A model of bus bunching under reliability-based passenger arrival patterns (2015)
Journal Article

If bus service departure times are not completely unknown to the passengers, non-uniform passenger arrival patterns can be expected. We propose that passengers decide their arrival time at stops based on a continuous logit model that considers the ri...

Fonzone, A., Schmoecker, J., Ma, J., & Fukuda, D. (2012). Link-based route choice considering risk aversion, disappointment and regret. In 91st Annual TRB Meeting online

In networks with uncertain link travel times route guidance information should consider traveller preferences (1). Risk-averse travellers prefer safer options but might feel unsatisfied if it turns out that their decision has been based on wrong expe...
