This paper reviews recent research into the demand inducing effects of new transportation
capacity. We begin with a discussion of the basic theoretical background and then review …

We investigate the effect of lane kilometers of roads on vehicle-kilometers traveled (VKT) in
US cities. VKT increases proportionately to roadway lane kilometers for interstate highways …

This paper discusses the nature, and magnitude, of externalities associated with automobile
use, including local and global pollution, oil dependence, traffic congestion and traffic …

This paper analyzes aggregate personal motor-vehicle travel within a simultaneous model
of aggregate vehicle travel, fleet size, fuel efficiency, and congestion formation. We measure …

Claims that roadway investments spur new travel, known as induced demand, and thus fail
to relieve traffic congestion have thwarted road development in the United States. Past …

Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is an established health hazard, and roadway
construction has the potential to affect TRAP by relieving congestion. The relationship …

This paper presents simultaneous models that predict induced travel demand and induced
road investment using an array of instrument variables reflecting political, environmental …

This paper examines the causal link between highway capacity and the volume of vehicle
travel in US urban areas. Estimates from a dynamic panel model suggest that highway …

Claims of induced travel demand have seemingly paralyzed the ability to rationalize road
development in the United States. Methodological issues related to resolution of analysis …

The study focuses on map** spatiotemporal patterns and detecting the potential drivers of
traffic congestion with multi-source data. First, based on real-time traffic data retrieved from …
