When we examine urban growth we often consider the dual relationship between variables that induce growth and variables that halt it. In this paper, we assume a mutual dependence between transportation costs and urban form, and by applying the morphogenetic algorithm, we determine the dynamic...

This paper emphasises the need for adequate travel information as a policy tool to increase the service level of urban public transport. Particular attention is given to the role and competence of public authorities in offering proper travel information systems. Two elements in particular are...

This paper maps out recent trends in transportation, communication and mobility, against the background of the need for comparative research on a Transatlantic basis. Particular attention is given to the importance of the ICT sector. Questions on comparability and transferability are dealt with,...

Current trends in transport indicate that the system is moving away from a sustainable development (e.g., due to rising CO 2- emissions) and that major changes in technology, public policy as well as in the behaviour of individuals are necessary to make the transport system more compatible with...

Regulatory reform in EU transport policy has forced urban public transport authorities to operate increasingly under a market regime. The EU policy favours in particular a system of limited competition through the granting of concessions to public transport operators. This paper seeks to...

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 urban areas underground logistical systems - designed as delivery service to provide shops, industrial sites and office locations - may help to relieve the pressure of the road network in particular in the old inner cities which have to deal with increasing traffic congestion. When shops are...
