This study aims to examine to what extent sustainability has been incorporated into assessments of road infrastructure projects. It identifies promising approaches that include indicators reflecting core sustainability criteria, determines criteria that were insufficiently covered as indicators, and develops an integrated indicator set covering all criteria. A systematic review was performed to obtain

Internal versus external European air market realities: the competitive divide Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 2.275) Pub Date : 2020-03-24 Darren Ellis
This paper looks at how ongoing attempts to improve air market competitiveness in Europe are challenged by the differing internal and external realities that exist. Europe’s internal multilateral single air market has encouraged the proliferation of pan-European airlines unhindered by national borders, which have stimulated increased competition and driven down airfare prices. Meanwhile, externally

The energy impact of adaptive cruise control in real-world highway multiple-car-following scenarios Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 2.275) Pub Date : 2020-03-24 Yinglong He; Michail Makridis; Georgios Fontaras; Konstantinos Mattas; Hongming Xu; Biagio Ciuffo
Surging acceptance of adaptive cruise control (ACC) across the globe is further escalating concerns over its energy impact. Two questions have directed much of this project: how to distinguish ACC driving behaviour from that of the human driver and how to identify the ACC energy impact. As opposed to simulations or test-track experiments as described in previous studies, this work is unique because
