Diverging roads: A panel analysis on motorisation rates in German counties from 2012 to 2022
Motorisation rates have continued to increase in most countries. Existing studies on motorisation rates are mainly cross-sectional, offering limited insight into changes over time. However, understanding these changes is crucial for developing sustainable transport strategies. This study addresses this limitation by analysing panel data on motorisation rates (private cars/1000 residents) in German counties from 2012 to 2022. We use fixed-effects …
What can urban transport policy achieve? How transport-policy-invariant characteristics relate to city-level car ownership and car use
Most case and comparative studies discuss urban characteristics that can hardly be influenced by urban transport policies. However, these studies do not quantify the impact of the so-called contextual factors on car ownership and car use. This paper focuses on these contextual factors and their associations with car ownership and car use. Regression models show that contextual factors - such as city size, the share of households with children and…
Gender differences in work-related high mobility differentiated by partnership and parenthood status
The income situation and the division of labor in households, which are closely related to occupational mobility, are central aspects of the debate on gender equality. Women have shorter commuting times and distances than men and spend fewer nights away from their main place of residence for work-related reasons. Various studies attribute these gender differences to a gendered division of labor and the associated greater involvement of women in h…
Generational differences, socialisation effects and ‘mobility links’ in international holiday travel
What's that garage for? Private parking and on-street parking in a high-density urban residential neighbourhood
The role of parents’ mobility behavior for dynamics in car availability and commute mode use
Residential Location Choices of Couples Considering both Partners' Residential Biographies and Family Ties
We investigate couples' residential decisions by considering variables capturing elements of both partners' residential biographies and family ties. We focus on the family formation stage because decisions made in this stage are rather long-term. We are particularly interested in the hometown as individuals have spent a great amount of time and an important life phase there. Our research questions are: (1) To what extent do people live in their h…
Women’s complex daily lives: A gendered look at trip chaining and activity pattern entropy in Germany
Räumliche Mobilität und Lebenslauf: Studien Zu Mobilitätsbiografien und Mobilitätssozialisation
Travel Distances in Daily Travel and Long-Distance Travel: What Role is Played by Urban Form
There is a lot of research on spatial differences in travel behaviour, specifically on travel distances. This research suggests that the distances travelled by the inhabitants of municipalities with lower population and neighbourhoods with lower density and less mixed land use are longer than those travelled by the inhabitants of cities with higher population, high density, and greater mixed land use. However, related studies focus mainly on dail…
Changes in travel mode use after residential relocation: A contribution to mobility biographies
Gendered travel mode choice: A focus on car deficient households
Gendered activity spaces: Trends over three decades in Germany
The paper studies gender differences in activity patterns and activity spaces (in terms of trip frequencies and travel distances to various activities) over the period 1976 to 2008. The results show gender convergence both in trip frequencies and travel distances. The growth of activity spaces is less pronounced in large cities than in small towns and municipalities, supporting the hypotheses of sustainability in transport development in the citi…
