimates. 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملValue of Travel Time :Theoretical and Empirical Method
The value of travel time savings (VTTS) is the monetary value attached to save a determined amount of travel time. VTTS is also the most important benefit category aimed at justifying investments in transport infrastructures by public administrations. Hence VTTS played a significant role in various economic studies, both analytical and empirical (Zamparini & Reggiani, 2007). "It is difficult to...

متن کاملInvestigation of parameters affecting the travel time at tramway systems: the case of Athens, Greece
Within the framework of this paper, various parameters that might affect the efficiency and the reliability of a tramway system are examined. Two linear regression models are built in order to investigate the way these parameters are affecting the commercial speed and the travel time deviation, respectively. The case study is the tramway of Athens which operates since the 2004 Olympic Games. Al...
