The instructor then asks: How would the outputs of conventional four-step travel dema... Read More

In addition, the identification of specific factors (i.e., peak hours, nighttime hours, etc.) and their effects on average travel time and travel time variability are often unknown. The current study addresses these two issues through a travel time-based study on urban ... Read More
