Relationship Between Transport Accessibility and Land Value: Local Model Approach with Geographically Weighted Regression Journal Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board Publisher Transportation Research Board of the National Academies ISSN 0361-1981 Issue Volume 1977 / 2006 Category Planning and Administration Pages 197-205 DOI 10.3141/1977-25 Online Date Wednesday, February 28, 2007 Add to marked items Add to shopping cart Add to saved items Recommend this article PDF (512.5 KB) Authors Hongbo Du1, Corinne Mulley1 1Transport Operations Research Group, School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU, United Kingdom Abstract In recent years, land value capture has attracted increasing attention because of its potential for funding transport infrastructure. It is well acknowledged that transport infrastructure can improve accessibility to employment and amenities; thus one might expect that it is the improved accessibility that adds value to land. Therefore, the issues in the relationship between transport accessibility and land value rise in connection with the concept of land value capture. A study looked at the relationship between transport accessibility and land value with the implication of a local model, geographically weighted regression (GWR). Traditional techniques, such as hedonic models, used to understand the attributes of land value, are global models that could be misleading in examining the spatially varying relationships, such as transport accessibility and land value. By using the Tyne and Wear region in the United Kingdom as a case study, the study revealed that nonstationarity existing in the relationship between transport accessibility and land value indicates that transport accessibility may have a positive effect on land value in some areas but a negative or no effect in others; this suggests that a uniform land value capture would be inappropriate. The use of GWR

Although positive incentives have been successfully applied in various domains to influence behavior, they have received limited attention in transportation. This paper reports on the Dutch 'Spitsmijden' ('Peak Avoidance') project, in which travelers received positive incentives if they avoided travelling in the peak by car. Incentives could be financial (3 to 7 EURO per day) or credits to earn a smartphone at the end of the experiment. Travelers' responses were measured using electronic detection equipment and travel diaries. The results of the study indicate that positive incentives are able to reduce the amount of peak traffic of the participants by about 60%. Travelers mainly responded to the incentives by shifting their car trips to the periods before and after the peak period. Although the experiment was intended to achieve a structural change in travel behavior, we observed that travelers returned to the peak period when the incentives ended.

Differences between jurisdictions suggest route design is key to improving safety and increasing ridership. Previous studies faced difficulties in effectively assessing denominators for risk calculations and controlling confounding. This paper describes the advantages of the case-crossover design of the Bicyclists' Injuries and the Cycling Environment study to address these challenges to observational studies of cycling safety. Methods Injured cyclists were recruited from the emergency departments of five hospitals in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. In 18 months, 690 participants were successfully recruited and interviewed. Each participant was interviewed to map the route of their injury trip, identify the injury site and select two control site

Transport and the Urban Environment Jean-Paul Rodrigue Context Increasing urbanization and mobility has brought forward new dimensions of environmental issues, notably transportation. Urban transportation is now a source of several environmental problems. This course investigates the numerous dimensions involved, from environmental externalities induced by air, water, noise and hazardous materials pollution to socio-economic externalities imposed by land use, safety, and congestion. All these problems are fundamental to the issue of urban and transport sustainability. Policy formulation is the next major challenge and will have to include strategies that consider environmental and socio-economic externalities alike. Objective This course aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the role, function, extent and impacts of urban transportation over environmental systems. It is divided in two major parts, one conceptual and one methodological.

Submitted by Nick Nigro | 05/02/2011 This post first appeared in Txchnologist. It is too early to pick the ultimate car of the future. Plug-in electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and biofuel vehicles are currently in contention, but it is quite possible that no single alternative will dominate the future the way that gasoline-powered cars own our roads today. The competition will be fierce because these new technologies will not only be competing against each other, but also against the ever-improving internal combustion engine. By 2035, it's quite possible a new gasoline-powered car will get 50 mpg and a hybrid-electric car (like the Toyota Prius) will achieve 75 mpg. Whatever technologies win out, it is clear the societal costs of oil are too high. The price at the pump fails to include all the national security and environmental costs of exploration, extraction, distribution, and consumption of oil. Since oil appears cheaper to the consumer than its true cost to society, we end up consuming more than we should. We send hundreds of billions of dollars out of our economy each year - $330 billion in 2010 alone - to oil producers with monopoly power instead of investing the money here at home. Considering that 70 percent of the oil Americans consume is used to get us where we need to go (by land, sea, and air), moving away from oil challenges our relationship with our cars. Although recent trends indicate we're increasing the efficiency of our vehicle fleet, we clearly have a long way to go - our cars and light trucks consume almost 8 million barrels of oil per day. In a report the Pew Center on Global Climate Change released in January, the authors laid out a path for moving away from oil as our dominant transportation fuel through action on three fronts: technological progress, targeted public policies, and a commitment from Americans as consumers and citizens. The critical takeaway from this yearlong study sponsored by the Transportation Research Board of the

Non-Motorised Transport Many urban residents in developing countries and emerging economies rely on cycling or walking but with economic growth, the Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) share in transport systems is being threatened. Yet, NMT or Active Transport (AT) bears a relevant potential in low carbon transport scenarios  and in urban mitigation action. This makes NMT a key element in the transition of transport policies to sustainable mobility. Cycling - Half of all trips in cities are short and within cycling distance. The protection (and revitalisation) of cycling in Asia and the promotion of cycling elsewhere have to become an ingredient in comprehensive mobility plans to mitigate GHG emission in developing country parties of the IPCC. Cycling bears substantial significance for avoiding emissions, poverty alleviation and development. The first results of calculating the carbon value of cycling can be found here. The earlier cycling expertise is brought into transport and urban planning processes, the larger the long term benefits from a cycling inclusive transport system will be. The post 2012 framework should lever government investments in planning for such systems. We can build upon the transition in transport strategy by, among others, the multilateral development banks. Local, national or international strategies and plans should be translated into Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). The NAMA framework can become a stimulus for most of the developing country parties to take up planning for cycling but only if cycling's GHG reduction potential and other benefits to society are better understood and made measurable, reportable and verifiable. The Global Cycling Coalition aims at contributing to SLoCaT's work program on this.

ECTRI, the European Conference of Transport Research Institutes, is an international non-profit organisation that was founded in April 2003. Its members are 28 major transport research institutes or universities from 20 European countries. Together, they account for more than 4000 European scientific and research staff in the field of transport. ECTRI's aim is to help build the "European Research Area" (ERA) in transport by cooperation in thematic and process oriented working groups, task forces, Framework Programme projects, seminars and conferences.

Abstract Background and aim   The objective of this paper is to develop an alternative framework for evaluation of performance in freight transport, based on heterodox service economics. Traditionally, transport performance is analysed through productivity measures, even though the conceptual, methodological and practical problems of these indicators are well established in the literature. Methods   The paper develops and applies a typology of transport service configurations. The empirical analysis uses data from a large scale transport survey and from case studies in France. Result   The result of this analysis is an array of performance indicators, each one corresponding to specific types of transport services. Conclusion   We conclude that there is not a single way of achieving performance in freight transport, but a variety of service configurations, each of them having a particular logic of performance.

This paper develops a probabilistic, competing-destinations, assignment model that predicts changes in the spatial pattern of the working population as a result of transport improvements. The choice of residence is explained by a new non-parametric model, which represents an alternative to the popular multinominal logit model. Travel times between zones are approximated by a normal distribution function with different mean and variance for each pair of zones, whereas previous models only use average travel times. The model's forecast error of the spatial distribution of the Dutch working population is 7% when tested on 1998 base-year data. To incorporate endogenous changes in its causal variables, an almost ideal demand system is estimated to explain the choice of transport mode, and a new economic geography inter-industry model (RAEM) is estimated to explain the spatial distribution of employment. In the application, the model is used to forecast the impact of six mutually exclusive Dutch core-periphery railway proposals in the projection year 2020
