This paper presents findings and analysis based upon the third wave of a national longitudinal survey in the UK which is examining part-day homeworking and comparing it with whole-day homeworking. Survey results confirm earlier findings that there is... Read More about An examination of determinants influencing the desire for and frequency of part-day and whole-day homeworking.

Time taken for residents to adopt a new public transport service: Examining heterogeneity through duration modelling (2009)
Journal Article
Chatterjee, K., & Ma, K. R. (2009). Time taken for residents to adopt a new public transport service: Examining heterogeneity through duration modelling. Transportation, 36(1), 1-25. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11116-008-9183-7

When a new public transport service is introduced it would be valuable for public authorities, financing organisations and transport operators to know how long it will take for people to start to use the service and what factors influence this. This... Read More about Time taken for residents to adopt a new public transport service: Examining heterogeneity through duration modelling.

A human perspective on the daily commute: Costs, benefits and trade-offs (2008)

Modeling the timing of user responses to a new urban public transport service: Application of duration modeling (2007)
Journal Article
Chatterjee, K., & Ma, K. R. (2007). Modeling the timing of user responses to a new urban public transport service: Application of duration modeling. Transportation Research Record, 2010(2010), 62-72. https://doi.org/10.3141/2010-08

When a new service is introduced into the transport market (or an existing service is modified), the timing and nature of the responses of individuals can be expected to vary considerably. The aggregated responses of individuals will determine overal... Read More about Modeling the timing of user responses to a new urban public transport service: Application of duration modeling.

A detailed evaluation of ramp metering impacts on driver behaviour (2007)
