Travel Behaviour Reconsidered in an Era of Decarbonisation argues that we need to recognise that our transport networks are mature, and that the aim should now be to improve operational efficiency, for which a fresh perspective on economic analysis is now needed

We present a new model for estimating the distribution of international freight transport over transport modes that is directly applicable to aggregated data, allows estimations and predictions also when some modes are infeasible on some routes, and requires few processing time and memory space....

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of our everyday lives. Governments have taken numerous measures to contain the spread of the pandemic, which has had a direct impact on daily mobility, modal choice and the function of public transport. This study uses quantitative and qualitative...

Aim: As part of its climate and sustainability policies, the European Union actively fosters the transition from air to rail travel, for example by improving the international railway infrastructure, liberalizing the European railway market and introducing an international booking system for...

A preliminary analysis of the 2018/2019 Austin Travel Survey indicated that most off-campus students in Travis County, TX, tend to use cars rather than more sustainable transportation modes, significantly contributing to traffic congestion and environmental impact. This study aims to analyze the...

Mitigating climate change requires large and, by historical standards, rapid changes to policy, business processes and individual behaviour. This report examines awareness of and perceived difficulty with individual behaviour change with respect to two actions associated with high levels of...

In 2022, Germany introduced a temporary 9-euro monthly ticket for unlimited local and regional public transport. We investigate its impact on mobility patterns, including increased public transport usage, reduced car traffic, and rail network congestion. Using difference-in-difference and...

Tourismus und Mobilität sind untrennbar miteinander verbunden. In erster Linie mag man dabei an die An- und Abreise zur Urlaubsdestination denken. Aber auch für Aktivitäten vor Ort sind Verkehrsmittel bzw. Verkehrsinfrastrukturen von entscheidender Bedeutung. Sie können sogar, z.B. bei...

This study analyses the behavioural response of travellers on a temporal reduction of public transport prices in Germany through the so-called 9 Euro Ticket during summer 2022. The focus is on the inertia effect, e.g. the resistance to change behaviour, on people's travel mode decisions for...

Discrete choice models have been widely used to model individuals' decision-making processes in numerous contexts. Given that people's tastes and preferences over alternative shopping destinations vary for reasons not necessarily observed by demographic characteristics, more intricate modeling...

This paper deals with the data generation process implemented for an analysis of the impact of the 9-Euro ticket on mode choice. We discuss the assumptions made and procedures used to process a raw dataset that is based on GPS traces of individuals’ movements and on survey data into the...

People are most exposed to ambient air quality while travelling. They are therefore likely to change their travel choices to minimize exposure. We assess the impact of degrading air quality on modal shares and equivalent CO2 emissions per capita per trip for ten global cities using a...

Wasserstoff ist ein Schlüsselelement, um Klimaneutralität zu erreichen. Besonders für die Dekarbonisierung der Industrie und bestimmter Verkehrssektoren stellt er eine wichtige Ergänzung zur direkten Elektrifizierung dar. Um die künftig hohen Bedarfe zu decken, werden Importe nötig sein....

This paper analyzes how gasoline price is related to the time workers in the US spend commuting by private vehicle, public transport, walking, or cycling. Using data from the American Time Use Survey for the years 2003-2019, and collecting data on gasoline price by state and year, we find that...

In der Bremer Öffentlichkeit wird aktuell ein Teilumzug der Universität Bremen an den zentralen Standort "Am Brill" intensiv diskutiert. Bisher gibt es jedoch keine Forschungen darüber, wie sich ein solcher Teilumzug auf das Mobilitätsverhalten der Studierenden auswirken würde. An dieser...

We investigate the relationship between on-demand ridesharing via platforms like Uber and Lyft and the use of public transit systems. Our study uses trip count data on ridesharing, taxi, shared bike, and subway usage in New York City. Exploiting a series of exogenous shocks to the system — the...

This paper examines the effects of changes in downtown parking supply on urban welfare, modal choice decisions and urban spatial structure using a spatial general equilibrium model of a closed monocentric city with two transport modes, endogenous residential parking and a form of bottleneck...
