Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the actual walking distance public transport (PuT) stations and report passenger perceptions on route choice. Design/methodology/approach A systematic case study has been conducted after administrating a tailor-made paper-based intercept survey in German city (Munich). It can determine interrelation between accessibility transit service evaluation acceptance. Statistical analysis geo-spatial approach were completed for obtaining major findings....

Tourism—with its social, economic, and ecological dimensions—can be an important driver of sustainable development alpine communities. Tourism is essential for local people's incomes livelihoods, but it can also have a major impact on the environment, landscape aesthetics, (mainly through tourist transport) global climate change. A project currently underway developing Austrian mountain municipality Alpbach into role model competitive year-round tourism using integrated spatially explicit...

Given the increasing negative externalities of tourist mobility at destination, there is a rising demand for reliable data on on-site travel behavior. However, challenges awaiting researchers planning to conduct surveys differ from those known household surveys. In this paper, we critically review existing traditional and tracking methods, evaluate their usefulness surveying tourists. We present rating system, which, based set performance indicators weights, returns weighted scores each...

Compared to cars motorcycles are potentially the more sustainable means of transport. Motorcycles need less space, consume fewer resources, and pollute than with typically low occupancy. Thus, can promotion improve sustainability urban transport systems within an Asian context? The objective this study is investigate how pursuing idea might impact beyond its apparent immediate benefits by considering wider consequences over extended period time. Chiang Mai, a medium-sized regional city in...

Previous research has concentrated on traffic and health-related effects in relation to arrival patterns (e.g., stress connection with means of transport, travel distance, time). However, tourist mobility behavior during a vacation potential associations as well its correlation physical activity habits at home seems have barely been examined. To address this gap, the study hand applied mixed-method approach three tourism destinations Tyrol, Austria. The examined tourists’ their holiday...

ABSTRACT Mobility accounts for the largest share of CO 2 emissions generated by tourism industry. The extent resulting from tourists' long‐distance travel depends strongly on transport mode used. To reduce these emissions, destinations should engage in promoting a shift flying and driving to traveling rail. This study hypothesizes that entire mobility chain, is, at destination, represents an interconnected bundle services. Using data Discrete Choice Experiment conducted with visitors tourist...

Zusammenfassung Anhand von Befragungen in der Tiroler Gemeinde Alpbach wird untersucht, wie weit sich das Bewusstsein für die Zusammenhänge zwischen Tourismus und Klimawandel bei Bewohnern, Beschäftigten Gästen unterscheidet. Zudem eine Gesamtjahresbilanz Mobilität Gästen, Bewohnern des damit verbundenen CO 2 -Ausstoßes dieser abgeschätzt. Zwar ist allen Gruppen ein grundsätzliches Problembewusstsein festzustellen gewisse Bereitschaft Maßnahmen zur Reduktion Energieverbrauch -Emissionen auf...

The Austrian province of Tyrol positions itself as a leading sport region in the Alps, which is reflected number large events it holds. A prominent example 2018 UCI Cycling World Championship. study investigates whether, besides promoting host cycling destination, event can also leverage positive change residents' travel behavior towards active mobility. analysis panel data reveals that respondents have high expectations regarding event's impact on infrastructure and their behavior, but...

This study reviews the perceptions of Chiang Mai city's transport decision makers in relation to development local system. The objective is gain an insight into their views problems, sustainability, and possible mitigations solve problems. information captured through interview a causal loop diagramming (CLD) used assess policies. reveals policy are aware existing yet current assessment how improve system questionable. analysis also strong focus on particular themes 'group-thinking' among...

Abstract This paper presents the Vision Mobility 2050 for region of Munich that has been developed recently. A special focus is laid on process its elaboration based a unique public private cooperation, so-called Inzell-Initiative. The initiative, officially entitled as “Solving Traffic Problems Together” was founded by City and BMW in 1995, to jointly discuss traffic problems look solutions apart from political discussions. Within framework “Inzell” all actors involved transport issues...

This paper is to present an explanatory approach for the description and analysis of mobility its impacts on spatial development accessibility in Alpine Metropolitan Regions. A special focus laid sustainable emphasizing economic, environmental social aspects mobility. Several approaches that have been developed discussed during recent years were mainly focused either areas outside Regions or functions types transport mountainous (e.g. transit traffic, leisure traffic). Many strategies are...

ABSTRACT Implementing the concept of sustainability in tourism needs a significant reduction vacationists' ecological footprint at destination level. A key aspect there is tourists' travel mode choice on‐site. Based on an online‐panel based survey Italy and Germany applying ordinal regression, this study analyzes for South Tyrol, impact five blocks potential factors public transportation (PT) usage during vacation: sociodemographics, everyday mobility residence, attitudes toward climate...

First, we briefly outline the state of research in traffic congestion and existing approaches towards classification patterns. We summarize methodology results our analysis spatiotemporal dynamics flow on A12 A13 motorways Austria 2016 based cross-sectional count data. Built that research, introduce a different approach consisting separate lanes. compare new lane-specific with previous aggregated ones discuss differences. postulate suggested provides better insights into congestions patterns...

This paper explores the usability of floating car data (FCD) mixed quality in congestion analysis on motorways. The specific aspects that we are investigating number and density trajectories, GPS interval, fleet representativeness. We use a dataset provided by German Automobile Club ADAC covering Tyrolean road network 2016. From this dataset, trajectories along A12 motorway were extracted for analysis. These characterized high time low not representative total traffic due to...
