Do transportation systems, comprising infrastructure, service, and use, produce external benefits? If they do, should positive externalities be accounted for in the evaluation of infrastructure investments? This paper argues that while direct, technological, external benefits from transportation are difficult to find, meaningful positive externalit

With a detailed model of the cost of motor vehicle noise in the United States in 1990, it is estimated that the external damage cost of this noise could range from as little as $100 million per year to as much as $40 billion per year, although it is believed that the cost is not likely to exceed $5 billion (1991$); the base estimate is $3 billion.

This paper reports on methods used to correct nonresponse for daily mobility in the French National Personal Transportation Surveys. A two-stage technique was used for unit nonresponse: 1) post-stratification according to the households' characteristics related to response behavior; and 2) correction for sampling error by calibration on margins. Im

This study compares the travel patterns of three different groups of workers identified in the 1991 Caltrans Statewide Travel Survey: home based business (HBB) workers, home based telecommuters (HBT), and non-home based (NHB) workers. HBB workers have the highest average daily trip rate of the three groups, while rates for HBTs and NHB workers are

Truck annual average daily traffic estimation errors resulting from sample classification counts are computed in this paper under two scenarios. One scenario investigates an improper factoring procedure that may be used by highway agencies. The study results show consistent and substantial overestimates of truck traffic when truck counts are estima

Many studies of the local economic impacts of individual highway projects rely on overly narrow measures of economic benefits. Another type of research, focusing on economic productivity, defines benefits more broadly but is also limited by geographic and functional aggregation constraints. This paper attempts to bridge these two perspectives, desc

This research estimates the transport-related business interruption impacts of the 1994 Northridge earthquake using a spatial allocation model, SCPM (the Southern California Planning Model) and surveys of businesses and individuals. Total business interruption losses are estimated at more than $6.5 billion, sizeable but much smaller than total stru

The Northridge earthquake provided a unique opportunity to examine travel behavior responses to a major emergency. We examine travel patterns in two heavily damaged transportation corridors to determine how trip patterns changed over the recovery period. Our research evaluates the behavioral response to changing transportation supply conditions and

The 1994 Northridge earthquake disrupted goods movement on four major highway routes in Southern California. This paper examines the impacts of the earthquake on Los Angeles County trucking firms, and finds that the impact was initially widespread but relatively short-lived. Congestion delay and circuitous routing were the most common impacts. Rero

This study explores how the mass media covered transportation issues following the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The mass media were a vital channel for travel information, and they provided considerable information to the public about the safety of travel, alternative routes, and new travel modes. Using a methodology known as content analysis, it wa

The 1994 Northridge earthquake damaged four major freeways in the Los Angeles area. Southern California firms were surveyed to assess the role that these transportation disruptions played in business losses. Of the firms that reported any earthquake loss, 43% stated that some portion of their business loss was due to transportation damage. For the
