  1. Car ownership

  2. Why? • Market research: if you are a vehiclemanufacturer • Public policy: howmuchinfrastructure, transport planning, land useplanning, obviousessential input to traveldemandmodels, equity, sustainability • Planning on a very high level (national, and regional level), butalso in detailedplanning (block level)

  3. Two different approaches • Time series analysis (eitherveryaggregate, or segmented population) + low data requirements - limitedscope • Disaggretagemodels of householdbehaviour + can be applied for many different research questions - high data requirements

  4. Car ownershipversus GDP per capita26 countries 1960-1992 Dargay and Gately (1999)

  5. Cars and economicgrowth in Sweden – over time

  6. Plot! Let’s try a quadraticmodel….

  7. Easily modelled:

  8. Next, maybeprice on gasoline is important?

  9. Improve the model

  10. Another improvement • A separate model for segments of the population, in particularcohorts

  11. Factors relevant for carownership?

  12. Gompertzmodel(Dargay and Gately, 2001) Cars per capita

  13. Example

  14. Projections…

  15. Letuspause • What are the assumptionsbehindtheseprojections?

  16. Letuspause Whataboutattitudinalchange? Whatabouttechnologicalchange? • Alternative fueltypes • Self-driving cars …. • Cars as public transportation

  17. Cars as public transportation? Electronicalcoupling V2V, V2I, I2V Fleet management, systems optimum withinreach Land use: suppose that cars can be parked anywhere Whathappens with land use?

  18. Take-awayscarownership For which policy questionsdoweneed to forecastcarownership? Explain. Time series modelling on aggregate data Which variables have the highestexplanatory power? (whatexplainscarownership?) Whatassumptions are beingmade for forecasting? Compareaggregate time series models with disaggragatemodel of householdbehavior

  19. Departure time choice and travel time uncertainty(11.5)

  20. Travel is deriveddemand … so is alsodeparture time choice Two different views (depending on context) • Preferreddeparture time or • Preferredarrival time (PAT)

  21. Simple SchedulingModel • Schedule DelayEarly (SDE) • Schedule Delay Late (SDL) Slope 2.5 0.5 Slope 0.60 Early Late

  22. Travel time uncertainty

  23. Value of travel time Travel time is a number Wemayvalue different aspects, such as Waiting time In-vehicletravel time Butthese are numbers, finite dimensional At the most, a vector It is ”easy” to communicate, ”the value of 1 minuteshortertravel time is 5 SEK”.

  24. Value of travel time reliability What is the value of this? Standard deviation Variance Whataboutskewness?

  25. Simple SchedulingModel • Important for travel time uncertainty Slope 2.5 0.5 Slope 0.60 Early Late

  26. Value of travel time reliability and scheduling It has beenshown that the value of travel time reliabilitycan be captured by standard deviation or variance, in the case of different schedulingmodels Empiricalevidence suggests that there are morethanscheduling: penalty for being late per se, and the tail of the distribution matters

  27. Bottleneck (11.5.3) destination origin

  28. Bottleneck t

  29. Exercise In the urban road networkduring morning peak hour, is the congestiondue to A. Volume-delayrelationships (rememberassignment) or B. Bottleneck? C. Or is this a trick question?

  30. Take-awaysdeparture time and scheduling Explain a simple schedulingmodel Relation to departure time choice … and valuation of travel time uncertainty Explain the simple bottleneckmodel and it relevance to urban congestion
