<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> This paper discusses important design aspects of the ‘taxi-like’ car fleet system used to transport VIPs during the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. This system included more than 600 vehicles, two large depots, a call center, 1300 drivers and more than 100 management staff, and provided...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper investigates how air passengers’ expectations, ticket price, airline service quality, value, passenger satisfaction and airline image determine their buying behaviour. To test the conceptual frameworks, path analysis was applied to data collected from Korean and Australian...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper puts forward a methodology for designing a system for school transport which, apart from designing routes, specifies school opening times. Traditionally school opening times have always been identical in the same area meaning many buses have to be used at the same time. This...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> This paper proposes the concept of a bus rapid transit (BRT) or light rail system that effectively requires only one dedicated but reversible lane to support two-way traffic in the median of a busy commute corridor with regular provision of left-turn lanes. Traffic crossing is...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> In this study, we focus on the development of work team routing/scheduling models incorporating stochastic travel and repair times. Robust and expected optimization concepts, combined with a time--space network technique, are used to develop the models. We perform numerical tests based...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Public transport systems are confronted by the need to improve their economic effectiveness in order to meet customer requirements at acceptable costs for transit providers, which are often heavily subsidized. Our goal is to understand how the organizational form of the transit system...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Urban form is often assumed to influence travel distance. However, as this is no travel choice in itself, but the consequence of other decisions, this paper tests, consistent with the activity-based approach, a causal model that does not relate urban form directly with daily travel...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Public attitudes to transport are complex. This paper summarises selected themes from a large scale evidence review of over 300 studies, with a focus on attitudes to important (and sometimes controversial) aspects of transport policy, namely assessment of the importance of congestion,...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Rail-based intermodal freight transportation systems in the European Union have been regarded as being more environmental friendly than truck-only freight systems, particularly for long-distance haulage and in terms of CO₂ emissions. However, to date there has been no clear comparison...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Travel time is an important indicator of network performance used in traffic operations and management. Commonly deployed inductive loop detectors (ILDs) measure time-mean-speed (TMS), whereas space-mean-speed (SMS) is required to calculate the travel time. A well-known relationship...
