<title>Abstract</title> Decarbonizing road transport is crucial for global climate goals, especially in developing countries with rising motorization. This study assesses the economic cost and lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of low-carbon passenger Africa. Using Monte Carlo optimization models, we compare total ownership GHG battery-electric vehicles (BEV) powered by solar off-grid (SOG) systems synthetic fuel-fueled to that fossil-fueled ones, neglecting policy-induced distortions...
Multimodal passenger transportation has received renewed attention in industrialized countries as a more sustainable and environmentally sensitive alternative to the uncontrolled growth car travel. As result there been diverse range of policy planning guidelines supporting, promoting, evaluating seamless multimodal travel alternatives. Few attempts, however, have made at quantifying space-time implications on behavior activity patterns individuals. This research is concerned with an analysis...
The results of a project conducted to compare and evaluate new activity diary design with two more-traditional formats are discussed. was as part research program involving several groups in the Netherlands. stage-based diary, day-planner format, format representing combination is reported. Some small-scale qualitative quantitative analyses were carried out on basis pilot survey. three evaluated their trip-reporting rates, rounding time, missing activities, overlapping begin end times....
The present study sets out to provide an ex ante insight into the equity effects of a toll charge on traffic diversions and geographical accessibility work locations in Cape Town metropolitan region, South Africa. Based static assignment model aggregate measures, computed GIS environment, were estimated for different income categories both reference scenario two scenarios. findings indicate that particularly low-income commuters will divert alternative routes. However, results also...
National census data contain information on place of residence and work. It is possible to combine this information~and create journey-to-work flows. The process establishing these flows are presented in paper. intramax method explained used identify functional regions based upon Interesting applications, such as the demarcation South Africa considered solutions disputed areas put forward. creation current provincial boundaries discussed. New boundaries, analysis proposed for four or five...
An activity space is a spatial expression of individual behavior that can play role in visualizing and analyzing travel behavior. In this article, we use the data two-day tracking experiment to explore whether accessibility opportunities as represented through spaces associate with different characteristics, including willingness consider more sustainable modes transport. Simultaneously, draw attention question how represent spaces. Using 95 respondents, introduce point-of-interest an...
Background: Transport affordability is a significant concern for South African households, who spend nearly fifth of their budgets on transport. Contributing factors include lack affordable public transport options and spatial mismatch. Since 2015, stagnating national declining share allocated to the portfolio have exacerbated household expenses, limiting economic mobility.Objectives: This article examines how changes in expenses impact other essential such as food, housing, clothing,...
Background: A good quality road network holds numerous benefits to any country, but is dependent on sufficient and stable modes of funding adequate financing. Funding for roads in South Africa complex, controversial faces different viewpoints. In this environment, it difficult implement new form user charges, including the user-pay principle, or promote a sustainable infrastructure policy framework.Objectives: This article examined framework fully understand its capability fund country’s...
Roads support economic development and is one of the key infrastructures South Africa. Funding for roads has been, continues to be, controversial faced with a multitude challenges. The fuel levy, instance, decades been basis road funding, but in recent years it experienced declining effectiveness efficiency. Both African international policy documents frequently propose so-called user-pay principle be adopted fund land transport. It understood that will imply sufficient revenue sustain user,...
