This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).This article has been retracted at the request of Editor. The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in Transportation Research Part A, 43 (2009) 580–591. doi:10.1016/j.tra.2009.02.005. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.As a consequence, pages 1059–1071 originally occupied by the retracted article are missing from the printed issue. The publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
