Participants (N = 198) completed questionnaire measures of TPB variables, plus moral norm and anticipated regret, each with respect to 11 different driving violations. One month later, subsequent behavioural performance was measured, again using self-completion questionnaires. Statistical simulations indicated substantial capacity within the extended TPB to reduce driving violations, with maximum changes to all of the cognitive predictors generating large degrees of intention and behaviour change (i.e. d > 0.80). However, the degree of intention change that was generated was greater than the degree of behaviour change, and sensitivity analyses demonstrated that behavioural interventions need to successfully change multiple cognitive variables in order to achieve meaningful reductions in driving violations. Implications of the findings for developing behaviour change interventions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"31 1","pages":"321 - 343"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128602.2010.502548","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown how regret theory, being one of the most popular contenders of expected utility theory throughout the social sciences, can be applied to model risky route choices by means of an expected modified utility function. Subsequently this function is used to study numerically how risk aversion and regret aversion jointly determine equilibrium outcomes in a simple binary route choice situation. It is found that increasing levels of regret aversion lead to equilibrium shifts towards routes whose mean travel time is low, routes that are less risky and especially routes whose worst-case travel time is low compared to that of the competing route. Furthermore, risk aversion and regret aversion are found to reinforce each other's impact on equilibrium towards a situation where safer routes are preferred over riskier (but faster) ones.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"8 1","pages":"291 - 305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128602.2010.498391","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given previous models, the focus is on the most important factor: first-in first-out (FIFO) effects. According to the number of lanes, current models assume either a perfectly FIFO traffic or a perfectly non-FIFO traffic. Although we assume a single-flow highway traffic model, the improvement takes into account lane changes close to merges and diverges. Thus the traffic is neither perfectly FIFO nor perfectly non-FIFO and so outflows at junctions depend considerably on junction topology, traffic distribution in lanes and driver behaviour. As a consequence, this article suggests a simple improvement of the description of merges and diverges which takes into account some of these factors. With respect to the previous models, the best improvement concerns the outflow forecasting on an uncongested exit of a diverge when the other exit is congested.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"8 1","pages":"243 - 260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128601003752452","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two variational inequality (VI) models are first proposed for the SUE problem and then existence and uniqueness of their solutions are examined. These two VI models are, in reality, built by means of a probit-based stochastic network loading (SNL) map. Since there is no computational procedure available for calculating the SNL map, we thus propose a two-stage Monte Carlo simulation-based method to estimate the SNL map. To compromise computational time with accuracy in the estimation, a lower bound of sample size required by the Monte Carlo simulation is also investigated. Based on these two VI models and Monte Carlo simulation-based method, we design two hybrid prediction–correction (PC) — cost averaging (CA) algorithms for solving the SUE problem. Finally, two numerical examples are carried out to assess performance of the proposed algorithms.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"8 1","pages":"261 - 290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128601003736026","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the 2001 Census of Canada, multilevel multinomial logistic regression models were estimated to assess the personal, social and economic factors that affect travel mode use of low-income persons in their journey to work in urban areas in Ontario and Quebec. The findings show important differences in the factors associated with car driving and public transit, between genders, and according to income level, educational achievement, household structure and immigration status. Furthermore, it is found that significant factors affecting travel mode use among low-income people in various urban areas are differentiated by province. The results point towards a geographic-based and balanced promotion of public and private mobility programmes and policies to address transport needs of low-income workers.","PeriodicalId":49416,"journal":{"name":"Transportmetrica","volume":"21 4 1","pages":"157 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18128602.2010.539413","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59925655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show a satisfactory improvement in the goodness-of-fit of the decision tree model compared to the null model. Gender still plays a role. A descriptive analysis indicates that men, more often than women, get the car for non-work tours for which a car allocation decision needs to be made.

Overall, men exert more influence on the car allocation decision for non-work tours, as indicated by the number of influential variables that relate to males.
