Determining the weighting factor of public transport modes in urban environments – a possible methodology
Abstract
The authors examine whether it is possible to carry out transport development, and through it economic development, as a result of which emissions are reduced at the system level. his requires a comparison of existing public transport networks by mode, which is very difficult, however, as the appropriate ratios are not available. During the research, a linearized regression model was constructed, which was based on the examination of 421 cities. The model provides information on the role of each mode of transport and, through this, to the considerations to be taken into account in the development of the transport networks.
