Induced Travel Demand: Research Design, Empirical Evidence, and Normative Policies (2002, background): “Reflecting on the history of highway policies in the United States, Wilfred Owens (1985), echoed this view: “Meeting the ever-growing needs for transport capacity has often proved to be a fruitless task, as the persistence in urban traffic jams attest” (p. 366).”
TTB or not TTB, that is the question: a review and analysis of the empirical literature on travel time (and money) budgets (2004, background): “This links the TTB concept to the induced demand debate (e.g., Noland and Lem, 2002), with one extreme arguing that, at least from energy and air quality standpoints, it is useless at best and counterproductive at worst to add network capacity (or, presumably, to implement any operational…”
The Myth of Travel Time Saving (2008, background): “Given the conservation of average travel time, induced traffic across the network is predictable, being proportional to the increase in average speed caused by the increase in capacity (Metz, 2004a; also recognized by Noland and Lem, 2002).”
Density and Dispersion: The Co-Development of Land Use and Rail in London (2007, background): “In transportation research, what has been dubbed the ‘induced demand’ problem has developed around it a literature that aims to measure (typically at the county or state level) how much additional traffic [usually measured as vehicle miles (kilometers) of travel] will result from additions to road c”
Road Expansion, Urban Growth, and Induced Travel: A Path Analysis (2001, unknown): “Noland and Lem (2002) maintain that the inclusion of fixed-effect variables is absolutely essential in induced travel studies, since so many exogenous, difficult-to-measure factors (e.g., entry of women into the workplace) have propelled VMT growth over the past several decades (see Heanue, 1997,…”
