Improving Our Understanding of How Highway Congestion and Price Affect Travel Demand (SHRP 2 Report S2-C04-RW-1)
|
|
Greetings!
Over the past 30 years, a large body of research has been carried out to better understand and predict how traveler behavior changes in response to fluctuations in traffic congestion and in the price of travel. The objective of SHRP 2 Project C04 (Improving Our Understanding of How Highway Congestion and Price Affect Travel Demand) was to synthesize that research to select the most important and well-founded behavioral hypotheses, and then to test those hypotheses statistically on data sets in the United States. The results are documented in the final report, which is intended for those who carry out or direct modeling into highway congestion and pricing policies, and for planners and decision makers who would like to gain a deeper technical appreciation and understanding of particular issues. An unabridged, unedited version of Chapter 3: Demand Model Specifications and Estimation Results is available electronically.
