4. 2. Mode choice modelling of long-distance passenger transport based on mobile phone network data

   Author : Angelica Andersson; Maria Börjesson; Ida Kristoffersson; Clas Rydergren; Leonid Engelson; Jonas Westin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Demand model; Mode choice; Latent class; Mobile phone network data; Travel behaviour; Long-distance travel;

   Abstract : Reliable forecasting models are needed to achieve the climate related goals in the face of increasing transport demand. Such models can predict the long-term behavioural response to policy interventions, including infrastructure investments, and thus provide valuable pre-dictions for decision makers. READ MORE

5. 3. Green Logistics through Modal Shift - exploring the role of the transport capacity contract

   Author : Fredrik Eng Larsson; Teknisk logistik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; green logistics; modal shift; mode choice; capacity management; supply chain contracting; intermodal transport;

   Abstract : Among policy-makers in Europe the modal shift - a shift från polluting modes of freight transport to less polluting modes - has been a popular suggestion for reducing CO2-emissions of transportation. In particular, intermodal road-rail solutions, where a combination of road and rail transport is utilized to move trailers and containers, have been stressed as an important measure to reach de desired reduction in emissions.

7. 5. Introduction of regional high speed trains : A study of the effects of the Svealand line on the travel market, travel behaviour and accessibility

   Author : Oskar Fröidh; KTH; []
   Keywords : The Svealand line; high speed trains; regional travel; travel behaviour; choice of transport mode; accessibility; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The Svealand line opened in 1997 and the services areoperated with regional high speed trains. While the Svealandline was being built, the slow trains that had been inoperation on the old railway between Eskilstuna and Stockholm(a distance of 115 km) were replaced by buses with a highfrequency of service.
