Stochastic social optimum traffic assignment (2005)
Journal Article
Maher, M., Stewart, K., & Rosa, A. (2005). Stochastic social optimum traffic assignment. Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 39(8), 753-767. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trb.2004.10.001

This paper formulates a Stochastic Social Optimum (SSO) that relates to the Stochastic User Equilibrium (SUE) in the same way as the Social Optimum (SO) relates to the User Equilibrium (UE) in a deterministic environment. At the SSO solution, the tot... Read More about Stochastic social optimum traffic assignment.

Theoretical a... Read More about Road user charging: Theory and practice.

Effect of attribute perceptions on mode choice behavior in a transit market. (2005)
Journal Article
Wan, Q., & Lo, H. K. (2005). Effect of attribute perceptions on mode choice behavior in a transit market. Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, 6, 1740-1750. https://doi.org/10.11175/easts.6.1740

Random utility models are often used to model traveler mode choice behavior in the demand analysis of a transit system. Transit operators might base their policy and operations planning on these estimates. The choice probability of these models is ex...

Road user charging has long been advocated as a means of dealing with congestion in urban areas. Numerous schemes have been proposed but have advanced little beyond the drawing board. This paper draws on the experiences of two such road user charging... Read More about Implementing Road User Charging: The Lessons Learnt from Hong Kong, Cambridge and Central London.
