Cities are locations having a high level of accumulation and concentration of economic activities. They are complex spatial structures supported by infrastructures, including transport systems. The larger a city, the greater its complexity and the potential for disruptions, particularly when this complexity is not effectively managed. Urban product...
Automobile use is related to a variety of advantages, such as on-demand mobility, comfort, status, speed, and convenience. These advantages jointly illustrate why automobile ownership continues to grow worldwide, especially in urban areas and developing economies. When given a choice and the opportunity, most individuals will prefer using an automo...
Congestion can be perceived as an unavoidable consequence of the usage of scarce transport resources, particularly if they are not priced. The last decades have seen the extension of roads in urban areas, most of them free of access. Those infrastructures were designed for speed and high capacity, but the growth of urban circulation occurred at a r...
In some areas, the automobile is the only mode for which adequate transportation infrastructures are provided. This implies less capacity for using alternative modes such as transit, walking, and cycling. At some levels of density, no public infrastructure investment can be justified in terms of economic returns. Longer commuting tripsin terms of a...
