The Greening of the passenger car might not deliver such positive sustainability news – so what do we have to do?
Published 2023-03-23As we promote the need to reduce emissions at the tailpipe for cars, trucks, and buses, we may be neglecting the full story on what this might mean for achieving a broad set of sustainability goals. While not denying the ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
An autoregressive spatial stochastic frontier analysis for quantifying the sales efficiency of the electric vehicle market: An application to 88 pilot cities in China
Published 2023-04-12This paper proposes the use of an autoregressive spatial stochastic frontier model to measure the sales efficiency of the electric vehicle (EV) market in 88 Chinese cities for the period 2016 to 2021. In contrast to previous ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Travel Decision Making Under Uncertainty and Road Traffic Behavior: The Multifold Role of Ambiguity Attitude
Published 2023-04-18To aggregate commuters’ mode choices to traffic behavior in the presence of travel time uncertainty, we develop a dynamic traffic simulation in terms of an agent-based model, which consists of two sub-models, the mode ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Travel time reliability, urban form, decision making under uncertainty and smart urban development
Published 2023-05-22Within a land use-transportation interaction model, this study embeds a behavioral framework which accommodates travel decision making under uncertainty into a spatial general equilibrium model to understand the interplay ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
