Environmental issues have received a prominent place in transport policies of most European countries. The coordination of such policies however, is fraught with many difficulties. The increasing freight flows after the European integration are a source of concern, but have not yet led to...

The present paper aims to analyse interregional freight transport movements in Europe in order to forecast spatio-temporal patterns of new transport economic scenarios. In view of the high dimension of our data-base on transport flows, two different approaches are compared, viz. the logit model...

The present paper aims at developing a new research approach based on the synergy concept as a driving force in network analysis and modelling. Starting from some introductory reflections identifying the role of network synergy in regional development and transportation science, the paper aims...

The present paper aims to analyse interregional freight transport movements in Europe with a view on forecasting future patterns of transport flows using simple economic scenarios. In view of the high dimension of our data-base on transport flows, two different approaches are compared, viz. the...

This paper addresses the issue of innovative behaviour of firms in an urban European context. It aims to identify key factors for innovation at the local level, based on micro survey information from firms. In seeking for prominent explanatory variables for entrepreneurial innovation in various...

This paper aims to compare the descriptive and predictive power of two classes of statistical estimation models for multimodal network flows, viz. the logit model and the neural network model. The application concerns a large data set on inter-regional European freight flows for two commodity...

In this paper we analyse interregional freight transport movements in Europe with a view on new spatial patterns based on transport economic scenarios for environmental sustainability. Two different approaches are compared. viz. the logit model and the neural network model. The paper will...

Er is al veel geschreven over de kritische succesfactoren van diverse economische beleidsmodellen. Het Nederlandse "poldermodel" wordt vaak als een voorbeeldmodel gezien door en voor de overige Europese landen. Als men de zoeker richt op beleidsmodellen buiten Europa, dan valt het...

Connectivity and isolation problems have become a source of policy interest in all European countries, largely as a result of the goal of the completion of the internal market. Against this background, the present paper aims to analyze the future position of the Aegean passenger shipping system....

Electric cars may significantly contribute to a reduction in external costs of urban transport; their introduction is however fraught with difficulties. This paper investigates by means of a scenario analysis which conditions have to be fulfilled for a successful introduction in the city of...
