THE TRAVEL-BUDGET CONCEPT: IN COMPETITION WITH OR COMPLEMENTARY TO CONVENTIONAL TRANSPORT MODELS
DE BUDGETBENADERING: CONCURREREND OF COMPLEMENTAIR MET GANGBARE VERKEERS EN VERVOERMODELLEN
Theoretically, there is reason to believe that, in particular among homogeneous groups of households, travel budgets tend to be constant through time, so long as overall time and money patterns do not change drastically. Moreover, the empirical results of travel-budget studies give no reason to abandon the concept of constant travel budgets. To integrate it in conventional transport models is not easy, however. How to value time is one problem among other theoretical and practical ones still to be solved. The travel-budget approach may be useful to evaluate existing and develop new ways of modelling.
