First proposed by Bentham (1789), experienced utility refers to the experiences of pleasure and pain. Moment-based approaches derive these feelings of pain and pleasure from real-time measures.

The new categories include passenger car, light trucks (“other 2-axle, 4-tire vehicles”), “single-unit 2-axle 6-tire or more truck” and combination truck tractors.

The text also mentions about “how when one or any individual fails to achieve a goal, it can often lead to a negative affect which in turn can either activate upward or downward counterfactual…
