Investigating travel and user characteristics of toll roads : Travel survey of the central Florida expressway system Abdelwahab, Hassan T ; Abdel-Aty, Mohamed A
Utgivningsinformation: Transportation Research Record, 2002Beskrivning: nr 1807, s. 43-50Ämnen: Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1807Location: Abstrakt: The differences between E-Pass (an electronic toll collection device) users and non-E-Pass users are examined based on an extensive travel survey of users of central Florida's expressway system. The survey was designed to capture travel patterns of expressway users. A statistical comparison was conducted between the E-Pass and non-E-Pass users by age, occupation, household income, vehicle occupancy, trip distance, trip purpose, and trip time. Results of the comparison indicated significant differences between the two groups. A log-linear model was developed to understand the effect of trip-maker characteristics on E-Pass use. Results indicated that the odds of using E-Pass are small for young users (16 to 25 years old). The odds of choosing the E-Pass system increase with income; professionals have higher odds of being E-Pass users. Also, a bivariate probit model was developed to understand the interdependence between the use of E-Pass and vehicle occupancy. Results indicated that time of day, day of week, E-Pass use, trip purpose, and trip distance affect vehicle occupancy.Aktuellt bibliotek | Status | |
