So far, in Austria neither the extent of unreliability, nor the related costs and the resulting consequences for the behaviour of travellers have been investigated. The research project RELAUT sheds light on the Austrian situation by using Austrian traffic and punctuality data and by conducting a survey among users of the Austrian transport network. Based on the findings, measures that improve reliability (and hence reduce the corresponding costs) are recommended. In order to analyze travel time reliability in a systematic way, both the P\u2010side (P = price) and the Q\u2010side (Q = quantity) must be known. The P\u2010side indicates the valuation that users of the transport network attach to reliability. The Q\u2010side, in contrast, defines the extent of (un\u2010)reliability. The economic costs related to travel time variability are then defined as P*Q.<\/p>\n\n
