The study analyzes how mobility tool usage and ownership as well as residence location choice are affected by rising fuel costs. Based on econometric models, long-term fuel price elasticities are derived. Based on data collected in stated choice and stated adaptation experiments that were conducted as computer-based face-to-face surveys, a structural equation model was estimated. The resulting fuel price elasticities are primarily dependent ...

Shape grammars provide a solid foundation for coherent transport network design, and concurrently reduce complexity of planning processes. Shape grammars describe how network elements ...
