New values of time and reliability in passenger transport in The Netherlands

摘要: Abstract We have established new values of time (VOTs) and travel reliability (VORs) for use in cost-benefit analysis (CBA) transport projects The Netherlands. This was the first national study Netherlands (and one world-wide) to investigate these topics empirically a joint framework. Stated preference (SP) questionnaires were designed interviewing travellers, where hypothetical alternatives described terms time, costs reliability, latter being presented respondents form five possible times having equal probability. For passenger transport, we collected interviews using an existing internet panel. Additional data collection recruitment done by asking travellers at petrol stations/service areas, parking garages, stations, bus stops, airports ports participate survey. One important conclusion is that SP survey members this panel leads substantially lower VOTs than with en-route recruitment, probably because self-selection bias estimated discrete choice models which differ between trips different levels, changes offered SP, observed characteristics (e.g. education, income, age, household composition). By latent class model, also account unobserved differences value repeated measurements/panel effects. reference ratios on 2011 sample only, but effect cost level, socio-economic attributes both 2009 samples.
