The irresistible peak-hour: Instrumental and axiological rationales of work hours' synchronisation
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, 2019 An ever-increasing proportion of the French working population today has working hours that are no longer subject to the explicit diktat of their employer. However, in Île-de-France (Paris region), the problems of morning rush-hour congestion continue to

Employer Attitudes towards Peak Hour Avoidance
European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2012 Peak Hour Avoidance is a relatively new Dutch mobility management measure. To reduce congestion frequent car drivers are given a financial reward for reducing the proportion of trips that they make during peak hours on a specific motorway section ...

Modeling of peak hour factor on highways and arterials
KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2013 The peak hour factor characterizes the fluctuations of traffic flow based on the busiest 15 minutes during the peak hour. This parameter is used in the process of evaluating the traffic flow conditions such as capacity and Level of Service. The paper examines the impact of traffic on the PHF, and results in calibrated models that estimate the PHF of ...
