TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a detailed review of six alternative frameworks for modelling urban land-use-transport interaction, including ITLUP, MEPLAN, TRANUS, MUSSA, NYMTC-LUM and UrbanSim.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed scenario analysis to examine the size and cost of potential emission reduction options from the urban transport sector of developing nations in particular, the analysis compares the cost of greenhouse gas emi

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the bases for the internationalization of the port terminal industry and highlighted the important regional differences between Europe and North America, where the lead actors are companies that have arisen out of the industry itself.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the process of achieving more sustainable transportation requires suitable establishment of four pillars: effective governance of land use and transportation; fair, efficient, stable funding; strategic infrastructure investments; and attention to neighbourhood design.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of transport infrastructures on the economic growth of both regions and sectors, distinguishing among modes of transport, is analyzed, and an attempt is also made to capture the spillover effects associated with transport infrastructure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the degree by which the original low-cost model has been modified over the years, and to ascertain whether the degree of adherence to the original model has any impact on the profit level of low cost airlines.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared and assessed the performance of the Smeed Report and Electronic Road Pricing (EPR) in London and Singapore in terms of reducing congestion and raising net revenue.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw on the experiences of two road user charging schemes, namely Electronic Road Pricing in Hong Kong, China, and Congestion Metering in the city of Cambridge, UK, and make comparisons with the way implementation of congestion charging in Central London, UK.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a range of international evidence, including the results of nine modelling assessments, and concluded that with realistic levels of take-up, a direct substitution of car trips by van trips could reduce vehicle-km by 70% or more.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how rough methodologies used in current practice might lead to serious faults in estimating environmental impacts, and they make suggestions for improvements to these methodologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of the energy use in the supply chains for jeans sold in both the UK and France is presented, and the results of this case study indicate that the location from which cotton is sourced can have a major impact on the total energy used in commercial transport in the jeans supply chain.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of container-handling capacity on the basis of different handling systems, yard sizes and crane characteristics is presented, and a useful general equation is then derived and proposed to calculate the total number of 20-foot container ground slots (TGS), or the area requirement per TGS, for different yard sizes with different handling system based on different equipment dimensions.

TL;DR: Melbourne's urban rail and tram systems were privatized in 1999 using a concessioning or franchising model similar to that employed for British Rail in the 1990s, and subsequent negotiations saw the departure of one of the three franchisees and a renegotiation of agreements with the remaining two operators leading to substantial increases in subsidy levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, international data on noise, often produced by using different national calculation methods, was compared and what does it mean for (inter)national noise policy, focusing on international data created by road and railroad traffic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a nine-component analytical framework for developing, comparing, and evaluating road safety strategies, including vision, objectives, targets, action plan, evaluation and monitoring, research and development, quantitative modelling, institutional framework and funding.

TL;DR: A modelling approach for solving quite general network equilibrium problems (with fixed trip productions and attractions) intrinsic to the urban transport planning process is presented and the main results of a simple example are presented to show the consistency of the equilibrium flows and levels of services obtained using the model.

TL;DR: In this article, the degree of involvement of different actors drawn from the maritime industry in developing and commercializing rail services in the changing regulatory environment is analyzed, which highlights the need to reshape the rail freight industry.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of Decision Field Theory is proposed as a framework for a new research agenda, which will include the effects of travel situations (e.g., timing, dynamics and type) as well as of cultural habits and societal norms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that benchmarking is a valuable tool that may indeed help to move forward the transport policy agenda However, there are major conditions and limitations that it is often not straightforward to measure and compare transport services in order to establish a clear benchmark.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an overview on the developments in the South and discuss options for renewable sources of energy in transportation, which are expected to be solutions for oil shortages and greenhouse effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the factors that affect the airport choice of freighter operators through a review of the published literature, including passenger hub location, airport quality and airline network configuration, and other works relating to airport choice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that demand-oriented measures of quality lead to a systematic overestimate of quality as experienced by travellers in public transport, and make a plea for putting more effort in measuring demandoriented quality measures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine to what extent increased barge transport offers an alternative for road transport, and which barge innovations can be implemented successfully and evaluate their potential to enlarge the barge market.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present ESCOT, a System Dynamics Model for Economic Assessment of Sustainability Policies of Transport (ESCOT) to describe a path towards a sustainable transport system in Germany and to assess its economic impacts.

TL;DR: It is concluded that no definitive measure of convenience can be produced for rail travel, although a proxy measure, based upon categorization, containing some or all of the defined elements should be possible.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the sources of productivity change in bus transit systems in the USA between 1985 and 1997 by using the nonparametric Malmquist total factor productivity index.

TL;DR: Although per-capita car trip distance and car driving distance in the UK have kept increasing, their growth rates slowed considerably in the 1990s as discussed by the authors, indicating that car trips and driving distances were becoming less frequent.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated shoppers' image structure of transport modes and their comparative perception ratings for the various modes of transportation for shopping purposes, and found that the car recorded the highest overall perceptio...

TL;DR: In this article, a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) methodology is presented to identify various types of risks associated with the implementation and use of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
