Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is considered the most sustainable form of personal transport. Yet its net effects on mobility-related CO2 emissions are complex and under-researched. Here we collected activity data in seven European cities derived life cycle across modes purposes. Daily were 3.2 kgCO2 per person, with car contributing 70% 1%. Cyclists had 84% lower than non-cyclists. Life decreased by −14% additional trip −62% each avoided trip. An average person who...

Developing accurate and reliable transportation models capable of simulating real traffic behaviour is essential to making sound engineering investment decisions. However, the construction transport typically data- time-intensive, opaque, results are not reproducible. This paper describes development passenger component new macroscopic four-step National Transport Model (NTM) for Slovakia. Efforts were made limit number dimensions model as far possible, beginning with one demand stratum...
Soft, information-based measures to encourage walking and cycling for travel are increasingly being recommended alongside infrastructure investments. Using principles of realist evaluation, we evaluate implemented as part the European Physical Activity Through Sustainable Approaches (PASTA) study in Vienna (Austria), Örebro (Sweden), Rome (Italy), Antwerp (Belgium) over a 3-year cohort study, further follow-up 2.5 years later Örebro. Increases active modes due interventions were most...
Abstract Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is considered the most sustainable form of getting from A to B. Yet net effects active on mobility-related CO2 emissions are complex and under-researched. Here we collected activity data in seven European cities derived lifecycle daily activity. Daily were 3.2 kgCO2 per person, with car contributing 70% 1%. Cyclists had 84% lower all than non-cyclists. Lifecycle decreased by -14% (95%CI -12% -16%) additional trip -62% -61% -63%) each...
Passenger transport has significant externalities, including carbon emissions and air pollution. Public health research identified additional social gains from active travel, due to the benefits of physical exercise. Per mile, these greatly exceed external costs car use. We introduce travel into an optimal fuel taxation model characterize analytically second‐best tax. find that accounting for increases tax by 44% in USA 38% UK. Fuel taxes should be implemented jointly with other policies...
Abstract Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is generally good health, the environment and economy. Yet net effects of changes in active on mobility-related CO 2 emissions are complex under-researched. Here we collected longitudinal data daily behavior, mode choice, as well personal geospatial characteristics seven European cities derived lifecycle from activity over time space. Fixed- mixed-effects modelling panel (n=1849) was performed to assess associations between transport...

Public health research identified additional social gains from active travel, due to benefits of physical exercise. Per mile, these greatly exceed the external costs car use. We introduce travel into an optimal fuel taxation model analytically characterise second-best tax. find that accounting for increases tax by 49% in US 36% UK.

Transport has a large number of significant externalities including carbon emissions, air pollution, accidents, and congestion. Active travel such as cycling walking can reduce these externalities. Moreover, public health research identified additional social gains from active due to benefits increased physical exercise. In fact, on per mile basis, dominate the external costs car use by two orders magnitude. We introduce options into an optimal taxation model transport study appropriate...
