In order to reach this goal, a two-stage hierarchical model is estimated, concentrated around the concept of public acceptability. The research was conducted in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium, by means of an interactive stated adaptation survey, administered on the internet, involving 300 respondents. It is found that behavioural changes themselves are not dependent on the perceived acceptability of road pricing. In addition, earlier findings concerning the acceptability of push measures are validated, and the relevance of using latent factors rather than aggregate indicators is illustrated. | Keywords: | road pricing, socio-cognitive factors, acceptability, activity-travel behaviour, stated adaptation experiment;road pricing; socio-cognitive factors; acceptability; activity-travel behaviour; stated adaptation experiment | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/10510 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://orbi.ulg.ac.be/bitstream/2268/134215/1/Coolsetal2010revised.pdf | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
