  • How public transport costs influence the residential location choice of German commuters

    Open AccessJohannes Nießen, Tobias KuhnimhofARTICLEJournal of Transport Geography2026

    The negative utility of commuting arises from the time spent and the costs incurred. While numerous studies have examined the effect of commuting time on residential location choice, only a few studies published in recent decades have included commuting costs in their analyses, especially public transport costs. We used the official commuter statistics listing the number of commuters by residential and workplace municipality, i.e. a revealed pref…

  • Compensating for limited private living space through outsourcing of activities? Panel data analysis of the link between living space and spatial behaviour

    Open AccessSimon Hein, Tobias KuhnimhofARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2025

    First study to examine the link between spatial behaviour and size of living space • Findings indicate that living space is linked to eating and drinking out • Use of dynamic panel data models fitted via structural equation modelling • Results have implications for housing sufficiency and research on trip generation In order to deal with the environmental food print of housing, researchers call for per capita living space in high-income countries…

  • Public Transport Accessibility and Its Effect on Mode Choice

    Open AccessFabian Kühnel, Michael Schrömbges et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2025Cited by: 2References: 6

    The relationship between the service of public transport (PT) and its use is complex but can be simplified through the use of indicators. These indicators should be able to accurately reflect PT use so that improvements in the indicators lead to increases in PT use. Although researchers and planners use similar indicators to describe the access of PT stops, the indicators used to assess the accessibility of destinations differ. Researchers use sp…

  • When to Measure Accessibility? Temporal Segmentation and Aggregation in Location-Based Public Transit Accessibility

    Open AccessAnna E Lindner, Anna Lindner et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2024References: 10

    Accessibility analyses are important for public transit (PT) planning, as they reveal possible deficits in PT services. Since such accessibility analyses are highly time-dependent, the Modifiable Temporal Unit Problem (MTUP) should be considered. In this context, one approach is to calculate accessibility continuously for an entire day and aggregate it appropriately. However, this approach is complex and computationally intensive and is therefore…

  • Comparative Analysis of Residential Parking Questions in National Travel Surveys

    Open AccessMarcel Porschen, Tobias KuhnimhofARTICLEUrban Science2024References: 4

    Availability and utilization of residential parking locations remain a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of urban planning and policy making. Thus, this study investigates questions about residential parking within National Travel Surveys (NTS) across 49 OECD-affiliated countries. The study used a layered framework, differentiating parking locations by on/off-street, public/private access, proximity to dwellings, and infrastructure type to anal…

  • Mobility-on-demand pricing versus private vehicle TCO

    Open AccessTobias Kuhnimhof, Christine EisenmannARTICLETransportation2023

    This study uses a unique dataset on the cost of motoring in Germany to analyse cost competitiveness of emerging mobility-on-demand (MOD) services. Previous studies have focused on comparing current and projected MOD prices with the average cost of private motoring. This study quantifies which proportion of private car travel would actually turn out to be costlier than MOD given that MOD costs drop below certain levels relative to the cost of priv…

  • Men Shape a Downward Trend in Car Use among Young Adults—Evidence from Six Industrialized Countries

    Tobias Kuhnimhof, Jimmy Armoogum et al.ARTICLETransport Reviews2012

    This paper investigates trends in the travel behaviour of young adults in Germany, France, Great Britain, Japan, Norway, and the USA over the past few decades with a focus on car availability and car travel. The trend analysis relies on micro-data from over 20 National Travel Surveys from the study countries dating back to the mid-1970s. The analysis of the survey data is supplemented by official statistics on licence holding. On this basis, this…
