Showing papers in "Journal of Transport Geography in 2001"

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have developed a new approach based on defining the set of necessary conditions for economic development to take place -in addition to the economic conditions, there are the investment conditions and the political and institutional conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the accessibility impact of the future Madrid-Barcelona-French border high-speed line by means of three indicators: weighted average travel times, economic potential and daily accessibility.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse how monocentric and policentric urban structures affect modal choice and travel distances for different travel purposes in the Netherlands, based on data from the Dutch National Travel Survey 1998.

TL;DR: This paper developed multinomial logit models of residential location choice for two-worker households in the San Francisco Bay Metropolitan Area to identify household characteristics that account for the relative differences in household sensitivity to female and male commutes when making residential choices.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the idea of endogenous hub location on a network and find that hub networks may emerge naturally out of a set of assumptions and conditions borrowed from equilibrium traffic assignment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new type of accessibility measure that can be used to estimate if jobs are accessible for employees based on a traditional potential accessibility measure, weighted for travel time (or distance).

TL;DR: In this paper, a special issue of the Journal of Transport Geography sheds light on the obstinate relationship between mobility and spatial dynamics, and two classic causalities are dealt with: spatial dynamics influencing mobility; and mobility leading to certain forms of spatial dynamics.

TL;DR: In the early 1970s, transport costs were among the most important explanatory factors in economic geography and theories of regional and industrial development, but during the 1970s transportation and transport costs disappeared almost completely out of mainstream development theory and economic geography as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of highway development on the pattern of accessibility gradients are analyzed, trying to draw implications for regional growth, showing that highway investment exhibits diminishing returns over time.

TL;DR: Several popular notions exist in the transportation and transport geography literature that should more properly be viewed as popular myths as discussed by the authors, such as the likelihood of telecommuting reducing urban travel, the promise of ethanol as an alternative transport fuel, the future demand for public transit by senior citizens, and the role of network connectivity in accessibility and economic growth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that most transport analysis goes on to treat transport like any other good and that there should be a reconsideration of the links between transport and socioeconomic activity.

TL;DR: Hong Kong-based Hutchison Port Holdings has been successful in capturing Mainland China's container port joint venture market share as discussed by the authors, which is explained by socio-cultural and political factors within the context of China's economic articulation with the global economy, and the institutional medium of a time-space governance embedded within the political economy of pre- and post-1997 Hong Kong.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show which conditions and strategies are needed to introduce light rail successfully in the Netherlands and focus on the opportunities to create synergy between public transport and urban revitalization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Stoomtram Hoorn-Medemblik is considered and a qualitative methodology is adopted to unpack the tourist gaze, to view ideas of heritage and authenticity in their historical and modern contexts.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of domestic tourists travelling by car to Cornwall, a popular UK holiday destination, has been analyzed and various factors that influence whether or not tourists avoid congestion have been hypothesised.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of long-haul routes identifies trends and patterns underlying their development, and five distinct perspectives: geography, regulation, manufacturers, passengers and airlines are taken to investigate the drivers of longhaul route development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the findings of an ongoing research project, which seeks to evaluate the extent to which recently published local cycle strategies reflect best practice as enshrined in the model guidance, and suggest that the level of take up of the model strategy is highly variable and ranges from authorities which adopt the model in its entirety to those that effectively ignore it.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the railways' impact in Romania up to the First World War and found that the railways themselves constituted a major industry and they stimulated a good deal of business through demands for materials which were met increasingly from the within the national economy.

TL;DR: In this article, a traffic model to forecast the passenger flows during the evening rush in 2010 is used to analyse the impact of different policy measures to reduce traffic problems in the Antwerp region.

TL;DR: A technique for abstracting features of a highway network as complex topology on a planar graph is presented, providing policy-makers with a tool for evaluating the competing priorities of international, national, and regional interests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the historical impact of central government policy on the planning and ownership of UK airports with particular reference to development at Ringway, Manchester, and argue that during a crucial period in the creation of airport infrastructure, Central government policy proved equivocal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the way transport infrastructure may affect factors that can initiate cumulative economic growth processes at the regional level, and the theoretical foundation for the study is external effects as the vehicle for cumulative growth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the potential impacts on individuals' activity participation patterns of several institutional policies recently proposed in The Netherlands, such as extra holiday for full-time employees, flexible work time and extended shopping hours.
