This paper gives an empirical analysis of work start time decisions. This issue is highly relevant for the future implementation of both road pricing and driver information systems, as flexibility in terms of work schedules for a sufficiently large number of travellers is an important condition to render successful the implementation of road pricing schemes and driver information systems. The analysis in the paper focuses on: the factors that determine the work schedule flexibility; the level of satisfaction derived from the actual work start time; and the amount of flexibility (allowed for by both the employer and the employees themselves) in the work start time. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of the empirical findings for the implementation of road pricing schemes and driver information systems.
