Research Abstract |
Measurement method of user benefit relevant to travel time reliability of railway service has not yet established. This research conducted a questionnaire survey to collect the data regarding behavior and consciousness of railway users in Tokyo Metropolitan area. In this study the following two necessitate models for measuring the user benefit were estimated by using the survey data. One is a model describing the departure time decision under travel time uncertainty. The other is a function measuring the willingness to pay for improving travel time reliability.
