Traffic and congestion problems are something that is increasingly well known, especially in metropolitan urban areas. It is vital to seek for new alternatives and solutions in order to decrease traffic jams caused by the excessive numbers of cars and the set of variables concerning commuters quality of life, such as pollution, driving stress and theirs value of time. The value of time in urban transport is becoming more and more important due to the necessity of people saving time for using it in other activities. This study identifies the value of time of commuters in one very important Brazilian highway. The highway is both, part of a Brazilian federal highway and an important link between two big cities in Rio de Janeiro state. The main objective is to calculate the value of time based on a discrete choice model with a set of stated preference data. The experiment generated the basis for analyze investments that could improvise customer services of the drivers by decreasing toll plaza queuing and travel time to use the highway segment.
