Abstract

Transportation networks are an indispensable component of everyday life in modern society. Disruption to the networks can make peoplesâ?? daily lives extremely difficult as well as seriously cripple economic productivity. In this paper, the authors develop network-based accessibility measures for assessing vulnerability of degradable transportation networks. The accessibility-based vulnerability measures explicitly consider the interaction between the disrupted network and the multi-dimensional travel responses of the network users. To model different dimensions of travel behavioral responses, a combined travel demand model formulated as a variational inequality problem is adopted to estimate the utility-based accessibility measure that is consistent with random utility theory. Numerical examples are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed network-based accessibility measures for assessing vulnerability of degradable transportation networks. The results indicate that the accessibility measures derived from the combined travel demand model are capable of measuring the consequences of both demand and supply changes in the network and have the flexibility to reflect the effects of different travel choice dimensions on the network vulnerability.

A Comment on 'Subsidisation of Urban Public Transport and the Mohring Effect'

Abstract

Van Reeven (2008) argues that the Mohring effect is not relevant to the determination of transit subsidies because a profit-maximising monopolist would supply frequencies that are the same as, or greater than, those that are socially optimal. We find that his results depend on the reduction or elimination of the effect of fares on demand, causing optimal prices to be indeterminate within broad ranges. Consequently, his model is an unsatisfactory tool for discussing subsidies in general, and the optimal combination of fare and frequency in particular.

Abstract

In recent decades, a major shift in the land use pattern has been observed in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. To understand and model the impact of these land use changes on transportation demand, this study aimed to determine the trip generation rates for six different land use categories adjacent to Mirpur Road in Dhaka. A total of 20 establishments consisting of six land use categories were selected for the collection of data on person trip rates and respective modal share by manual counts and intercept surveys. These data were used to develop vehicular trip generation rates for each land use category in passenger car equivalents as a uniform unit of comparison. Results showed that commercial and healthcare land uses had the highest average and peak-hour trip rates. There was also a significant variation in the share of eight transport mode categories among the trips generated by the land uses. The peak-hour trip generation rates of the study area were found to be different from the values established by the Institute of Transportation Engineers which corresponds to the fact that trip generation depends on a host of factors, such as surrounding land uses, modal share, the economic condition of a region, and so forth, rather than on a single factor inherent to the land use. The findings of this research can help to determine the trip generation impact of new establishments and consequently identify suitable locations to minimize the impact.

Transportation accessibility and multi-unit residential property rents - the case of rajshahi city, Bangladesh

Proceedings of the 94th annual meeting of the transportation research board

Abstract

Little appears to be known about how the capitalization of transport accessibility in South Asian housing markets, which typically differ from those in industrialized countries. This study starts addressing this gap by providing empirical evidence about the nature and the magnitude of the value of accessibility as reflected by property rents in Rajshahi City, Bangladesh. Results of the SARAR spatial hedonic model estimated on 558 observations collected via in-person interviews conducted in June of 2006 indicate that the rent of a multi-unit dwelling decreases by 0.021% for every 1% increase in network access distance (NAD) to the nearest major road, by 0.030% for a 1% increase in NAD to the nearest health care facility, and by 0.014% for a 1% increase in NAD to the nearest small industry employment area. Conversely, rents of multi-unit dwellings within 300 m of a wholesale market are 12.3% lower than those of otherwise similar properties. Surprisingly, whether access roads are paved or not is not statistically significant, probably because of the dominance of walking, rickshaws use, and biking and the rarity of personal cars. Likewise, proximity to bus stops and to train stations is not statistically significant, possibly because they only provide regional and national service. These results should be useful for crafting measures to fund transportation infrastructure in Southeast Asian cities like Rajshahi.

Tenant Riskiness, Contract Length, and the Term Structure of Commercial Leases

Abstract

This paper explores the connection between tenant riskiness, commercial lease length, and the term structure of lease contracts. Theory shows that the possibility of default on a long-term lease generates a risk/lease-length connection. The empirical work uses a large CompStak lease data set combined with tenant characteristics (including risk) from Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). Regressions show that lease length is inversely related to the D&B risk measures, as predicted, and that risky tenants pay a higher rent premium for long-term contracts than low-risk tenants. The presence of such tenants thus raises the slope of the term structure of commercial rents. This paper was accepted by Tomasz Piskorski, finance.
