Impact of high occupancy vehicle lanes on carpooling behavior

How Exposure to ”Role Model” Projects Can Lead to Decisions for More Sustainable Infrastructure

“…For example, even after two decades, the presence of high occupancy vehicle lanes in Atlanta, U.S. has had little noticeable effect on congestion and driver behavior, particularly in willingness to carpool [8][9][10]. Infrastructure projects that do not achieve intended goals drain financial resources and erode public willingness to invest in infrastructure.…”

Never drive alone: Boosting carpooling with network analysis

“…Ref. [5] shows that there is no increase in ridesharing related with the introduction of new HOV lanes, despite the carpooling rate among commuters increases in some periods. Others, like [3,6], consider tolls related with HOV and how these can influence their use.…”

“…Carpooling received wide attention in the theoretical literature, mainly regarding high occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV) [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Refs.…”

Organisation des pratiques de covoiturage entre inconnus dans les territoires

“…Ces voies réservées aux covoitureurs sont utilisées pour gérer les pics d'affluences routiers dans les aires métropolitaines (Giuliano et al 1990). Dans certains Etats elles sont également accessibles aux bus et minibus.…”

“…Ils ont fait l'objet d'étude d'impact notamment aux Etats-Unis qui démontrent que la présence de HOV Lanes incite les automobilistes à pratiquer le covoiturage (Giuliano et al, 1990). Néanmoins, leurs effets sur la réduction de la congestion restent limités (Kwon et Varaiya, 2008).…”
