Impact of major road supply on individual travel time expenditure
(2017)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThis study estimates the impact of major road supply on individual travel time expenditure (TTE) using data on 30-year changes in transportation infrastructure and travel behavior. The impact observed shortly after the improvement to the road infrastructure is estimated from a data set that combines records on large-scale household travel surveys in the Tokyo metropolitan area conducted in 1978, 1988, 1998, and 2008. Linear and Tobit ...Working Paper -
Factbook Education System: United Kingdom
(2017)KOF Education System FactbooksThe Factbook is structured as follows: First, we provide an overview of the United Kingdom’s economy, labour market, and political system. The second part is dedicated to the description of the formal education system. The third section explains the United Kingdom’s vocational education system. The last section offers a perspective on the United Kingdom’s recent education reforms and challenges to be faced in the future.Report -
Direct and indirect effects of new high speed rail service: An empirical analysis using Japanese mobile phone location data
(2017)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThe development of high-speed rail (HSR) is expected to significantly change the long- distance travel structure and transportation patterns. The changes are expected to be not only the increase in the number of tourists who use HSR service (direct effect), but also the change in the regional travel structures by encouraging the growth of several zones as network hubs (indirect effect). In this paper, a methodology to understand the change ...Working Paper -

Mean speed prediction with endogenous volume and spatial autocorrelation
(2017)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungIn the present paper a modeling approach to address the issue of mean speed prediction on a large scale network is presented. Methodologically, we exploit the family of spatial regression models to treat both for the spatial dependence and the endogeneity aspect between speed and volume. The estimation of the model takes place by means of a 2-step instrumental variables- generalized method of moments estimator, allowing us to obtain ...Working Paper -
A dynamic macroscopic parking pricing and decision model
(2017)SVT Working PapersResponsive pricing has been gaining attention in recent research, but its interdependency with searching-for-parking traffic remains still unclear. In this paper, a dynamic macroscopic parking pricing model is developed to maximize the revenue for a city, while simultaneously minimizing the total cruising time on the network. The methodology proposes new parking pricing formulations, and embeds them into a dynamic macroscopic urban traffic ...Working Paper -
Introducing a re-sampling methodology for the estimation of empirical macroscopic fundamental diagrams
(2017)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThe uncertainty in the estimation of the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) under real- world traffic conditions and urban dynamics, might result in an inaccurate estimation of the MFD parameters - especially if congestion is rarely observed network-wide. For example, if the observed data does not exhibit a distinct congested branch, it is hard to determine the network capacity and critical density. Similarly, as the data normally comes ...Working Paper -
