EuropeanACRUDA Urban and suburban railway networks are facing the need for improvements in cruise speed and reduced headways to enhance track capacity. Signalling systems are now widely computerised, but standardisation and a transition to communications-based so ...
EuropeanLibeRTiN The Libertin Thematic Network focuses on light rail and light metro systems. The technical standards concerning light rail/light metro are numerous and differ considerably from one city or a country to another, for various reasons including histo ...
EuropeanB5 (NRP 41) The NRP 41 was launched by the Federal Council at the end of 1995 to improve the scientific basis on which Switzerland's traffic problems might be solved, taking into account the growing interconnection with Europe, ecological limits, and ...
SwitzerlandSIMAURIF A literature review showed that urban transport interaction modelling, the indirect distributional effects of transport and socio-economic assessments of transport are mostly treated in theory and that nothing was found in France on the practical ...
FranceH102N The National Transport Model (NTM) played a key role in the formulation of the UK Government's Ten Year Plan for transport. Since then, it has been undergoing a comprehensive programme of development to make it more integrated and spatially ori ...
United KingdomMany different variables affect car ownership, demand, distribution, mode choice and route choice of transport. The core variable, however, is travel time, hence the importance of values of time. Accordingly, a thorough understanding of it is fundamental ...
