This article deals with modelling congestion charges at an airport. In this context, congestion charging represents internalizing the cost of marginal delays that a flight imposes on other flights due to congestion. The modelling includes estimating congestion and flight delays, the cost of...

Trips between nodes in public transit networks may be made with or without making transfers. Transfers usually represent an inconvenience to passengers. Since poorly coordinated transfers can increase waiting times significantly, it is especially important (when constructing timetables) to...

Previous studies have concluded that the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) is a promising new technique for modelling freight distribution, supporting the findings of other studies in the area of spatial interaction modelling. However, the forecasting performance of ANNs is still under...

This article discusses approaches to the determination of railway capacity and the significance of the following factors on capacity: mix of trains, length and weight of trains, direction of train travel, acceleration and deceleration, stopping protocols of trains, location and length of...

<title/> Transport policy aims to assist the transport system to work more efficiently and effectively. An understanding of the reasons why people choose to move freight in a certain manner is critical to the development of appropriate policies. This article outlines a data collection approach and the...

<title/> Transport accounts for about 25% of global CO 2 emissions. Transport activities are on the rise in the coming decades. Would associated CO 2 emissions move upwards as well, and at what rate? The present paper explores the future of these CO 2 emissions, starting from four scenarios for global...

<title/> This article evaluates the opportunities and the feasibility of technological innovations in transport systems in relation to goals of mitigating global air pollution and climate change. The analytical framework for this technological assessment is formed by the life cycle theory, in which...

<title/> Air traffic, worldwide, keeps growing strongly, creating critical capacity situations and traffic congestion. As a consequence, large delays are suffered by airlines, passengers and airport authorities alike. When a rough estimate is needed, the results of traditional queuing theory can be used...

<title/> This article considers the development of the international transport sector based on four globalization scenarios. These four images of the future transportation market are constructed at three different levels (global, European and Dutch). The possible consequences of these scenarios are...

<title/> This article presents a simulation of four quantitative scenarios using the applied general equilibrium model WorldScan . The scenarios are constructed to study the effects of globalization on transport and the environment. They contain different assumptions on the degree of globalization,...
