Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: People's adaptations to increased energy prices in transportation have been studied at length using stated preference, choice and adaptation experiments. To point at an alternative experimental design approach to estimate utility functions under constraints, the principles of mixture-amount experiments are discussed. A context-dependent elaboration of a mixture amount choice experiment is constructed to measure people’s responses to accumulative energy charges under four different contexts. Considering consumer heterogeneity in adaptive response behavior, mixed logit analysis is used for analyzing the extent and nature of adaptation of activity-travel behavior and resources when faced with increasing energy costs. The results indicate that individuals are inclined to compensate for increased expenditures due to energy price increases. Moreover, results show the existence of significant heterogeneity among respondents in terms of their sensitivity to various energy saving choices.
