This paper deals with first-best and second-best congestion pricing of a stylised two-link network with probabilistic route choice of travellers. Travellers may have heterogeneous values of travel times and may differ in their idiosyncratic route preferences. We derive first-best and second-best...

We compare three stochastic user equilibrium traffic assignment models multinomial probit, nested logit, and generalized nested logit), using a congestible transport network. We test the models in two situations: one in which they have theoretically equivalent coefficients, and one in which they...

Since "Belt and Road initiative" (BRI) has been launched, the major volume of academic studies focus on the consideration of Eurasian land and maritime transport routes. Experts on Chinese foreign policy and geopolitical strategy emphasize possible positive and negative aspects of the initiative...

Objective Emerging economies like India are investing heavily in rapid development of urban transport infrastructure for public transport. Though the initial efforts started with three modes - metro rail, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and surface rail; currently investments are being made mainly in...

This study presents the results of an ex-ante assessment of the accessibility and equity impacts of a subway expansion in Fortaleza (Brazil). We analyze how the number of jobs, health facilities, and schools accessible by public transportation is expected to change with the implementation of a...

Natural disasters cause economic damages and may exacerbate disparities in income distribution among countries across the globe. This article employs satellite data on real-time active fire locations to evaluate the short-term impact of forest fires on economic inequality around the world. Using...

In der verkehrspolitischen Diskussion werden bedarfsgesteuerte Angebotsformen des öffentlichen Personennahverkehrs (ÖPNV) vielfach als geeignete Ergänzung des sich in nachfrageschwachen Räumen ausdünnenden traditionellen ÖPNV betrachtet, um auf den Qualitätsnachteil gegenüber dem...
