Estimating the demand for drop-off recycling sites: A random utility travel cost approach

Random Utility-Based Discrete Choice Models for Travel Demand Analysis

Estimating Recreation Preferences Using Hedonic Travel Cost and Random Utility Models

Over the last decade, several authors have questioned the validity of the hedonic travel cost model, arguing instead that the random utility model is a superior method for valuing recreational site attributes. This paper demonstrates that the two methods emanate from a similar utility theoretic framework; yet in practice these methods differ in the assumptions made in their application. Constra...

Estimating the probability distribution of a travel demand forecast

We present a practical method for estimating the probability distribution of a travel demand forecast. Given a forecast of any variable of interest, such as revenue or ridership, the approach identifies independent sources of uncertainty, estimates a probability distribution of each source, estimates the sensitivity of the variable to each source, and then combines the effects. A case study is ...

Travel Cost Models of the Demand for Rock Climbing

In this paper we estimate the demand for rock climbing and calculate welfare measures for changing access to a number of climbs at a climbing area. In addition to the novel recreation application, we extend the travel cost methodology by combining the double hurdle count data model (DH) with a multinomial logit model of site-choice. The combined model allows us simultaneously to explain the dec...
