Abstract: Abstract Congestion (low average speeds) and unreliability (variability in travel times due to factors such as incidents, construction, special events, and weather) are two well-recognized undesirable characteristics of transportation systems. Travel-demand models have routinely incorporated the effect of congestion on the mode of travel, time-of-day of travel, and route of travel by using travel times and travel speeds as explanatory factors.
