The aim of this paper is to describe and apply a comprehensive framework to derive optimal and acceptable land use and transport strategies. The framework includes a constrained optimisation algorithm that approximates and maximises an objective function with respect to available land use and...

We apply a modelling framework, RETRO, based on the land use and transport models for determination of implementation paths for marginal social cost pricing of passenger transport in Greater Oslo. Marginal social cost pricing strategies are assessed through welfare maximisation with respect to...

Background: There is comprehensive evidence of the positive health effects of physical activity, and transport authorities can enable this by developing infrastructure for cycling and walking. In particular, cycling to work or to school can be a relatively high intensity activity that by itself...

Since the share obtaining net health gains might have a huge impact on cost-benefit analysis of new or improved infrastructure for cyclists/pedestrians, it is of importance to estimate this share. A main limitation of our estimation is the cross-sectional design. There is a need for more case...

Transport improvements can give rise to industrial reorganisation benefits. When a monopoly owns all firms and bears the transport costs, these benefits are all captured in a transport cost-benefit analysis (CBA). In the free market case, industrial reorganisation benefits are proportionally...

An increase in the market share of electric vehicles is one possible policy strategy for greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement. Many governments have introduced schemes to increase the market uptake – fiscal incentives, subsidies and various regulatory policies such as support for charging stations,...

The external accident cost of road use is a function of the marginal relationship between road use and accidents, as expressed, for instance, by the elasticity. This elasticity is, however, not necessarily constant, but may be assumed to depend on the traffic volume as seen in relation to road...
