Title:
An Analysis of the Worst Commuting Days in Washington, DC (June 1, 2000 to May 31, 2001)
Abstract:
This report explores how much benefit pre-trip traveler information provides on some of the worst commuting days in Washington, DC. It analyzes the impacts on a commuter who does not utilize traveler information services, and examines what would have happened to his commute if he had made use of a notification-based pre-trip traveler information service on those days. The worst days were determined as those that had high travel times, travel disutility cost, travel-expenditure, late and early schedule delays, and poor on-time reliability and just-in-time reliability. When possible, contributing factors that made the days the worst with respect to a particular measure were identified from data on incidents, weather and high-demand.
