This article examines problems of road and transport infrastructure of Moscow. It considers analytical models of large cities, and the transport problems of Moscow are investigated with the help of these models. A model, describing cause-effect connections between various problems of the road...

Older people are perceived to face different problems while commuting. Studies on mobility of the elderly and … associated constraints are, in Nigeria, recent but scanty. Hence, this paper explores elderly mobility characteristics, commuting …

People spend a lot of time commuting and often find it a burden. According to economics, the burden of commuting is … direct test of this strong notion of equilibrium, we find that people with longer commuting time report systematically lower … this ‘commuting paradox’. …

This paper studies residential, commuting and car ownership decisions in the Greater Wellington Region of New Zealand …, greenspaces and sunlight on decisions. The paper finds that commuting decisions are highly affected by demographic variables, that …

We consider the role of the nonlinear commuting cost function in determination of the equilibrium commuting pattern … where all agents are mobile. Previous literature has considered only linear commuting cost, where in equilibrium, all … workers are indifferent about their workplace location. We show that this no longer holds for nonlinear commuting cost. The …

The ‘teleportation test’ has been used in travel behaviour research for more than a decade, as a means of assessing whether an individual views travel purely as a disutility. The teleportation concept has been used successfully in qualitative research to elicit responses and clarify...

This paper determines the extent to which gasoline price elasticity is affected by the availability of a substitute for driving—public transportation. Measuring the substitutability of public transportation presents an important practical difficulty. To address this, we predict individuals’...

Using disaggregated confidential household data, we estimate spatial variation in household-level gasoline price elasticities and the welfare effects of gasoline taxes. A novel approach allows us to model a discrete-continuous household choice of vehicle bundles, while disaggregating the choice...
