Social Impacts of Transport: Literature Review and the State of the Practice of Transport Appraisal in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (2009, background): “There is a growing body of literature, which shows that travel time is experienced as something positive; some commuters seem to enjoy the commuting time in itself (e.g. Redmond and Mokhtarian, 2001; Jain and Lyons, 2008).”
ESTIMATION OF VALUE OF TRAVEL-TIME SAVINGS USING MIXED LOGIT MODELS (2005, background): “And it’s my decompression time.” (Sipress 1999, cited by Redmond & Mokhtarian 2001 ).”
Technology and Psychological Well-being: Commuting and well-being (2009, background): “Despite the widespread increase in traffic congestion and the associated intensification of travel impedance that we have portrayed, most individuals do want some commuting time, many are relatively satisfied with their commute, and a few actually prefer an increase (Redmond & Mokhtarian, 2001).”
The gift of travel time (2008, background): “People may, in some instances, seek out longer routes or accept longer journey times so that they have enough time to listen to music, relax or consider a work issue (see for example Bull 2000, Salomon and Mokhtarian, 1997, Redmond and Mokhtarian, 2001).”
Still Feeling the Car – The Role of Comfort in Sustaining Private Car Use (2015, background): “…al. (2008) and Laurier and Dant (2012), as well as the prolific works of Patricia Mokhtarian and colleagues who have explored and modelled the way people use travel time (see Mokhtarian, Salomon, and Redmond 2001; Mokhtarian and Salomon 2001; Redmond and Mokhtarian 2001; Mokhtarian and Chen 2004).”
Telecommunications and Travel: The Case for Complementarity (2002, background): “It appears that individuals are quite adept at adopting “travel-maintaining” strategies that reduce the disutility of travel (Mokhtarian, Raney and Salomon 1997; Salomon and Mokhtarian 1997) – or even at deriving positive utility from the travel itself, as well as from activities that can be conduct”
Value of Time by Time of Day: A Stated-Preference Study (2008, result): “Note that there is a priori reason for restricting either EWTP to be positive; a negative value would be consistent with findings reported by, inter alios , Redmond and Mokhtarian (2001) , on how travellers may sometimes attach a positive u tility to extra time spent in the car.”
How Derived is the Demand for Travel? Some Conceptual and Measurement Considerations (2001, background): “Further analysis of this variable is found in Redmond and Mokhtarian (1999) .”
From attitude to satisfaction: introducing the travel mode choice cycle (2021, unknown): “Studies of desire have mainly focused on desired travel amounts (Mokhtarian & Salomon, 2001; Redmond & Mokhtarian, 2001), although some studies analysed the desired use of a certain travel mode (e.g. public transport (Carrus, Passafaro, & Bonnes, 2008; De Vos, Waygood, & Letarte, 2020a)).”
Understanding the Demand for Travel: It's Not Purely 'Derived' (2001, methodology): “Estimated coefficients and t-statistics for each of the 11 models, plus their interpretations and other details of the analysis, are found in Redmond and Mokhtarian (2001b).”
