Road tolls are a well established way of dealing with problems of congestion. Over recent years, the literature has expanded to take account of how congestion charges might interact with imperfections in other markets. In this paper, we consider the case where congestion occurs within a complex...

Urban public transport is currently facing increasing difficulties to obtain funding. While the priority is given to sustainable mobility in cities, the development of the supply leads to increasing operating costs, but the receipts from customers is insufficient to cover the expenses. Taking...

This paper describes a benchmark methodology for building a GIS model of the National Road Network in Mexico. A model of the road network is useful because it can help to calculate the shortest route between any two locations linked to the road system. The model estimates an average speed for...

This paper aims to present the basic methodology and results of updated indicators quantifying urban mobility for the city of Thessaloniki. The indicators relating to the supply and demand data are either research results or results of the static traffic model developed for Thessaloniki. Both...

This paper aims at the estimation of road traffic induced environmental pollutants for the city of Thessaloniki, based on travel time detections of a point-to-point detection system. The hourly and daily pollutant emissions (NOx, CO, HC) and fuel consumption (FC) were estimated based on the...

Turkey enjoys a strategic location, with the potential to play a pivotal role in regional and global integration. The important energy, trade and transport networks which connect west to east and north to south are keys to unleashing this potential. Recent economic and political developments...

This paper quantitatively evaluates consumers' willingness to pay for hybrid vehicles by estimating the demand of hybrid vehicles in the U.S. market. Using micro-level data on consumer purchases of hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles from National Household Travel Survey 2009, this paper formulates a...

In this paper, we estimate the demand for road diesel in Canada using aggregate annual data for the period 1986–2008. Using a partial adjustment model (PAM), we find short and long run price elasticities of −0.43 and −0.8 respectively. However, using cointegration techniques, we obtain...

Car use is an increasingly serious problem in many modern cities because of polluting emissions, noise, accidents and congestion. To examine this issue, this paper analyzes the individual choice between taking the car and using alternative transport modes (e.g. walking, cycling, taking the bus...

Transport in Bogotá (Colombia) has been the subject of several papers, but no one has treated the impact of the transport network on the disposition of employment in the city. Improvement of a public transport system such as the Transmilenio is supposed to be beneficial to everyone in the city....
