Identifying Crowding Impact on Departure Time Choice of Commuters in Urban Rail Transit by Yan Cheng, Xiafei Ye, Taku Fujiyama

“…The data from Shanghai Metro used for estimation were collected by a specifically designed survey, which combines revealed preference questions and stated preference experiments to investigate the willingness and extent of changing departure time choice of passengers who experienced various grades and duration of crowding in the most crowded part. The result shows that an asymmetric valuation model with preferred arrival time as the only reference point best captured commuters’ responses to arrival time. …”
