Verkehrssicherheit ist eine Grundvoraussetzung für nachhaltige Mobilität. Verkehrsunfälle haben - neben originären ethischen Aspekten - sowohl Einfluss auf die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung, da sie Ressourcen binden und die Leistungsfähigkeit des Verkehrssystems beeinflussen als auch auf die...

Road safety forms a fundamental prerequisite for sustainable mobility. Road accidents have an effect on the performance of the road traffic system and also bind resources. Therefore, apart from ethical aspects, road accidents have an enormous influence on the social acceptability of road traffic...

extreme weather conditions is that of personal travel, including commuting, an activity that is done daily by millions of … workers worldwide. Within this framework, we estimate the effects of weather conditions on daily commuting and travel choices … workers, finding significant relationships between daily weather conditions, commuting time, and travel choices. Rainy days …

We study the long-term impact of job displacement on workers' commuting behavior. Our measures of commuting exploit geo …-coordinates of workers' places of residence and places of work, from which we calculate the door-to-door commuting distance and … commuting time. Using German employee-employer matched data and an event study design, we identify the causal effect of job loss …

This paper considers the impact of the introduction of a metro network in the Copenhagen metropolitan area. Using travel surveys from years before and after the opening of the metro network, we observe a significant change in travel times, speeds and mode choice for commutes that can completely...

In 1987 the federal government permitted states to raise the speed limit on their rural interstate roads, but not on their urban interstate roads, from 55 mph to 65 mph for the first time in over a decade. Since the states that adopted the higher speed limit must have valued the travel hours...

We design and estimate a game theoretic congestion pricing mechanism in which the regulator aims at reducing urban traffic congestion by price discriminating travelers according to their value of time (VOT). Travelers' preferences depend on their observable characteristics, on the endogenous...

We employ a semi-parametric estimation approach to analyse observed and unobserved heterogeneity in the value of savings in travel time and schedule delay. Our econometric approach allows for the estimation of unobserved and observed heterogeneity in preferences in a flexible way, meaning that...
