Mobility gives individuals access to different daily activities, facilities, and places, but at the cost of imposing environmental burdens. The sustainable growth of society is linked to green mobility (e.g., public transport, walking, cycling) as a way to alleviate individual carbon footprints....

Many current problems in air traffic are related to the number of aircraft movements. Overcrowding in the airspace, difficult coordination at airports, high emissions of noise and pollutants as well as complexity of airlines are side effects of too many aircraft movements. This study examines...

Die Automobilindustrie befindet sich weltweit in einem fundamentalen Transformationsprozess, dessen wesentlicher Bestandteil der Umstieg von konventionellen Antrieben mit Verbrennungsmotoren auf elektrische Fahrzeuge ist. Dieser strukturelle Wandel wird sich auch deutlich auf die Job-Profile der...

This paper shows that differentiating driving costs by time of day and vehicle type help improve urban air quality, lower driving, and induce adoption of electric vehicles. By taking advantage of a congestion charge that imposed spatial and temporal variation in the cost of driving a...

Flexibles Carsharing bietet in den Städten eine Alternative zum privaten PKW-Besitz. Der mögliche Beitrag dieser Dienstleistungen zu einer Reduktion der Autoanzahl wird aber immer wieder kontrovers diskutiert. Die empirische Datenbasis zu dieser Frage ist bisher noch relativ klein. Die...

This Ph.D. project focuses on complex environmental and social global supply issues in line with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. One of the possible key contributors to this Agenda is the maritime transport industry, which could drive sustainable development from...

This paper experimentally investigates the existence of behavioural deviations from the oft-assumed rationality in private transport decisions, avoiding the selection-biases in revealed data. Through a choice experiment answered by 995 Swiss respondents, we explore the linkages between long- and...

Im politischen, medialen, planerischen und wissenschaftlichen Diskurs wird der Begriff "kultur" häufig benutzt, insbesondere wenn es um den Transformationsprozess hin zu einer nachhaltigen Mobilität geht. Aber so häufig wie der Begriff mittle rweile genutzt wird, so definitorisch unklar und...

The number of diesel cars in Europe has grown significantly over the last three decades, a process usually known as dieselization, and they now account for nearly 40% of the cars on the road. We build on a dynamic general equilibrium model that makes a distinction between diesel motor and...

Using the EASI demand system and Irish data, it is found that additional carbon taxation is not as regressive as previously found, when the externality cost associated with driving is included in the metric of the tax incidence. This result is in contrast with the existing literature. Affluent...

The paper at hand discusses the different typologies of combined transportation in Europe. It shows that an improvement of handling infrastructure for combined transport can positively reduce environmental costs of trading between regions. However, the expected emission reduction effects are...

Um langfristige Klimaziele zu erreichen kommt der Bepreisung von Treibhausgasemissionen eine entscheidende Rolle zu. Wir untersuchen die Auswirkungen eines CO2-Preises auf die Inflationsrate am Beispiel des in Deutschland geplanten nationalen Brennstoff-Emissionshandelssystems, welches ab 2021...

The "Avoid", "Shift" and "Improve" (A-S-I) approach is an effective method for transforming an unsustainable transport system to a sustainable one. This study intends to examine the possible impact of the A-S-I policy measures in transforming the transportation system in Lagos - the most...

The future EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) requires coherence with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the international commitments in the fight against climate change. Next to ensuring stable food supply by supporting farmers and enhancing agricultural productivity, environmental...

Reducing energy consumption and emissions from freight transport plays an important role in climate change mitigation. However, there remains a need for enhanced policymaking and research to explore a low carbon future of freight transport. This research establishes a freight transport model to...

This paper discusses the importance of reducing the space consumption of car traffic as opposed to simply reducing individuals' travel time. It highlights the role of app-based mobility services in reducing urban congestion from a spatial perspective and the importance of shifting the focus from...

The shared bicycles had become an important choice for Beijing citizens to travel "the last kilometer" on a daily basis. By replacing buses and cars, sharing bicycles can reduce urban carbon emissions, and only occupy a small area of parking space, thus improving urban land use efficiency. A...

The transport sector is the only sector in Germany where greenhouse gas emissions have remained virtually unchanged, and it is one of those areas of everyday life in which equal participation for all is often not guaranteed. In other words, the German transport system is in urgent need of...

Urban development is key to sustainable development in the world because people have moved from rural areas to urban cities. Mobility and transport have the highest potential to reduce emissions of carbon in urban areas. Local and international companies have been affected by introducing Chinese...

Der Autoverkehr ist in vielen Städten zu einer hohen Belastung geworden: Lärm, überfüllte Innenstädte, Staus, Feinstaub- und Stickoxidemissionen sorgen für massive negative externe Effekte und haben eine heftige und kontroverse Diskussion um die Zukunft der Mobilität angeregt. Fahrverbote...

In Switzerland, transportation represents 41% of CO2 emissions from energy combustion (2016), a much higher share than in the European Union (EU) (28%) or even the USA (34%). While total Swiss CO2 emissions decreased by 10% between 1990 and 2016, CO2 emissions from transport increased by 4.5%...
