Can transportation problems be fixed by the right neighborhood design? The tremendous popularity of the "new urbanism" and "livable communities" initiatives suggests that many persons think so. As a systematic assessment of attempts to solve transportation problems through urban design, this book asks and answers three questions: Can such efforts work? Will they be put into practice? Are they a good idea?

This book describes the new generation of discrete choice methods, focusing on the many advances that are made possible by simulation. Researchers use these statistical methods to examine the choices that consumers, households, firms, and other agents make. Each of the major models is covered: logit, generalized extreme value, or GEV (including nested and cross-nested logits), probit, and mixed logit, plus a variety of specifications that build on these basics. Simulation-assisted estimation procedures are investigated and compared, including maximum stimulated likelihood, method of simulated moments, and method of simulated scores. Procedures for drawing from densities are described, including variance reduction techniques such as anithetics and Halton draws. Recent advances in Bayesian procedures are explored, including the use of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and its variant Gibbs sampling. The second edition adds chapters on endogeneity and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. No other book incorporates all these fields, which have arisen in the past 25 years. The procedures are applicable in many fields, including energy, transportation, environmental studies, health, labor, and marketing.

Drivers receive value from traveler information in several ways, including the ability to save time, but perhaps more important is the value of certainty as it affects other personal, social, safety, or psychological factors. This information can be economically valued. The benefit of reduction in driver uncertainty when information is provided at the beginning of the trip is the main variable measured in this research. User preferences for routes were assessed as a function of the presence and accuracy of information while controlling for other trip and route attributes. Data were collected in a field experiment in which 113 drivers, given real-time travel time information with varying degrees of accuracy, drove four alternative routes between a preselected origin - destination pair in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, metropolitan area. Ordinary regression, multinomial, and rank-ordered logit models produced estimates of the value of information with some variation. Results showed that travelers were willing to pay up to $1 per trip for pre-trip travel-time information. The value of information is higher for commute and event trips and when congestion on the usual route is heavier. The accuracy of the traveler information was also a crucial factor. Travelers will not pay for information unless they perceive it to be accurate. Most travelers (70%) prefer that such information be provided free by the public sector, whereas some (19%) believe that it is better for the private sector to provide such service at a charge.

This volume gives an overview of the trends in Traffic and Transport Psychology. It reflects the considerable development of the most important factors for driving a road vehicle, and the variety of international research approaches. The first part contains basic approaches and integrated models as well as general theories and their implementation into Traffic and Transport Psychology. The second part deals with the driver, especially cognition, performance, social and differential effects and impairment. Important aspects are treated, such as speed perception, reaction times, interaction, risk acceptance, aggression and gender differences. Special chapters refer to performance and fatigue. The third part focuses on safety, driver support, selection and influencing drivers by enforcement, training and programs for the rehabilitation of traffic offenders. Classic ergonomic methods are discussed as well as modern telematic devices, or trends regarding driver-assessment. In the last part, current developments are presented in relation to better mobility and the protection of the environment. Questions are asked, such as whether we could reduce the use of cars, how travel behaviour can be modified or to what extent the use of alternatives to motor vehicles benefits safety as well as the environment. This work is not only important for psychologists. It should be read by all transport professionals interested in the application of psychology to traffic.

While the individual benefits of car-based travel continues to be recognized, the wider environmental and social cost of automobiles is also significant. This title evaluates the evidence for better understanding 'what drives us to drive'.
