STUDIES IN TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR AND MOBILITY MANAGEMENT NEED A SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE: “MOBILISTICS”
Some lessons have been learnt about travel behaviour, e.g. how travel time consumption seems constant and independent of the economic and social situation and how improvements in speed increase trip length. However, although travel behaviour has been studied for...
