Prospect theoretic hypotheses about the value function are considered in context of morning commutes. After a review formulations utility functions past analyses commuter departure time choice, this study adopts formulation where desirability an arrival at work is determined based on decision frames defined terms reference points. Probit models applied to data collected from randomly selected commuters bedroom community Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area Japan, order estimate empirically....

Motorization in terms of passenger cars 14 Asian countries and motorcycles three metropolitan areas are analyzed this study. Using country-based data which cover 20 years (1980–2000), a linear regression is conducted by panel estimation with random fixed effects. As result from the model, income elasticity for region was found to be 1.75. Fixed effect estimated separately each country characterizes motorization pace countries. Two groups were detected significant difference paces—Sri Lanka,...

Empirical observations were carried out using a six-week travel survey, Mobidrive, in order to probe into the optimal duration problem of single wave survey. The regressions on certain elements (i.e., number daily trips, VKM per day, home based trip chains, time expenditure) suggest that two-week survey might serve well represent personal variability various dimensions. However further analysis by nonparametric survival points longer period as elapsed between activity participation does not...

The aim of this study is to assess the effects incentives, in form toll reductions, introduced entice commuters use a expressway. Two market segments were targeted: everyday users, for whom intended effect reduce peak-hour congestion by spreading entrances expressways off-peak hours, and low-frequency increase their expressway over surface streets or public transit. To evaluate effectiveness an experiment was conducted on Osaka, Japan, which participants received reduction at each use....

Kentsel ulaşım, enerji tüketiminin giderek artan bir öğesidir.Arabalaşma, kentsel yayılma ve yetersiz toplu taşıma, tüketimini artırmanın yanında verimliliğini de olumsuz etkilemektedir.Bu çalışmada ulaşımda verimliliğine etki eden faktörleri, dünyanın değişik bölgelerindeki 75 kente ait veriler ile Stokastik Sınır Regresyon Modeli kullanarak belirlemeye çalıştık.Genel olarak yoğunluk hem özel taşımada artırmaktadır

Recently, metropolitan public transit sector in Turkey has witnessed a surge urban rail projects. Accordingly, suburban railways, metro or light railways have become the main focus of investment transit. Enactment Law No. 6360, which expands powers and responsibilities municipality to its provincial boundaries, increased prospects systems. In fact, lines, especially Istanbul, Ankara Izmir, had long been providing regional services Turkey. However, slow speeds, infrequent arrival, generally...

We investigate the applicability of prospect theory in context morning commutes. extend analysis adopted our previous study to account for both observed and unobserved heterogeneity across commuters. Two decision frames with multiple reference points a maximum satisfaction point (preferred arrival time, PAT) are assumed exist One involves quasigain region where commuters value gains as if they losses. This frame is fully compatible theory, while other yielded results which incompatible case losses

There exist some limitations when applying macro-level data to measure social capacity for environmental management. Especially, such cannot properly the quality of This paper attempts indicators civil society based on an attitudinal survey, which is designed with help concepts Good Urban Governance and Service Quality. A case study conducted in Beijing finds that citizens perceive capacities government, firms interact each other. It also confirmed has largest influence people’s health,...

Yerleşmelerin Değişen Özellikleri Üzerinden İzmir Modeli’nin Yorumlanması

Considering the increased number of vehicles every day, parking supplies should meet demands on transportation infrastructure. Irregular construction and excessive population growth in urban areas required re-planning site selection places. In this study, an analysis algorithm was developed to determine location-based demand by using Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. After calculating supply balance, location-allocation techniques network were implemented best locations...

Mevcut çalışma Türkiye’nin son dönemde girmiş olduğu otomobilleşme sürecini iller bazında incelemektedir. Bu otomobilleşme, geçmiş dönemlerde olan arz ve talep kısıtlarından sıyrılmıştır. Üretim kapasitesi artmış, ithalat rejimi kolaylaşmış, otomobil fiyatları da önemli ölçüde düşmüştür. Hane halkı gelirindeki artış piyasasını tarafında esnetmiştir. Dolayısıyla popülerleşme istidadındadır. Özellikle ortalama gelir seviyesi görece düşük orta illerde hız kazanarak Türkiye geneline yayılmıştır....
