| Abstract | Urban congestion still represents one of the most relevant problems of the modern societies. According to The Forum of Municipalities (2008) within the Greater Copenhagen Area (GCA) the traffic volumes have increased the recent years by more than 10% annually. In addition, that study revealed that congestion in the GCA has caused the average speed to drop below 20 km/h on some parts of the road network, hence leading to more than 130.000 hours (i.e. 6 billion Danish Crowns, approximately 1 billion USD) wasted daily. Copenhagen, like many other cities, is facing road congestion problems. Among several factors that play a role in traffic congestion the departure time is the most important travel dimension. A number of studies have shown that people are more likely to change their departure time to address the problem of congestion rather than changing mode or even less change work and residential location. Although there are already evidences on departure time choices, as highlighted in Ortúzar et al. (Forthcoming), more research is still needed. |
