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...

Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The rationale for the definition of a set of paths referred to as “hyperpath” is that some uncertainty (for example waiting time) means that the choice of a specific option is not being pre-determined. Rather the choice process is assumed to occur on... Read More about Seat capacity and hyperpath choice on-board: alight or remain seated?.
