<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> The enormous potential of combined transport (rail-road) makes rail the main alternative to the transport of freight by road in the Europe. Unfortunately, the European railway network is strongly fragmented, having different bottleneck points. This paper presents research that centers...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Urban road networks in many countries are severely congested. Expanding traffic network capacities by building more roads is very costly as well as environmentally damaging. Researchers, planners, and transportation professionals have developed various Travel Demand Management (TDM)...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> This paper presents a definition of sustainable urban freight transport (SUFT), based on the existing theories and concepts, and develops an indicator set that describes SUFT. The definition of SUFT makes a categorisation of actions possible which enables actors to select effective...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> The City of Edinburgh in Scotland in the UK had advanced plans for a congestion charging scheme until 25 February 2005. However, these plans were abandoned at that time after a referendum that resulted in a ‘no vote’. This paper explains the origins of the scheme, outlines its...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> One of the biggest problems facing modern airports is the noise generated by air traffic, and the impact of that noise on those living nearby. Noise is an unavoidable consequence of air traffic but it can be reduced in numerous ways, including technical innovations in aircraft design...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Online traffic flow modeling is of increasing importance due to intelligent transport systems and technologies. The flow-density relation plays an important role in traffic flow modeling and provides a basic way to illustrate traffic flow behavior under different traffic flow and...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Abstract This paper investigates the influences of deregulation on Taiwan's domestic air market, which took place in 1987. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, the number of effective competitors, and the concentration ratio of a defined market are used to measure the associated market...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Planners, engineers and economists have introduced various demand management methods in an attempt to reduce the fast growing traffic congestion. The basic idea behind various demand management strategies is to force drivers to travel and use transportation facilities more during...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Given stochastic features of the demands on both the major road and the minor road at an at-grade un-signalized intersection, the capacity of the minor road is viewed as the vulnerable and critical part impacting on the overall capacity of the intersection. To facilitate the analysis...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> New technologies, especially advances in telecommunications, have had profound impacts on everyday life and brought even greater changes to some business models. Taxis represent one of the major modes of transportation in urban areas but they face a number of problems, including their...
