SHAPES Commuter cycling can enhance the long-term physical health of the general population. But it is not well understood whether cyclists are exposed to higher risks due to air pollution and accidents. A non-marginal shift to cycling helps to realise a ...
BelgiumLIMOBEL LIMOBEL deals with three priority research areas that are interrelated: transport and mobility, energy and environmental issues. It is well known that, while generating many benefits, transport also causes many problems, of which congestion, accid ...
BelgiumMOBLOC The research project aims at analysing retroactions between demographics and evolution of mobilitiy at different time-scales. In particular, location choice for households, daily accessibility and internal migrations appear to have strong interacti ...
BelgiumISEEM The ISEEM project aims at becoming an interdisciplinary network of researchers. It covers subjects such as economic development and endogenous growth, land and resource use, commuting and transportation, location of economic activities and housing m ...
BelgiumPROLIBIC Within the research programme ‘Science for a Sustainable Development’ (SSD) a number of cluster projects were defined. These clusters aimed at gathering knowledge from different individual projects as well as giving support to policy makers. Ener ...
BelgiumMD/DD/17 It is well known that the inland navigation generates less negative impacts in term of congestion, safety and environmental pollution than the road. It is thus important to understand what are the main barriers which hinder a shifting of cargo fr ...
BelgiumDSSITP The objectives of this project were to find ways to enhance the growth of intermodal barge and rail transport. Both combinations have a particular market structure and operations, but it is important to analyse them together in order to take care o ...
BelgiumMD/DD/02 This project has taken up the challenge to gain more insight into the complex relation between freight transport and welfare. It has used the knowledge and experience of the three teams involved. The UFSIA team has investigated, on the one hand, ...
BelgiumMD/DD/16 The research aimed at drawing lines of actions for public policies to foster sustainable mobility in and around Brussels. In so doing, it has translated in practical terms the abstract concept of sustainable development in the field of mobility. ...
BelgiumCP/37 Sustainable mobility at the local level, in cities, towns or districts, requires a balance between accessibility, livable conditions and environmental quality. Despite technological progress and strict standards for new vehicles, a balanced local tr ...
BelgiumADICCT In Belgium, as in many other developed countries, car traffic has steadily increased in recent decades. Volumes of traffic have become too high for the road capacity, especially under specific circumstances such as the weekday peak hours. This cong ...
BelgiumBMW Analysing mobility demand leads more and more research to take behaviour patterns in to account. One of the most serious approaches is activity-based models. The main idea in this promising line of thought is to view traffic not as a standalone phenom ...
BelgiumDWTC169 Transport and sustainable development are undoubtedly linked to each other. The fact that the car is the most commonly used transport mode has obvious negative effects on the environment. The predictions for car use do not promise an immediate cha ...
BelgiumESTIMATE Rising concerns over the continuous growth in car use and the increasingly intolerable externalities have generated particular interest in how transport planning policies might at least moderate the pressures in growth in personal mobility and su ...
BelgiumMESsAGE For the elderly, mobility is a precondition for a high quality life. Pursuing transportation autonomy among elderly has become an important task for local policy makers. Traffic safety, accessibility and availability of transport means, the design ...
BelgiumINTERACT INTERACT is a cluster of four research units in the framework of the "Science for Sustainable Development Programme", addressing access to places and transport from different, complementary angles: accessibility and performance of infra ...
BelgiumPROMOCO More company cars are sold every year in Belgium. Moreover, existing analysis indicates that the annual mileage covered by company cars is significantly above that of private cars. This phenomenon and its effects on the general mobility can thus b ...
BelgiumSUSTAPARK A lot of cities in Belgium are struggling with parking problems. Having too much parking spaces for cars causes traffic problems, congestion, emissions, noise, and, above all, over-consumption of expensive land. Too little parking has also disad ...
BelgiumCLEVER The finite nature of oil resources and the associated political and economic effects presents the need to assess alternative energy sources and to reduce dependency on imported oil. In addition to these energy aspects, there are important environme ...
