The European Commission years ago adopted a policy of encouraging the substitution of motor carrier haulage of freight with rail and water carrier haulage, as part of its "green" agenda of reducing fuel consumption, emission of pollutants, carbon intensity, and road congestion. Regarding railway...

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...

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 presents a theoretical network programming formulation of the extended gateway concept in port hinterland container logistics. The model represents a novel extension of the inward interport model developed by Iannone and Thore (2010), as it simultaneously incorporates economic,...

For decades, public transport has been one of the major problems faced by Bogota city. TransMilenio, the massive transport system, was introduced seeking for an improvement in public transport’s efficiency and productivity, and its main purpose is to achieve a reduction in the passenger’s...

Italian Abstract: Questo lavoro sfrutta i risultati di un'indagine svolta dalla Banca d'Italia nel 2012 presso un campione di 1.200 imprese manifatturiere italiane per analizzare i costi e il grado di esternalizzazione della logistica e i possibili ostacoli che impattano negativamente sul...

The routes of early railways around the world were generally inefficient because the prevailing doctrine of the time called for concentrating on provision of fast service between major cities and neglect of local traffic. Modern planners rely on methods such as the "gravity models of spatial...
