The European travel sector is experiencing a transformation driven by increased climate awareness and policy measures aimed at reducing external costs such as emissions. This study examines how Swiss travelers respond to these developments, using a stated preference experiment including the...

The Deutschlandticket, introduced in May 2023, offers unlimited travel on all regional public transport in Germany for 49€ per month. This paper provides an overview of how the intro-duction of the ticket influenced travel behaviour and mode choice based on the GIM Traces panel, a nationwide...

Excessive car-use by individuals and households poses significant challenges for regions attempting to develop and grow sustainably. School-runs are a staple trip for households and this consistency presents unique opportunities for policymakers to facilitate shifts toward more sustainable...

Riding electric bicycles and using public transport are popular alternatives to private car use. Utilizing data from a 2022 survey of 6,285 participants in Germany, we examine who typically owns e-bikes or public transport tickets. We firstly employ regression analyses to identify correlations...

Fifty years ago, transportation and logistics problems were primarily analyzed either from a supply-side or a demand-side perspective, with the fields of operations research and demand modeling evolving separately. Since then, there has been a growing interest in behavioral optimization models,...

Freight transportation modeling represents the economic demand for moving goods across spatial networks. Traditional models often treat transportation mode and destination choice as separate processes. This paper introduces an innovative framework that synthesizes a joint choice structure with a...

Amid the growing enthusiasm to use land-use and transport policy measures to encourage greater sustainable travel, the need to understand the nuance of where such interventions are effective, how they work, and who they impact is essential. Yet, the relative importance of who we are and where we...

Der Tourismus ist ein maßgeblicher Verursacher klimaschädlicher Treibhausgasemissionen, von denen ein Großteil auf den touristischen Verkehr und insbesondere auf die Fahrt zwischen Wohnort und Reiseziel entfällt. Die Förderung der Nutzung emissionsärmerer Verkehrsmittel wie des Reisebusses...

A preliminary analysis of the 2018/2019 Austin Travel Survey indicated that most off-campus students in Travis County, TX, tend to use cars rather than more sustainable transportation modes, significantly contributing to traffic congestion and environmental impact. This study aims to analyze the...

Aim: As part of its climate and sustainability policies, the European Union actively fosters the transition from air to rail travel, for example by improving the international railway infrastructure, liberalizing the European railway market and introducing an international booking system for...

We present a new model for estimating the distribution of international freight transport over transport modes that is directly applicable to aggregated data, allows estimations and predictions also when some modes are infeasible on some routes, and requires few processing time and memory space....

Der Tourismus ist ein maßgeblicher Verursacher klimaschädlicher Treibhausgasemissionen, von denen ein Großteil auf den touristischen Verkehr und insbesondere auf die Fahrt zwischen Wohnort und Reiseziel entfällt. Die Förderung der Nutzung emissionsärmerer Verkehrsmittel wie des Reisebusses...

In 2022, Germany introduced a temporary 9-euro monthly ticket for unlimited local and regional public transport. We investigate its impact on mobility patterns, including increased public transport usage, reduced car traffic, and rail network congestion. Using difference-in-difference and...

Travel Behaviour Reconsidered in an Era of Decarbonisation argues that we need to recognise that our transport networks are mature, and that the aim should now be to improve operational efficiency, for which a fresh perspective on economic analysis is now needed

Discrete choice models have been widely used to model individuals' decision-making processes in numerous contexts. Given that people's tastes and preferences over alternative shopping destinations vary for reasons not necessarily observed by demographic characteristics, more intricate modeling...

This paper deals with the data generation process implemented for an analysis of the impact of the 9-Euro ticket on mode choice. We discuss the assumptions made and procedures used to process a raw dataset that is based on GPS traces of individuals’ movements and on survey data into the...

This study analyses the behavioural response of travellers on a temporal reduction of public transport prices in Germany through the so-called 9 Euro Ticket during summer 2022. The focus is on the inertia effect, e.g. the resistance to change behaviour, on people's travel mode decisions for...
