In this paper the most relevant results obtained in a survey conducted by 300 users of the "Pablo de Olavide" Seville metro stop are presented. The aim of the paper is twofold. On the one hand, the user profile is analysed: motivations for using the subway, intermodality and flows, whereas, on...

This paper investigates the effect of freight transport time savings (FTTS) on the performance of transport consuming companies. In the first part existing methods on FTTS valuation are critically discussed and their limitations are identified. Following, a conceptual model is built introducing...

The influence of urban form on travel patterns is of growing interest among researchers. It has been notably argued that high density, mixed land use settlements reduce automobile use and distances travelled, hence energy consumption per capita. A precise characterization of urban form calls...

This paper analyses how several spatial variables coming from cities and transportation system can affect money market, specially the income velocity of circulation, assuming an unit-elastic aggregate demand function and considering money velocity as a variable. Fluctuations in velocity caused...

The transport sector - road transport, in particular - accounts for more than half of world oil consumption. In the future, the transport sector's share of oil consumption will grow even more, primarily due to the increasing use of motor vehicles in developing and emerging countries. Road...

Über die Hälfte des weltweiten Ölverbrauchs entfällt auf den Verkehrssektor, insbesondere den Straßenverkehr. Künftig wird der Anteil des Verkehrssektors am Ölverbrauch sogar noch steigen, vor allem aufgrund der zunehmenden Nutzung von Kraftfahrzeugen in Entwicklungs- und...

In this paper, I examine the relationship between housing prices and transport improvements in case of tunnel in a locality in an extremely remote area of Iceland - a village far north called Siglufjörður. It have been documented that transportation improvements tend to influence housing...

We examine effects of urban passenger rail upgrades to Auckland's Western Line, including double tracking, station development, and related urban renewal projects. The results are used to assess anticipated net benefits of the developments. The rail-related upgrades are expected to be completed...

The paper describes a spatial economic agent-based model (ABM), consistent with the principles of new economic geography (NEG), which allows the discrete-time evolutionary simulation of complex interactions of household and firm location choices. In contrast with the current ABM approaches, it...
