Determine VTTS for the German Federal transport infrastructure planning

Abstract

short In the course of compiling Germany’s new Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan in 2015 the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development intents to carry out CBAs for several infrastructure projects. On this account the valuation for travel time saving (VTTS) and travel time reliability (VOR) are redetermined. On the basis of collected RP data, a SP questionnaire is designed. Beside experiments concerning mode choice, route choice and departure time, long term decision are taken into consideration as well. Likewise business traffic should be given particular attention in the future, emphasising on the effect of travel time on companies mode choice decisions. The collected data is analysed with discrete choice methods.
