Transport emissions rose by 20 percent between 1990 and 2010 and accounted for more than 20 percent of all GHG emissions in the EU; this indicates that the transport sector is the second biggest greenhouse gas-emitting sector after energy and the only major sector where greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are still rising or stagnating. Pricing policie...
In this paper, we aim at characterising the distribution of expenditures of Czech households on transport services. This distribution is different not only across various households´ types, but there is non-trivial in-group heterogeneity. We ask how such heterogeneity can be modelled.
Modelling approach and Methodology:
We formulate our problem...
Policies that stimulate active transportation (walking and bicycling) have been related to heath benefits. This study aims to assess the potential health risks and benefits of promoting active transportation for commuting populations (age groups 16-64) in six European cities. We conducted a health impact assessment using two scenarios: increased cy...

This chapter overviews factors influencing cycling in cities. Understanding these factors can help policy makers to better design appropriate conditions for cycling and to support a change in modal split in favour of this non-motorized mode. The analyzed factors are infrastructural (building bicycle lanes, and bicycle paths), but also physical, dem...
This chapter introduces a microsimulation model with the purpose of simulating impacts of selected policy measures on transport behaviour, induced external effects of air pollution, and public finance including the cost of tax distortions. The model consists of a microeconomic model of transport behaviour of households, of a cost model of public tr...
The goal of this chapter is to contribute understanding of the impact of selected transport policies, such as investments in walking and cycling facilities (e.g., bike lanes and bike paths, pedestrian and low-speed zones, provision of city bikes bike sharing systems) on active transport (biking and walking). On a sample of European cities, we find...

variables include the trip...
The Czech Republic failed by far to reach an indicative target of 2% share of biofuels on the overall fuel consumption in the transport sector prescribed by the EC Biofuel Directive for 2005. This fact is an unpleasant outcome of many twists and turns in biofuel promotion during the last 15 years. In our paper we aim at analysing and assessing econ...
There are various possibilities of transport regulation such as taxes, congestion charging or administrative regulation. To choose efficiently, one has to understand the main factors of transport behavior. If the fuel price is an important factor, then public policy may use environmental taxes to influence the modal split, otherwise other instrumen...

This paper summarizes recent experience with microsimulation models applied to analyze economic and environmental impacts of transportation scenarios. First, relevant international studies from the European and North American countries are reviewed. Then, the paper introduces a microeconomic model calibrated and simulated for five largest cities in...
We formulate and estimate a microeconometric model of household
transport demand, which allows for latent separability of fuel consumption
between urban and rural areas. Latent separability is crucial for transport
price change assessments since external costs related to air pollution from
fuel use differ between urban and rural areas. The estimati...
The chapter formulates and simulates a micro-founded model of passenger transport regulation. This version of the model only considers externalities in air pollution; the possible extension to other external costs (such as congestion) is a topic for future research. Another limitation of the paper is that we ignore decentralization of policy instru...
This brochure was prepared as an introduction for participants to the MOBIDAYS Conference on socioeconomic barriers to sustainable mobility. The conference is part of the MOBIDAYS project, which aims to identify and investigate the main strengths and barriers characterising the most important research and demonstration projects on sustainable mobil...
Jednotlivé druhy dopravy mají rozdílné dopady na ekonomiku, zdraví a životní prostředí. Proto je užitečné zkoumat, jak jednotlivé nástroje dopravní politiky ovlivňují dopravní chování a dělbu přepravní práce. I když jde o téma aktuální a diskutované na teoretické a praktické rovině zvláště v západní Evropě a Severní Americe, v České republice jsou...
Subjekty soukromého sektoru neustále rozhodují o mnoha investičních i neinvestičních záměrech. Dokáží si porovnat výnosy a náklady jednotlivých projektů a efektivně se podle těchto výsledků rozhodnout. Stát může odůvodnit zasahování do jednání soukromých subjektů tam, kde jednotlivci (osoby nebo firmy) nenesou veškeré náklady a užitky z vlastního j...
In the chapter, we tried to analyse the development of road freight transport in
the Czech Republic and possibilities for regulation of infrastructure costs and
negative environmental effects of the ongoing growth in vehicle-kms and tonnes
transported. Since the early 1990s, freight transport has been increasing and the
growth has even been acceler...
The paper analyses impacts of improved cycling infrastructure on demand for this means of transport in the Czech city of Pilsen. We use a stated preferences design for the elicitation of willingness to use the bicycle in the event of various improve-ments to the cycling environment in the city. Our approach to the demand estimate is based on the cu...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to estimation and prediction
of the modal split of passenger urban transport under a form of data incompleteness.
Researchers that have an access to micro data in the form of various
household expenditures statistics can usually observe expenditures on or demand
of various transport modes, including motor...
The paper analyses impacts of improved cycling infrastructure on demand for this means of transport. We use a stated preferences design for the elicitation of willingness to use the bicycle in the event of various improvements to the cycling environment in the city (in strict and tolerant level).

Introducing and developing patterns of sustainable mobility is one of the key challenges for both the developed and less-developed countries. There exist various scientific approaches to assess the problem of sustainable mobility. One of them is the concept of automobile dependency. According to Litman (1999), “automobile dependency” is a situation...
In the process of its economic transformation, the Czech Republic's transport sector has faced certain new challenges. Demand for road transport services has been growing, while rail transport demand has been dropping. While this implies environmental and social problems such as congestion, increased emissions, accidents, and higher contributions t...

The aim of the project is to prepare guidelines for management of large protected areas, especially national parks and higher zones of protected nature areas, how to effectively solve problems caused by traffic and how to integrate planning of sustainable mobility development into strategic documents of these areas. The main outputs of the project are – a certified methodology for preparation of mobility plans for environmentally sensitive areas and a database of good praxis regarding transport measures. Furthermore, datasets from sociological surveys and a technical report from the surveys will be created. Numbers and structure of visitors will be estimated using mobile data. The results will be published in relevant scientific journals and technical reports.
The project is implemented under he Erasmus + programme - Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education. Its main goal is to improve capability on the filed of sustainable urban mobility management. The effort if focused on strenghtening students' practical skills on the basis of project-based teaching approach. To achieve this objective, a common database of supporting materials (case-studies, reports, etc.) with relevant gudelines is to be developed around the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan implementation concept. The meterials will be tested in practice at three universities and evaluated with regards to their applicability in a regular teaching.
