Intelligent Vehicle Safety Systems (IVSS) promise significant traffic safety improvements, which means from a societal point of view that resource savings can be realized and the allocative efficiency can be optimized. Therefore, transport policy has a high willingness to support and to ensure...

Island regions are generally dependent on transport services in order to retain cohesion with the mainland and for their socioeconomic development. Europe with its geography presents a number of island areas, with distinct characteristics, and transport needs. This paper focuses on the...

This paper uses a model developed by T. TABUCHI (1993). It examines simultaneously the travelers? scheduling behavior during peak-period congestion and the commuters modal split between car and mass transit for the journey to work. Contrary to his model, our analysis focuses on travel time...

This paper derives empirically tractable formulas for the welfare effects of fare adjustments in passenger peak and off-peak rail and bus transit, and for optimal pricing of those services. The formulas account for congestion, pollution, accident externalities, scale economies, and agency...

Estimar los impactos específicos de una reforma integral del sistema de transporte público de una gran ciudad es una tarea compleja, debido a las numerosas variables confundentes que usualmente enmascaran los efectos específicos. Este trabajo estima el impacto que la reforma integral del...

Die hohe Mobilität der Bevölkerung trägt zur Teilhabe am Arbeitsmarkt und am gesellschaftlichen Leben bei. Dabei ist der Mobilitätsbedarf stark von der Lebenssituation abhängig; so haben Studenten und Erwerbstätige die höchste Verkehrsnachfrage. Anders als in früheren Jahrzehnten wächst...

This paper exploits the results of a survey conducted by the Bank of Italy in 2012 on a sample of 1,200 Italian manufacturers in order to analyse logistics costs, outsourcing and the features potentially impacting on the efficiency of the Italian supply chain. We also compare manufacturers'...

The opening to competition in Germany's regional railway transport is interesting to investigate as some EU countries find it difficult to move towards the implementation of European Union Guidelines. In this paper, we investigate Leipzig's regional passenger railway services opening to...

This discussion paper resulted in a publication in <A HREF="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019126151300043X">'Transportation Research Part B: Methodological'</A>, 2013, 53, 31-44. We analyse the behaviour of market participants in a multi-modal commuter network where roads are not priced, but public transport has a usage fee, which is set while taking the...</a>

The efficient pricing of infrastructures as well as the internalisation of the external costs of transport have been key aspects of the European Transport Policy during the last fifteen years. This way the European Parliament and Commission aim to ensure that the transport pricing policy mirrors...
