Moral aspects of travelers' intentions to participate in a hypothetical established social routing scheme

Social routing schemes are widely regarded as promising tools to reduce traffic congestion in urban networks. We contribute to the growing literature on such schemes and their effect on travel behavior, by exploring the interaction between the characteristics and framing of the s ...

Obfuscation maximization-based decision-making

Theory, methodology and first empirical evidence

Theories of decision-making are routinely based on the notion that decision-makers choose alternatives which align with their underlying preferences—and hence that their preferences can be inferred from their choices. In some situations, however, a decision-maker may wish to hide ...

Decision Field Theory

Equivalence with probit models and guidance for identifiability

We examine identifiability and distinguishability in Decision Field Theory (DFT) models and highlight pitfalls and how to avoid them. In the past literature, the models’ parameters have been put forward as being able to capture the psychological processes in a decision maker's mi ...

Moral rhetoric in discrete choice models

A Natural Language Processing approach

This paper proposes a new method to combine choice- and text data to infer moral motivations from people’s actions. To do this, we rely on moral rhetoric, in other words, extracting moral values from verbal expressions with Natural Language Processing techniques. We use moral rhe ...
Discrete Choice Models are valuable tools for quantitative decision-making analysis: they allow analysts to draw behavioural conclusions from data, better understand and predict choices, and evaluate policies. However, up until recently, they had a blind spot for morality. Moral ...

Engaging the Crowd in Sensing for Smart Mobility

A Discrete Choice Experiment Investigating Users' Preferences in Participatory Sensing Applications

In 2050, it is expected that 70% of the world’s population will live in cities (Jin et al., 2014), leading to increasing congestion in and surrounding cities. This will raise new challenges, requiring more efficient and interactive cities. A novel paradigm contributing to these s ...
