Showing papers in "Transport Policy in 2002"

TL;DR: Vulnerability in the road transportation system, studied not only from a safety point of view but also as a problem of an insufficient level of service, is proposed as a setting for future transport studies as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework is presented that may be utilized when analyzing changes in household travel arising from the range of potential measures available to policy makers, with its basis in goal setting and control theories.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe lessons and recommendations on how to improve accountability in decision making on very large infrastructure investments in Denmark and Germany, and present four specific measures to increase accountability: transparency, performance specifications, explanation of regulatory regimes, and involvement of risk capital.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze whether or not there is evidence indicating a significant preference for rail travel over bus, and, if such a preference exists, to learn about the characteristics that affect it and cause it to vary from one situation to another.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the evidence that travel plans have their intended effect, which is to reduce the number of employees commuting alone by car to their place of work, and present a conceptual model of travel plan development to analyse the development of travel plans in a number of case studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the mobility-accessibility distinction to distinguish different implementations of congestion pricing, and propose a mobility-based congestion pricing scheme that improves the overall regional accessibility as it accelerates metropolitan deconcentration.

TL;DR: In this paper, a structured approach to accessibility analysis is described as part of the development of a new structure plan for Edinburgh and the Lothians, and demonstrates how an integration index can be developed from accessibility measures to help compare alternative approaches.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated what the future may offer with respect to toll financing in Norway and found that the changing environment in which transport planning takes place requires adaptations such as transforming tolls into congestion pricing schemes, which may be useful for decision makers in Europe and elsewhere who are concerned with toll financing.

TL;DR: This article found that good public transport can deter car ownership, with 65% of respondents stating that they are unlikely to buy a car in the next 5 years, while car ownership and use is extremely low.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of analytical procedures has been developed for identifying the locations for imposing charges and the charges at those points which are optimal in terms of economic efficiency, and the results show that charging points selected by even a simple analytical procedure can achieve economic benefits around 50% higher than predefined cordons.

TL;DR: In this article, travel survey data collected at two bridges with differential time of day tolls in the Lee County area of Florida in the United States was used to predict travelers' response to variable pricing.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore how the international character of the TEN may be recognized and incorporated in still predominantly national evaluation processes, and which evaluation horizons may be broadened based on the concepts of network effects and European value added (EVA).

TL;DR: In this article, the gap between present transport prices and efficient transport prices is analyzed, i.e., those prices that maximise economic welfare, including external costs (congestion, air pollution, accidents).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the relationship between use of information and communications technology and personal travel highlighting the importance of social issues in gauging whether or not a net positive effect in terms of travel demand and tripmaking can arise from increasing use of the Internet.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the specific causes and consequences of this new situation, including the perverse incentives, linked to the diversity of the objectives across the actors and to the risk allocation induced by the regulatory regime.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the revenue generated using a hybrid policy would be as great as for an area based scheme whilst at the same time delivering substantially greater benefits to road users in terms of travel time and other savings.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model that stresses the importance of high sunk and fixed costs in this market and empirical evidence for increasing returns to scale in the cost function of The Netherlands Railways is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider how changes in the fabric of society and its values, a subject usually considered to be outside the conventional scope of the transport profession, can have a profound impact on travel demand.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the findings of analyses, conducted to identify regularities and differences underlying various aspects of activity-travel patterns across a set of cities, regions in the world.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate how European majors have responded to the liberalised policy, especially European Commission Regulation 2407/92, and analyze the impact of these strategies for airlines and the EU-US relationship in terms of airline alliances.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a survey of specialist knowledge concerning the processes of economic change that could impact business performance in city centres surrounded by road user charging cordons.

TL;DR: The Melbourne City Link Project (MCL) as mentioned in this paper is a fully electronic road tolling system, which was developed as a toll system relying totally on electronic toll collection and used for the first time in Australia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined time and cost project development efficiencies between voter or legislatively approved projects and projects with standard scopes and found no significant evidence that state highway projects with highly defined, voter or legislation approved project scopes, time, or costs are any more likely to have lower project development costs or times than projects with non-voter approved scopes.

TL;DR: In this article, a discussion of a paper entitled "Traffic 2042: Mosaic of a Vision" by H. H. Topp, published in this issue of this journal, is presented.

TL;DR: The M obiplan tool as discussed by the authors provides information on the personal, social and environmental effects of long-range decisions in order to highlight them and, as well, to influence these decisions and, in turn, the daily space-time-behavior that derives from them.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a view of what transportation and traffic may be like in the year 2042, through a mosaic of topics: city, edge city and suburbia development; post-material lifestyles; car use without car ownership; virtual mobility; intermodal transport; hydrogen-powered cars; privatized road network and road fees; and automatic driving.
