Understanding Transport Demands and Elasticities: How Prices and Other Factors Affect Travel Behavior (2012, background): “Some research supports the constant travel time budget hypothesis, which means the amount of time people devote to travel tends to remain constant (typically averaging 70-90 daily minutes), implying the elasticity of travel with respect to speed is 1.0 (Mokhtarian and Chen 2004).”
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).”
Is Average Daily Travel Time Expenditure Constant? In Search of Explanations for an Increase in Average Travel Time (2006, background): “In addition, depending on the underlying mechanisms, constant travel time budgets may jeopardise basic assumptions in conventional travel behaviour modelling (Mokhtarian and Chen, 2004).”
Long-term Transport Energy Demand and Climate Policy: Alternative Visions on Transport Decarbonization in Energy Economy Models (2014, background): “A stylized fact implemented by Yacov Zahavi in his “Unified Mechanism of Travel” model [42] and later discussed and refined by others [12], [43] states that across a wide variety of regions and cultures it is possible to find regularities about the amount of time (about 1.”
The Myth of Travel Time Saving (2008, background): “There is a good deal of data on average travel time from other sources which have been reviewed by Schafer and Victor (2000), Schafer (2000) and Mokhtarian and Chen (2004), building on the seminal earlier compilation of Zahavi and Talvitie (1980).”
Interrelations between travel mode choice and trip distance: trends in Germany 1976-2002 (2010, background): “Second, people's travel time expenditure has generally been recognised to be relatively invariant over time and space, even if this is likely to be true only on an aggregate level (Mokhtarian and Chen, 2004; in the Dutch context a long-term increase has been detected by Van Wee et al., 2006).”
Saturation of Demand for Daily Travel (2010, background): “There are methodological issues associated with such time series data (Schafer, 2000 ; Mokhtarian and Chen, 2004 ; Van Wee et al.”
The gift of travel time (2008, background): “…and physiological attributes of driving) indicate that travel time has a positive utility, which may connect with a personal travel time budget (see Salomon and Mokhtarian, 1997; Mokhtarian and Salomon, 2001; Mokhtarian et al., 2001; Mokhtarian and Chen, 2004; Redmond and Mokhtarian; 2001).”
The statistical physics of cities (2019, background): “In the context of mobility within cities, it has been proposed that individuals have a travel time budget of about one hour per day, irrespective of the location or the epoch [53] [54] (see also the review [55] and references therein).”
Revisiting reference point formation, gains-losses asymmetry and non-linear sensitivities with an emphasis on attribute specific treatment (2012, background): “…habit-based travel decisions,151 where repeated commuting decisions become non-deliberate over time (Verplanken et al., 1997).152 On the other hand, Mokhtarian and Chen (2004), drawing on work by Mokhtarian and Salomon153 (2001) argue that commuters might form an ideal (albeit realistic, i.e.…”
