Empirical Analysis of the Work Schedule Flexibility

Abstract

In this chapter, the flexibility of work schedules as a key factor of possible success or failure to road-pricing and motorist information systems is examined. Of course, the relationship between departure time and the flexibility of work schedules is also of great interest to many other important policy issues in transportation research. To name a few, one might, for instance, think of the implementation and analysis of variable work time schedules, flexible work hours, staggered work hours, telecommuting and compressed work weeks, etc.
