In most industrialised countries, it can be seen that urban mobility and car traffic have stagnated since the early 2000s. In France, the report on traffic conducted by the National Transport Accounts Commission shows a similar break in the trend, which was confirmed by household travel surveys...

At the aggregate level, the growth in individual car use (in vehicle*kilometres per adult) over time has considerably slowed down in France in the 2000s, but is this tendency observed whatever the area and standard of living? Relying on annual data drawn from the French Household Continuous...

[fre] En France, la croissance de la motorisation individuelle continue de ralentir et la circulation des voitures particulières plafonne depuis les années 2000, surtout dans les zones les plus urbanisées. Comment ces phénomènes s'inscrivent-ils dans le mouvement de long terme de diffusion...

<title>Abstract</title> Ageing of the population, urban sprawl and car dependency will change travel patterns. The main objective of this paper is to give elements for a better understanding of the impact of changing demographics on the long‐term evolution of daily mobility using demographic‐based models...

This article presents a microeconometric analysis of household car use in France. To characterize car use dependence, the myopic and rational addiction models are estimated using panel data drawn from the French “Car Fleet” survey. Significantly, the assumption of rational addiction to car...

This article presents a microeconometric analysis of the annual mileage travelled by French households with their personal cars, defining their automobility. To feature car use dependence, the rational addiction model of Becker et al. (1994) is applied on a panel dataset, drawn from the French...

This paper presents a structural equation model of household fleet fuel efficiency and car use. It allows to weigh the contribution of car equipment changes and car use adjustments to the price elasticity of household demand for fuel. This model is implemented using a panel dataset of 322...

This article provides an evaluation of the effects of age and generation on household car-use behavior in France, and sheds some light on household perception of fuel price volatility. Using repeated cross-section data from the French "Car Fleet" survey, a pseudo-panel averaging households in...

[fre] Traditionnellement, les trafics observés sont expliqués à l'intérieur d'une zone (ici l'une des 21 régions françaises) par les caractéristiques de ses habitants : le revenu réel, le taux d'équipement en automobiles, etc. Or, les trafics, ici celui des véhicules légers,...
