Effective teaching methods for the coming generations of pragmatic students and teachers are evolving towards much greater involvement on all sides, attempting to bridge real life and academia in innova-tive ways. Our theoretical foundation lays upon the Triple Helix, n-Tuple Helix theory and...

Inwiefern wandelt sich der ÖPNV in Deutschland vor dem Hintergrund neuer Mobilitätsdienstleistungen - etwa aus den innovativen Bereichen der Mikromobilität, der kollaborativen oder intermodalen Mobilität? Können die entstehenden Innovationen die Gemeinwohlorientierung des ÖPNV...

This book offers new insights into the wider socioeconomic impacts of high-speed rail (HSR). Over the past few decades, significant investments have been made in these systems around the world. The use of public funds for the construction of high-speed rail offers a range of benefits, such as...

In dem vorliegenden Artikel werden die Berührungspunkte zwischen der Verkehrsnetzplanung und der Raumplanung im Kontext der Problematik der Standortkonkurrenzen und des Leitbilds "Wettbewerbsfähigkeit stärken" dargestellt. Es wird aus verkehrstechnischer Sicht die grundlegende Methodik der...

Automotive Management: Weiterentwicklung von Geschäftsmodellen und Perspektiven des Automobilmanagements.-Automotive Engineering: Fahrerassistenzsysteme, vernetzte Fahrzeuge, autonomes Fahren, alternative Antriebssysteme und Elektronik der Fahrzeuge -- Changes in Urban Mobility: Veränderungen...

Using over 200,000 U.S. patent citations, we test whether knowledge transfers in the transportation sector are sensitive to distance, and whether that sensitivity has changed over time. Controlling for self-citation by inventor, assignee and examiner, multivariate regression analysis shows that...

Gasoline and diesel fuel are heavily taxed in many developed and some emerging and developing countries. Outside of the United States and Europe, however, there has been little attempt to quantify the external costs of vehicle use, so policymakers lack guidance on whether prevailing tax rates...

Fiscal instruments are potentially among the most effective, and cost-effective, options for addressing externalities related to poor air quality, urban road congestion, and greenhouse gases. This paper takes a case study, focused on Mauritius (a pioneer in the use of green taxes) to illustrate...

In applications such as video surveillance systems, cameras transmit video data streams through network in which quality of received video should be assured. Traditional IP based networks cannot guarantee the required Quality of Service (QoS) for such applications. Nowadays, Software Defined...

It’s fast approaching the end of the year and the festive season, and I have a few things on my mind. First, how I’ll fit in all of my holiday plans and projects within my period of leave, which always seems to pass oh so quickly! But more important are the two issues of global financial...

Lane-changing behavior plays an important role in characterizing urban arterial road traffic dynamics. This paper investigates efficiency-driven and objective-driven motives for drivers to change lanes on arterial roads. The former motive is determined by the circumstances of the surrounding...

With perpetual strains on resources, road agencies need to develop network-level decision-making frameworks to ensure optimum resource allocation. This is especially true for intelligent transport systems (ITS), and in particular, variable message signs (VMS), a key component of incident...

Freeways are divided roadways designed to facilitate the uninterrupted movement of motor vehicles. However, many freeways now experience demand flows in excess of capacity, leading to recurrent congestion. The Highway Capacity Manual (TRB, 1994) uses empirical macroscopic relationships between...

We examine the effects of ex post revelation of information about the risk type or the risk-reducing behavior of insureds in automobile insurance markets both for perfect competition and for monopoly. Specifically, we assume that insurers can offer a contract with information revelation ex post,...

Two case studies are assessed in an attempt to understand in more detail the way in which transport and innovation policy interact in Austria and what kind of mechanisms exist to facilitate the communication between the two policy areas. The first case study concentrates on the RTD programmes in...
