COVID-19 has brought about a substantial change in urban mobility, as well as an unprecedented increase in e-commerce throughout the world due to the emergence of new ways of shopping and consumption habits. In this context, urban logistics plays a crucial role in the triple bottom line of...

Die Studie verfolgt das Ziel, das Marktumfeld, Angebote und Erfahrungen geteilter Mobilitätsdienste in Deutschland zu analysieren, sowie Szenarien bis zum Jahr 2030 zu entwickeln. Der analytische Teil fasst den aktuellen Stand des Wissens zu geteilten Mobilitätsdiensten zusammen. Der...

We provide novel evidence for the size of key electric vehicle (EV) adoption barriers, purchase price and battery range, and the driver, operating cost, in the broadening EV market. We further demonstrate the heterogeneity of these across consumer segments, plus determine groups most resistant...

Around 99 per cent of vehicles running on India’s roads are powered by internal combustion engines running on fossil fuels (petrol, diesel, and some CNG). The passenger car is still a largely aspirational product for around one hundred million newly middle-class Indians (20 million families)....

The shared mobility services market is growing and changing very rapidly. Many novelties are introduced to the systems, ranging from improvements to the services already offered to services referred to as innovative. Since the following years are to bring significant development of mobility as a...

Abatement can be performed by measures that have an impact on present emissions, but no lasting effect, and by long-lived infrastructure investments. We study the optimal combination of short and long-lived options for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by specifying abatement cost...

This chapter is devoted to mobility in France and Germany. First, key mobility indicators for the two countries are presented. This shows that private motorised transport still dominates in both France and Germany. Despite many negative effects on the climate, but also on health and quality of...

One of the industries with the fastest growth rates worldwide, and notably in Thailand, is medical tourism. With connections to Cambodia and Laos, Ubon Ratchathani is located in lower northeastern Thailand, close to Vietnam and Myanmar. Therefore, there is a significant chance that this region...

Shared transport services, including short-term vehicle rentals (bike-, car-, moped-, scooter-sharing) and travel sharing systems (ride-sharing, ride-hailing), have become more and more popular forms of mobility in recent years. Their increasing availability has made them an alternative to...

This paper presents a type-2 fuzzy expert system (T2-FES) for load-side management, Alternative energy sources management, and electrical energy storage for a smart home. The presented T2-FES makes decisions automatically in a smart home energy management system (EMS), which includes renewable...

Der Verkehrssektor steht mit Blick auf die Klimaziele und angesichts seiner bislang ausgebliebenen Erfolge bei der Treibhausgasreduktion vor großen Herausforderungen. Getrieben wird der hohe Ausstoß auch durch eine Infrastrukturpolitik, die den Straßenverkehr stark begünstigt. Diese...

Mobility emerges as one of the axes on which cities base their response to the challenges of sustainability. It is a complex phenomenon where elements located at different levels interact, meaning that it is increasingly being studied from a multi-level perspective. There are numerous smart...

Electric vehicles are an important part of urban green transportation network, and their popularization and application are of great significance to the sustainable development of cities. In recent years, electric vehicles continue to make up greater portions of the vehicle fleet, yet are...

As the first and second largest industries of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, the green development of construction industry and transportation industry is related to whether human society can have a sustainable future. This study focuses on the transportation process of prefabricated...

This paper uses an estimated demand system that accounts for heterogeneity to calculate and compare the lost consumer surplus from a higher tax on gasoline, a tax on distance, or a subsidy for buying a newer car. We introduce a view of cost-effectiveness that compares policies instead of...

Mobility, pollution, and other barriers against sustainable goods movement are pushing local administrators to seek innovations in urban transportation infrastructure. The urban underground logistics system (ULS) has been recognized as a prospective alternative to realize large-scale automated...

Governments worldwide have begun supporting eco-friendly vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, differences exist between their sales and the government targets due to high purchase costs and lack of charging infrastructure. For the spread of eco-friendly vehicles, it is...
