On 10 November 2014 TRAIL PhD student Chao Chen got his PhD on ‘Task Complexity and Time Pressure: Impacts on Activity-Travel Choices’ at Delft University of Technology.

Congratualtions Chao!

Short summary
Task complexity and time pressure may have impacts on travellers’ choices in the context of highly synchronised mobility networks. However, it is unclear at the moment how these two aspects should be properly modelled simultaneously and what these impacts of the two aspects really are on travellers’ choices. Consequently, this research aims to capture these possible impacts, by developing relevant discrete choice models and collecting relevant Stated Preference data.
