Asymmetric preferences for road safety: Evidence from a stated choice experiment among car drivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-29)Recent research has proposed fitting responses from discrete choice experiments to asymmetric value functions consistent with prospect theory, taking into account respondents’ reference points in their valuation of choice ... -
A theoretical perspective on road safety communication campaigns
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-16)This paper proposes a theoretical perspective on road safety communication campaigns, which may help in identifying the conditions under which such campaigns can be effective. The paper proposes that, from a theoretical ... -
A statistical law in the perception of risks and physical quantities in traffic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-28)This paper suggests that a universal psychophysical law influences the perception of risks and physical quantities in traffic. This law states that there will be a tendency to overestimate low probabilities or small ... -
