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...

Mitigating climate change requires large and, by historical standards, rapid changes to policy, business processes and individual behaviour. This report examines awareness of and perceived difficulty with individual behaviour change with respect to two actions associated with high levels of...

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

The high proportion of motorized vehicles is leading to significant functional problems, especially in the centers of major cities. At the same time, dependence on fossil fuels is no longer just a climate problem, but also a problem of world peace. Simultaneously, new forms of mobility are...

This book presents a groundbreaking examination of the intricate dynamics shaping the customized bus (CB) service industry. Through a meticulous exploration segmented into three distinct parts, this book offers a holistic approach by dissecting the foundational elements, user behaviors, and...

Die städtische Verkehrsplanung und Verkehrspolitik wird häufig anhand von Städtevergleichen des Verkehrsverhaltens ihrer Einwohner bewertet. Eine Städtetypologie kann dazu beitragen, diese Unterschiede zutreffend zu interpretieren. Dazu werden in diesem Beitrag für 44 deutsche Städte 27...

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of our everyday lives. Governments have taken numerous measures to contain the spread of the pandemic, which has had a direct impact on daily mobility, modal choice and the function of public transport. This study uses quantitative and qualitative...

Tourismus und Mobilität sind untrennbar miteinander verbunden. In erster Linie mag man dabei an die An- und Abreise zur Urlaubsdestination denken. Aber auch für Aktivitäten vor Ort sind Verkehrsmittel bzw. Verkehrsinfrastrukturen von entscheidender Bedeutung. Sie können sogar, z.B. bei...

A key input to quantitative evaluations of transport infrastructure projects is their impact on transport costs. We propose a new method of estimating this impact relying on widely accessible customs data: by using the route choice of exporters. We combine our method with a spatial equilibrium...

Inwiefern wandelt sich der ÖPNV in Deutschland vor dem Hintergrund neuer Mobilitätsdienstleistungen - etwa aus den innovativen Bereichen der Mikromobilität, der kollaborativen oder intermodalen Mobilität? Können die entstehenden Innovationen die Gemeinwohlorientierung des ÖPNV...

Transport has significant externalities including carbon emissions and air pollution. Public health research has identified additional social gains from active travel, due to health benefits of physical exercise. Per mile, these benefits greatly exceed the external costs from car use. We...

The paper reports laboratory experiments on a day-to-day route choice game with two routes. Subjects had to choose between a main road M and a side road S. The capacity was greater for the main road. 18 subjects participated in each session. In equilibrium the number of subjects is 12 on M and 6...

"Taking a comprehensive approach to two central, closely intertwined themes in the field of transport economics, this illuminating Handbook recognises the critical socioeconomic importance of transport pricing and financing. The expert contributors provide insights into how pricing goes beyond...

This paper reports the theoretical and empirical evidence on the distributional effects of Express Lanes. It also provides evidence of how they affect congestion, both in the Express Lanes themselves and in the parallel general-purpose lanes. The paper also helps put Express Lanes in context by...

This paper discusses the main trends of car use and travel demand, as well as changes in policy responses and attitudes to managing the growth in urban traffic. It highlights the importance of orienting transport policies towards broader objectives beyond efficiency of congestion relief. Such a...

This paper surveys trends in private vehicle use in Latin American cities and related government policies. It discusses the Colombian government's initiatives to adopt congestion charging in major cities, highlights the political constraints encountered, and discusses policy changes adopted in...

This paper explores the impact that advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have on the behaviour of transport users and their mode choice habits in Seoul. It discusses the stated preference survey conducted in Seoul and the analysis carried out using the discrete choice...
