This paper presents a study on appraisal of the Betuweroute, a 160 kilometre dedicated freight railway line connecting the port of Rotterdam with the German Ruhr area. The Betuweroute is an interesting example of a major investment in railroads for several reasons. Political decision making on...

We consider a slightly adapted version of the general equilibrium model with possibly nonconvex production technologies presented by Villar (1994). Typical for such models is that the behaviour of a producer is modelled by a pricing rule that relates market prices and production vectors - a...

This paper aims to trace the consequences of various global scenarios for the transportation system and the environment. After a review and the identification of four new world scenario's, the implications for sustainable transport are mapped out. The methodology is illustrated by means of a...

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...
