“…Some empirical studies have specifically addressed the non-constancy of value of time, e.g., Calfee and Winston [4] Brownstone et al [2], and others. Their estimates are based on discrete choice analysis, e.g., Small and Rosen [12] and Anderson et al [1].…”

Under an exogenous working time assumption, the value of time cannot be constant: it is affected by travel time, travel fees and other exogenous factors. Our numerical simulations, assuming a nested C.E.S. form of the utility function, show that the change in value of time tends to be sensitive to travel time and slightly sensitive to travel fees. Based on the change in value of time, the influences of changes in travel time and travel fees on the number of visits can differ greatly even if those changes are equivalent in terms of generalized transportation costs.

“…Most SP surveys have a similar structure as was used in presentation two where time is saved as a result of paying a fee, in most cases a toll, but in this case, a single use permit. Brownstone et al (2003) have noted that SP studies generally yield lower values than RP studies. Avoidance of paying additional fees for a public good that people believe they had already paid for in the form of taxes may explain this underestimate.…”

Value of Time for Commercial Vehicle Operators

Value of time was estimated for commercial vehicle operators in Minnesota to quantify the effects of spring load restrictions. A sample was constructed from several trucking industry sources to conduct a survey. Interviews were conducted using an adaptive stated preference (ASP) survey to derive an estimate to the nearest dollar. A tobit model was fit to the data from the interviews to derive the estimate for value of time, $49.42 per hour. Variation in the distribution of values is explained in part by fleet operation: whether the firm operates as a for-hire carrier or a private carrier.

“…Brownstone et al (2003) found that the choice of I-15 FasTrak (tolled trip) in San Diego was related to travel time savings and pricing. Golob, 2001 found that the choice of I-15 Express Lanes was related to the level of the perceived safety advantage of I-15 Express Lanes travel.…”

On the SR167 and I-25 HOT lanes, the exogenous factors like gas prices and economic recession seemed to influence the usage of the HOT lanes. In both the HOT Lanes, carpool usage was positively correlated to the gasoline prices. On I-25, the increasing unemployment rate coincided with the decreasing toll paying travelers. On SR 167 there were also indications of mode shifts among the transit, carpool and toll paying SOVs due to fluctuating gas prices. With declining gas prices, the transit and carpool usage went down while toll paying users increased.An inverse relationship between the convenience of access points and the safety perceived by the HOT lane users was found. For example, I-15 Express Lanes in Salt Lake City reduced the access points from unrestricted with the previous HOV lanes to limited with the Express Lanes.As a result, more predictable merging led to an increase in the perceived safety of the Express lanes as well as the speed of the corridor. On the other hand, some carpoolers mentioned not using the Express Lanes anymore because of access inconvenience. The access inconvenience was also mentioned by previous carpoolers in HOV lanes on I-95 as one of the reasons for not using the Express Lanes. These findings underscore the importance of outreach programs during the planning process of the HOT lanes to minimize the confusion among the previous users of the HOV lanes and spreading awareness among them regarding the increased safety benefits.
