As more people choose to travel by bicycle, transportation planners are beginning to recognize the need to rethink the way they evaluate and plan transportation facilities to meet local mobility needs. A modal shift towards bicycles motivates a change in transportation planning to accommodate more bicycles. However, the current methods to estimate bicycle volumes on a transportation network are limited. The purpose of this research is to address those limitations through the development of a two-stage bicycle origin–destination (O–D) matrix estimation process that would provide a different perspective on bicycle modeling. From the first stage, a primary O–D matrix is produced by a gravity model, and the second stage refines that primary matrix generated in the first stage using a Path Flow Estimator (PFE) to build the finalized O–D demand. After a detailed description of the methodology, the paper demonstrates the capability of the proposed model for a bicycle demand matrix estimation tool with a real network case study.

This paper applies a methodology for computing external costs in an intermodal transport network that includes short sea shipping to explore the impact of external costs in its competitiveness. The network, which includes roads, freight railways, maritime and inland waterway connections, considers the specific characteristics of different transport alternatives and vehicle types, providing a fair comparison of the various modes. A case study focused on freight transportation between Northern Portugal and 75 destinations (NUTS2 regions) in north-western Europe is presented. The potential of different intermodal routes that include short sea shipping is assessed, including not only internal costs and times but also external costs per mode and unit of cargo. The impact of the different cost approaches in each country of transit is shown along with the progress that has been made in the integration of external costs, using the most recent EU estimates on marginal costs coverage ratios per country for freight transport modes. The results support the modal shift from road to sea in this corridor, providing means for modal comparison and for the development of short sea shipping’s image as a sustainable mode of transportation.

This paper addresses to the rapid rise of metro developments in Chinese cities to reconsider the official justifications of such mega-projects and the underlying driving forces behind proposal and approval processes. Qualitative approaches were undertaken in this in-depth case study of Nantong’s metro project, through insights into planning documents and evidences gathered from interviews, together with relevant socioeconomic data. Our research findings reveal four major motivations to develop metro projects in China: the city’s expected improvements through the metro system, the local economic power as the essential requirement and source of confidence for project development, the inter-city competition as an invisible factor driving project proposals, and the changing domestic political economy as the direct cause of its approval. As a topic that is frequently studied in the relevant literature and often advocated by metro projects promoters, the local expected achievements in terms of modal shift to public transport, transit-oriented development, economic growth, and tax maximisation are highlighted in this case study. Additionally, in China, inter-city competition and economic-political reasons involved in initiating, promoting, and approving urban mega-projects are also vital to the whole process.
