Does pollution drive achievement? : the effect of traffic pollution on academic performance
Heissel, Jennifer; Persico, Claudia; Simon, David - 2019
We examine the effect of school traffic pollution on student outcomes by leveraging variation in wind patterns for schools the same distance from major highways. We compare within-student achievement for students transitioning between schools near highways, where one school has had greater...

Stick to the plan? : a revealed-preference study of behavioural impacts of traffic information
Tseng, Yin-Yen; Knockaert, Jasper; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2010 - This version: 14/07/10
We estimate a revealed-preference scheduling model of morning peak behaviour that allows us to determine the impact of traffic information on traveller behaviour. Specifically, we distinguish between the marginal impact of expected travel times versus that of deviations from this expectation...

A model of rush-hour traffic in an isotropic downtown area
Arnott, Richard; Kokoza, Anatolii; Naji, Mehdi - 2015
For a quarter century, a top priority in transportation economic theory has been to develop models of rush-hour traffic dynamics that incorporate traffic jams (hypercongestion). The difficulty has been that "proper" models result in mathematical intractabilty, while none of the proposed...

Long-term transport energy demand and climate policy : alternative visions on transport decarbonization in energy economy models
Pietzcker, Robert C.; Longden, Thomas; Chen, Wenying; … - 2013
Transportation accounts for a substantial share of CO2 emissions, and decarbonizing transport will be necessary to … limit global warming to below 2°C. Due to persistent reliance on fossil fuels, it is posited that transport is more … difficult to decarbonize than other sectors. We test this hypothesis by comparing long-term transport energy demand and emission …

Coordinated delay management at intermodal transport hubs
Scheelhaase, Janina; Scheier, Benedikt; Grunewald, Erik; … - In: Wirtschaftsdienst : Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftspolitik 102 (2022) 7, pp. 552-557
Der Beitrag zeigt anhand einer typischen Verspätungssituation an einem intermodalen Verkehrsknoten die verkehrlichen und ökonomischen Effekte dieser Verspätung für verschiedene Stakeholder auf (Störfallszenario). Weiterhin wird ein Szenario zur Verbesserung der Verspätungssituation, in dem...
