“…Other studies have theoretically explored TDC schemes from a mathematical perspective by modelling traffic flows and times under different credit allocation and traveller assumptions (e.g., Yang and Wang, 2011;Nie, 2012;Xiao et al, 2013;Bao et al, 2014). However, until now, little effort has been made to investigate drivers' responses to TDC schemes at the individual level.…”

A B S T R A C TThere is increasing interest in the application of tradable credit schemes in the context of personal travel. To anticipate the short-term effects of a distance-based tradable driving credit (TDC) scheme, an innovative stated adaptation experiment has been conducted. Using an activity-based approach, Dutch participants who frequently commute by car could reschedule their car-based activities and alter the travel pattern they reported in an online travel diary for a full week. This paper presents the results of model estimations that describe the likelihood of changing car use and the number of kilometres driven in response to two TDC scenarios. Reductions were larger for those who experienced a loss under the measure compared to those who could expect a gain. Participants who worked more hours and who lived in non-urban areas showed lower car use reduction levels, whereas participants with middle incomes and who were 18-25 years old showed higher reduction levels. A car dependency measure was added to the models to assess how these effects are related to the availability of car use alternatives.

“…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. Nie, 2012;Wang, Gao, Xu, & Sun, 2014;Xiao, Qian, & Zhang, 2013;Yang & Wang, 2011). The third domain consists of studies that empirically investigate travel behaviour under TC schemes at the individual level.…”

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.
