This paper investigates the effects of road infrastructure on industrial activity in Mexico from a quantitative perspective. It addresses three main issues. First, it investigates the existence of a relationship between road infrastructure and the industrial average product of labour. Second, it...

Urban transport problems are increasingly being tackled as part of integrated land use/transport strategies. Thredbo 12 discussed high level goals against which urban public transport systems and services should be assessed and highlighted the importance of taking an integrated approach to land...

Although many authors have studied regulatory schemes for bus operators of public transport provision, little attention has been given to incentive schemes for bus drivers in terms of economic incentives and labour conditions. Therefore, there is a need to analyse incentive schemes for bus...

In order to aid fleet fuel choices, specifically in Brazil and India, this report compiles emissions testing data from in-use or real world drive cycle tests. The data is used to compare the range of emissions for four emissions that are commonly regulated by emissions standards (CO, THC, NOx,...

We have established new values of time (VOTs) and values of travel time reliability (VORs) for use in cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of transport projects in The Netherlands. This was the first national study in The Netherlands (and one of the first world-wide) to investigate these topics...

We modify a method recently suggested by Weitzman (2012, 2013) for determining a risk-adjusted social discount rate (SDR) term structure consistent with both the (augmented) Ramsey rule and the consumption-based CAPM. Using this approach we estimate SDR for transportation infrastructure...

The Swiss railway system is known for its high quality of service and integration in a particularly dense public transport system. People are generally less aware of ongoing institutional reform. This article strives to shed light on passenger transport reform, and more particularly on regional...

A major transport project would typically affect the cost of travel of several different alternatives, and give rise to a combination of gains and losses to users of each alternative. The attribution of benefits to each of the travel alternatives needs to recognise that travellers may change...

Transport for South Hampshire, a joint board responsible for transport planning for a conurbation of over one million people, successfully bid for the UK's Better Bus Area Fund. This will result in investments of £7.4 million over the period 2012 to 2014, of which £4.5 million will come from...

Various studies have advocated the potential for Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services to deliver sustainable local public transport. This paper investigates the sustainability credentials of DRT services using evidence from UK-based research. More specifically, six potential DRT market...
