The (supposed) regressivity of (primarily price-based) climate protection policy instruments often hampers an evidence-based discussion at the political level and is used as an argument against the implementation of corresponding measures. To assess the distributional implications of...

Demand-side mitigation strategies have been gaining momentum in climate change mitigation research. Still, the impact of different approaches in passenger transport, one of the largest energy demand sectors, remains unclear. We couple a transport simulation model to an energy system optimisation...

Urban passenger transport is a key point in the progress of any city. It is a strategic area whose efficient and sustainable development requires the incorporation of multiple disciplines. It affects territorial, social, health, economic, and environmental policies, among others. In recent...

This study quantifies the effect of train station openings on residential house prices across Germany over a 12-year period to provide generalizable evidence on the valuation of access to passenger rail by households. It is based on data on about 90 train station openings between 2009 and 2020...

Passenger travel by car currently accounts for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions, but reducing dependency on the car in rural areas while ensuring accessibility is challenging. This study offers a user perspective on the constraints to fossil-free mobility in a remote rural area of...

Freight integration into public transport is a promising sustainable last-mile solution. This chapter determines circumstances under which integrating freight and passenger demand benefits operators and passengers. We formulate a joint optimization model that determines the train schedule, the...

Rund 28% des jährlichen Endenergieverbrauchs in Deutschland entfällt laut der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Energiebilanzen (AGEB) auf den Sektor der privaten Haushalte. Weitere 27% der Endenergie werden vom Verkehrssektor verbraucht. Haushalte verwenden Energie insbesondere für die Erzeugung von...

The Economics of Electric Vehicles for Passenger Transportation' provides answers to three critical questions: Why should developing countries pursue e-mobility? When does an accelerated transition to electric vehicles (EVs) make sense for developing countries? How can governments make this...

With the advent of ultra-high-speed public transportation, the need for more efficient arrangements of points of embarkation and disembarkation (“stops”) become a pressing necessity as such arrangements are established at the outset of a new system. To make the most of ultra-high-speed...

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered travel patterns in cities across the world. Previous studies have found that travel choices during the pandemic are affected by attitudes and perceptions of risk in addition to transportation system level-of-service attributes. However, traditional travel demand...

Today transport is the good performing sector hence road transport in India is operated by public sector and predominately by private sector. In general, compared with the other modes of transport bus transport and its services are more indispensable, convenient and very easy to access. The...

Electric mobility has garnered growing interest and significant momentum across several major global markets, often motivated by transport sector decarbonization. Together, Europe, China, and the United States account for more than 90 percent of the world's electric vehicle fleet. For many OECD...

Accurate short-term forecasting of public transport demand is essential for the operation of on-demand public transport. Knowing where and when future demands for travel are expected allows operators to adjust timetables quickly, which helps improve service quality and reliability and attract...

Urban on-demand transportation services are booming, in both passenger transportation and the transportation of goods. The types of service differ in timeliness and compensation and, until now, providers operate larger fleets separately for each type of service. While this may ensure sufficient...

Passengers' expected waiting time (EWT) has been a primary performance indicator of public transport services. Accurate estimation of EWT plays a vital role in public transit planning and operations. An extensive literature review indicates that existing EWT models were usually developed based...

One of critical challenges in the development of pedestrian models is the lack of relevant data under emergency conditions. In this paper, we reveal several behavior characteristics of passenger emergency evacuation from a burning bus carriage, by observing and analyzing a video recording,...

This paper investigates the transport policy development and characteristics of the Austrian passenger transport sector from the 1950s onwards. The analysed performance indicators deal with the three most prevalent modes of transport (cars, trains and airplanes) and are linked to independent...

Increases in last-mile transport contribute to congestion and pollution in urban environments. To make deliveries more sustainable, they may be integrated with existing public transport infrastructure, e.g., metros or trams. This integration can rely on alternative operational modes: shared...

Urban rail transit (URT) networks serve a large amount of travel demand in metropolitan areas. One of the fundamental challenges in URT demand management is the dynamic interaction between train frequencies and passenger routing behaviors, which becomes even more complicated in oversaturated...
