The study takes place in the Metropolitan Transport Area of East London, South Africa, a coastal city with a population of 530 000 spread over an area of 210 km 2. Like Auckland, development of its transport network is severely constrained by physiographic conditions such as steep terrain and 4 large river valleys and environmental /social constraints. A questionnaire survey was undertaken to d...

Driver behavior under congestion pricing is analyzed in this study to evaluate the effects of alternative congestion pricing schemes. The analysis, which is based on stated-preference survey results, focuses on time allocation, departure time choice and route choice when a congestion pricing scheme is implemented on toll roads. A unique feature of the model system of this study is that departur...

In this paper we present a stochastic route choice model for transit networks that explicitly addresses route correlation due to overlapping alternatives. The model is based on a multi-objective mathematical programming problem, the optimality conditions of which generate an extension to the Multinomial Logit models. The proposed model considers a fixed point problem for treating correlations b...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of environmental correlates that are associated with route choice during active transportation to school (ATS) by comparing characteristics of actual walking and cycling routes between home and school with the shortest possible route to school. METHODS Children (n = 184; 86 boys, 98 girls; age range: 8-12 years) from seven ...
