Abstract

Presents results from a project whose objectives were: To determine the strategic reactions of freight road users to variability in trunk road travel times resulting from planned and unplanned events affecting preferred routes; To identify the willingness to pay of freight road users to mitigate such variability, for example via road usage tolls, and to investigate whether the above reactions and willingness to pay vary significantly between Just-in-Time (J. I. T.) and non-J. I. T. respondents. The results in this report are presented as one-dimensional splits, and show that valuations were at least twice as high for J. I. T. respondents than for non-J. I. T. respondents.
