“…Studies from the last decade show that perceived fairness relates to the acceptability of road pricing schemes and that the findings are replicated across countries in Europe, United States and Asia (Viegas, 2001;Fujii et al, 2004;Cools et al, 2011;Di Ciommo et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2013). A recent study in Scandinavia found fairness relevant to the implementation of safety policy measures (Eriksson and Bjørnskau, 2012).…”

Theory of planned behavior Structural equation models a b s t r a c tThis study investigates the effect of price and travel mode fairness and spatial equity in transit provision on the perceived transit service quality, willingness to pay, and habitual frequency of use. Based on the theory of planned behavior, we developed a web-based questionnaire for revealed preferences data collection. The survey was administered among young people in Copenhagen and Lisbon to explore the transit perceptions and use under different economic and transit provision conditions. The survey yielded 499 questionnaires, analyzed by means of structural equation models. Results show that higher perceived fairness relates positively to higher perceived quality of transit service and higher perceived ease of paying for transit use. Higher perceived spatial equity in service provision is associated with higher perceived service quality. Higher perceived service quality relates to higher perceived ease of payment, which links to higher frequency of transit use.

“…One such a scheme is the tradable credit scheme (Verhoef et al 1997;Viegas 2001;Yang and Wang 2011;Wu et al 2012;Nie and Yin 2013) and another is the tradable permit system (Akamatsu 2007;Wada and Akamatsu 2013). In tradable mobility credit scheme, the government sets a predetermined congestion reduction goal and tries to achieve it by creating a market for mobility credits.…”

“…Analysis of travel behavior under a novel transportation system is also important because such behavior usually varies across users. To achieve policy goals, which means efficient use of transportation system, without monitoring the private value that users placed upon their time or upon transportation services, the tradable credit scheme model has been proposed (Verhoef et al 1997;Viegas 2001;Yang and Wang 2011;Wu et al 2012;Nie and Yin 2013). According to this scheme, credits were distributed by the government and users were then required to pay a certain number of credits to use transportation services and facilities.…”

Analysis of dynamic decision-making in a bicycle-sharing auction using a dynamic discrete choice model

For clarifying the usefulness and practical issues of a tradable permit system empirically, we implemented a tradable permit system for a bicycle-sharing service in Yokohama city, Japan. We analyzed both travel and transaction behavior within this system. Many activity factors, such as the amount of free time in each day, home location and travel mode to the bicycle port, were shown to affect the transaction of tradable permits. The results of the pilot program indicated that inefficient allocation of tradable permits occurred when participants postponed their decision-making because of uncertainty. To determine the reason for this effect and the contributing factors, we created a dynamic discrete choice model to describe the choice results and timing. The estimation result indicated that the option value of postponing decision-making caused the transactions to be performed at the last minute, and that this effect blocked the liquidity of the permits trade. In addition, because the result reveals that there was heterogeneity in the time discount factor, the initial allocation of permits was found to be important for efficient allocation.

“…Currently, a growing number of researchers and policy-makers identify Tradable Credits (TC) as a promising powerful and innovative alternative (e.g. Raux, 2004;Verhoef, Nijkamp, & Rietveld, 1997;Viegas, 2001).…”

“…The first domain includes studies that propose and conceptually discuss transport-tailored TC schemes in terms of scheme design, implementation and credit distribution (e.g. Goddard, 1999;Raux, 2004;Raux & Marlot, 2005;Viegas, 2001;Wadud, Noland, & Graham, 2008). A second set of studies takes a mathematical programming approach, studying user equilibrium and market equilibrium in the context of traffic flows and credit price under different assumptions, for example fixed/elastic demand, homogeneous/heterogeneous travellers, different initial credit allocations (e.g.…”

Tradable credits for managing car travel: a review of empirical research and relevant behavioural approaches

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Recently, there has been a surge of interest in Tradable Credits (TC) as an alternative measure to manage the growth of personal car use. This paper summarises the results and methodologies of studies that have sought to anticipate the behavioural responses to several proposed TC schemes that target personal travel. In a critical reflection on this work and in an attempt to inspire future research, we argue that future empirical studies on TC behaviours can greatly benefit from insights from the fields of behavioural economics and cognitive psychology. Therefore, in the second part of the paper, we bring together behavioural concepts from these fields that are relevant in a TC decision-making context. Based on observations from current TC studies and the behavioural mechanisms identified in the second part of the paper, we propose promising directions for future research on understanding the impact of TC on personal car travel.
