This proceedings volume examines the effects of transport on
socio-economic development including innovation, public health and
cultural behavior. Featuring contributions presented at the 2017
TranSopot Conference in Sopot, Poland, the enclosed papers are
divided to provide emerging research in transport sustainability,
innovation, structure, and in municipal transport economics.
Collectively, the contributions provide not only the theoretical
background for transport analysis but also empirical data and
practical applications. Researchers in the transport sector strive
to explore the nuances of various aspects of transport economics,
which are connected on many levels. The sustainability of transport
fits into a wide perspective of the sustainable economy. It treats
the activities of individuals, companies and local, regional and
national governments as means of achieving economic and social
ends. Conversely, transport sustainability has a certain burden on
society as it may generate external costs in the form of
congestion, pollution and negative health effects. Many of these
adverse effects might be counteracted by transport innovations,
both the technical ones and the organizational ones. These
innovations, while their main goal might be to increase the
efficiency of the transport entities, should also fit into the
desirable trend of responsible economic design thinking. These
general ideas of transport research naturally have to influence the
research in various branches of transport ranging from the road
transport to railway. Lastly, there is the municipal transport, in
which goals of different stakeholders are often contradictory which
leads to highly complicated decision problems. Featuring case
examples on topics as bike sharing, green travel, compact cars,
freight transport and electric cars, this book will be of interest
to researchers, practitioners, policy makers and students in the
fields of transport economics, innovation, and sustainability.
