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...

We theoretically study whether an environmentally conscious or “green” citizen ought to bicycle or take public transport to work. Focusing on the criterion of travel time minimization, we construct and analyze a simple stochastic model that sheds light on the above question. Our...

The analysis of the structure and evolution of complex networks has recently received considerable attention. Although research on networks originated in mathematical studies dating back to the nineteenth century (or earlier), and developed further in the mid-twentieth century with contributions...
