Abstract
Abstract In this paper, a newly developed dynamic simulation model for transport user behaviour analysis is presented. The study aims to evaluate the impact of various factors on human behavioural intentions, identify the inconvenience costs of public transport, and identify the necessary improvements to shift the demand for population mobility from private cars to public transport. The assessment of such aspects as travel time and travel cost is presented. Modelling assumptions are based on a specially designed public survey allowing to improve the reliability of the developed system dynamics model. Modelling results highlight the multiplicative effect of factors influencing mode shift.
期刊介绍:
Environmental and Climate Technologies provides a forum for information on innovation, research and development in the areas of environmental science, energy resources and processes, innovative technologies and energy efficiency. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts which cover the range from bioeconomy, sustainable technology development, life cycle analysis, eco-design, climate change mitigation, innovative solutions for pollution reduction to resilience, the energy efficiency of buildings, secure and sustainable energy supplies. The Journal ensures international publicity for original research and innovative work. A variety of themes are covered through a multi-disciplinary approach, one which integrates all aspects of environmental science: -Sustainability of technology development- Bioeconomy- Cleaner production, end of pipe production- Zero emission technologies- Eco-design- Life cycle analysis- Eco-efficiency- Environmental impact assessment- Environmental management systems- Resilience- Energy and carbon markets- Greenhouse gas emission reduction and climate technologies- Methodologies for the evaluation of sustainability- Renewable energy resources- Solar, wind, geothermal, hydro energy, biomass sources: algae, wood, straw, biogas, energetic plants and organic waste- Waste management- Quality of outdoor and indoor environment- Environmental monitoring and evaluation- Heat and power generation, including district heating and/or cooling- Energy efficiency.
