The flexibility of departure times for work trips
Abstract We examine the flexibility of departure times for the journey to work making use of data gathered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Measured travel time peaking is pronounced for trips into the Pittsburgh Central Business District, although the variation in travel timeis low for a particular route, mode and departure time. Estimation of a logit model of simultaneous mode and departure time interval choice is reported. Departure time decisions are found to be much more flexible (elastic) than are mode choices. Some implications for dynamic or time dependent transportation system management strategies are considered.
