Transportation policies and plans encourage non-motorized transportation and the establishment of performance measures to assess progress towards multi-modal system goals. Challenges in fostering walking and bicycling include the lack of data for measuring rates of walking and bicycling over time and 5! differences in pedestrians and bicyclists and the trips they make. This paper analyzes trave...

We consider a problem in which a supplier must determine the transportation mode for product deliveries to satisfy demand from a set of retailers. Based on combinations of four possible transportation modes, we consider seven different distribution policies on set of instances derived from data from an Italian company. For three demand scenarios (low, moderate, high), we compare the performance...

In this paper, we examine basic transportation and land use characteristics from a selection of cities in Africa, China, Latin America, and South Asia. By definition, poorer than their industrialized country counterparts, developing cities are in a stage of rapid dynamism. From a mobility perspective, perhaps the single most influencing factor is motorization – the growth in motor vehicle owner...

Informal transportation services are often associated with safety risks, as the use of old vehicles in poor condition does not guarantee and comfort users. Currently, existing public Kota Kinabalu cover entire city area, which has led to existence informal mode, namely unpermitted busses meet users’ demand. The purpose this study was assess user acceptance bus Kinabalu, Sabah. A survey done usi...

This paper uses simple game theory to analyze a situation where two agents compete in the transport market. The modeling frame is that of a mode choice model, where the two mode options are boat or car transportation. The basic findings are that non pareto optimal (car, car) equilibrium outcomes, may occur in a surprisingly large amount of cases. Additionally, the possible different Nash equili...
