Netherlands The Project Notice - Behavior, Network, Market And Policy Dynamics In Multi-Modal, Multi-Layer And Multi-Class Air And Rail Transport Systems


Project Notice

PNR 71098
Project Name Behavior, Network, Market and Policy Dynamics in Multi-Modal, Multi-Layer and Multi-Class Air and Rail Transport Systems
Project Detail Transforming long-distance transport for a sustainable future The long-distance transport sector is undergoing transformation, with emerging services and policies reshaping travel experiences. However, there remains a lack of knowledge to inform the design and policymaking of transport systems. The gap between policy goals and the tools needed to achieve them hinders the development of effective solutions. To overcome this, new approaches are required that consider strategic behaviour, network development, and market evolution, especially in cooperative yet competitive environments. The ERC-funded 3MARS project will develop advanced models for multi-layer, multi-modal transport networks. It will focus on understanding travel behaviour, refining network design, and creating policy frameworks to improve both supply and demand. The project will provide insights to drive sustainable and adaptive transport systems. The long-distance transport market is currently experiencing rapid changes and innovative services and policies are fundamentally reshaping how we travel. The discrepancy between the relevance of long-distance travel for emission reduction policy goals and the lack of related knowledge to support the design, planning and policy making of long-distance transport systems hinders the development of successful pathways. In order to understand, forecast, devise policies and evaluate developments related to long-distance travel, there is an urgent need for new paradigms which consider strategic behaviour, network development strategies, policy trajectories and co-evolution of markets where revenue management and coopetition are prevalent. This requires developing comprehensive and cutting edge methods for designing and assessing policy interventions by integrating behavioural, network development and market dynamics, for which the PI is well-positioned. This research program develops and tests theories and models of transport systems in the uncharted domain of long-distance transport markets with Multi-layer, Multi-modal and Multi-class Air and Rail Systems (3MARS). 3MARS will unravel crucial behavioural aspects; develop novel models for the assignment of multi-class flows for a multi-layer multi-modal network; conceptualize and operationalise the market relations and dynamics between supply and demand and amongst service providers and the evolution thereof; develop network design and revenue management techniques in competition-collaboration settings; design and assess supply- and demand-side policy interventions, and the interactions between all of those system components and phenomena. The proposed program will result in a series of theoretical and methodological breakthroughs in the field of transport modelling and, methodological and empirical contributions in the fields of travel behaviour, environmental and sustainability policy, and network and market.
