Quantitative impacts of mobility pricing scenarios on mobility behaviour and spatial planning (SVI_2005_005)
Overview
Background & policy context:
Many countries and regions are now discussing the introduction of mobility pricing as a possible solution for growing transport and environment problems. Mobility pricing means restructuring the pricing schema for motorized private transport (MPT) and public transport (PuT) to a more user charge system and in order to influence transport demand. For MPT this is also known as road pricing.
Objectives:
The results of this project will show the impacts of mobility pricing on the behaviour and the decisions of passengers in Switzerland. The analysis of the different scenarios will demonstrate which change in demand can be expected and which transport policy aims can be reached. Besides the overall demand changes the impacts on departure time, route, mode and destination choice will be calculated. Furthermore the project will give evidence on the impact of mobility pricing on the utilisation of the transport infrastructure, the spatial development and the environment.
