Word Count (not including abstract, footnotes, figure/table legends or appendices): 5981 2 Abstract Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) will soon start to be introduced into the transportation sector, thereby raising a host of issues related to their use, adoption and effects on the electricity sector. Their introduction has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions from the t...

The paper defines the problem of pricing in general cargo by impact of toll in the first section. Different usage of a vehicle in individual transportation causes that it is not possible to calculate the toll uniformly for every cargo by constant price for the customer in the same transportation. The next part analyses the existing processes of the toll share for general transport described in ...

Electronic ticketing in public transportation based on smart cards is gaining momentum worldwide. It is widely recognized that a smart card system can deliver benefits to both passengers and operators, but due to its complexity, implementation can come at a considerable cost. Therefore, it is likely that a commercial appraisal from the perspective of the public transportation operator alone wou...

The multi-site capacity planning problem with a long term time horizon, with transportation constraints is expanded to consider pricing of the product, the effect of advertisement and competition. We use a modification of the Cobb-Douglas model for consumer utility and include the effect of advertising.

BACKGROUND Accurate information is lacking on the extent of transportation as a source of physical activity, on the physical activity gains from public transportation use, and on the extent to which population shifts in the use of transportation modes could increase the percentage of people reaching official physical activity recommendations. METHODS In 2012-2013, 234 participants of the RECO...

Forecasting urban futures is of great importance to many in order to ensure adequate provision of public and private services and implement policies that guide demand while mitigating negative impacts. This study produces year-2030 predictions of land use and travel conditions across the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area of Texas, by integrating a gravity-based land use model (mod...

Transportation decisions have health consequences that are often not incorporated into policy-making processes. Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a process that can be used to evaluate health effects of transportation policy. We present a rapid HIA, conducted over eight weeks, evaluating health and economic effects of proposed fare increases and service cuts to Boston, Massachusetts' public tra...
