Empirical analysis of travel time reliability measures in urban expressway network

Travel time reliability has become more important in modern society as industrial society and households require just in time transport for business and private activities. The data collection system of traffic flow, on the other hand, has made it possible to hand large amounts of travel time data. This study considers the fundamental characteristics of travel time reliability measures using the traffic flow data in the Hanshin expressway network. These are then compared with the previously proposed traffic congestion measures, and the differences among several routes in the network are investigated. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
