This paper studies the effects of aerial cable cars on mode of transport, time use, and employment in the metropolitan area of La Paz, Bolivia. Using an instrumental variables approach, we estimate local average treatment effects of cable car use for residents who use the system due to proximity...

Addressing unemployment and income inequalities in transport and land-use policies is important, particularly in South Africa, which is currently experiencing one of the highest unemployment rates and income inequality in the world. This research investigates the horizontal (geographical...

The study ascertains to what extent immigrants in major German cities spend more time on daily mobility and attempts to identify the underlying reasons for this phenomenon. High travel time expenditures have detrimental impacts on health and well-being, employment, and civic engagement besides...

We propose a methodology to calculate the mismatch between places of work and places of residence that incorporates monetary and opportunity transportation costs while correcting for possible overestimation of job accessibility. This methodology enables the analysis of spatiotemporal changes in...

The concentration of hospital capacities often involves closures of smaller hospital sites. While advocates of hospital concentrations emphasize increased quality of care and cost savings, some people may feel their health care is at risk. In this paper, I analyze the effect of 18 recent...

We assess the role of gender-conforming social norms in household decision-making and gender inequalities in the labor market with a parsimonious household model that endogenizes commuting time. Using the American Community Survey 2008-2019, we test the model predictions and find that women in...

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...

The fast rates at which urban population is growing coupled with increasing demands expressed within cities have given rise to challenging freight transportation problems. The Two-echelon Vehicle Routing Problem (2E-VRP) has been proposed as a scheme to tackle city-related problems. To better...

Telework has gained increasing popularity in recent years, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, and is often considered a work practice that contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing commuting trips. However, the existing literature presents mixed findings regarding its...

This study focuses on developing and evaluating predictive models for bus travel times adaptable to any transit network, or to new roadway segments without prior travel time data. Most prior work relies on non-standardized features such as road traffic forecasts or closed-source datasets to test...

Analyzing the flow of vehicles within a metropolitan area is essential to understand traffic congestion better and evaluate urban mobility for more environmentally and sustainable targets. This study uses real-time big data to conduct a spatiotemporal analysis of traffic congestion patterns in...

The user-written command georoute is designed to calculate travel distance and travel time between two addresses or two geographical points identified by their coordinates. Since its conception and description by Weber and Péclat (2017), the command has been gradually maintained and enriched....

Addressing unemployment and income inequalities in transport and land-use policies is important, particularly in South Africa, which is currently experiencing one of the highest unemployment rates and income inequality in the world. This research investigates the horizontal (geographical...

From 1860 to 1913 the six colonies that became states of Australia strove to attract migrants from the UK with a variety of assisted passages. The colonies/states shared a common culture and sought migrants from a common source, the UK, but set policy independently of each other. This experience...

In recent years, Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has attracted attention from users, industry groups, and transportation planners as an emerging transportation mode. Extensive studies have shown that the placement of UAM vertiports has a significant impact on both UAM demand and accessibility. This...

In this paper we consider, for the first time, the setup and travel times of cranes in the berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem. We first propose a new mixed integer linear programming model (MILP) for the problem without setups (BACASP), in which neither the berthing positions nor...

This study examines if the Gini coefficient, which is a widely used measure of income/wealth inequality in a country/society, could be used as a measure of travel time reliability. To be considered a valid measure of travel time reliability, the Gini coefficient should at least agree with...

The Middle Corridor (MC) is a multimodal transport corridor connecting China to Europe, which has been receiving elevated attention following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The MC links China, and Kazakhstan by rail through Dostyk or Khorgos/Altynkol, crosses Kazakhstan by rail to the Aktau Port,...

Due to the uncertain nature of the traffic system, it is not trivial for delivery companies to reliably satisfy customers' time windows. To guarantee the reliability of the pickup and delivery service under stochastic and time-dependent travel times, we consider a pickup and delivery problem...

From 1860 to 1913 the six colonies that became states of Australia strove to attract migrants from the UK with a variety of assisted passages. The colonies/states shared a common culture and sought migrants from a common source, the UK, but set policy independently of each other. This experience...

Using commuting data for Brisbane, Australia, we find that accounting for measurement error in travel times causes the magnitude of parameters in mode and location choice models to increase approximately three-fold and 30-40%, respectively. Errors appear to be somewhat systematic, with travel...

Introduction -- Cost-benefit analysis of transport projects: Theoretical framework and practical rules -- Cost-benetif analysis of transport investments: An application to high-speed rail investments -- The consequences of pricing policies on investment decisions: An application to high-speed...
