Abstract

Transport and Equity Analysis COST Action – TU1209 dedicated a special attention to the mobility challenges related with the social and technical dimensions of transport. The three theoretical and practical results of TEA COST dealing with mobility issues are:"br" 1. Proposing a shift from a time-saving based appraisal paradigm to a new composite variable able to jointly consider personal characteristics, spatial accessibility, and trips attributes (i.e. needs of people)."br" 2. Changing the approach for analyzing users' mobility choice from a utility-based approach to a needs-based approach."br" 3. Opening transport planning to the real participation of users through adapted mobility survey, meetings for proposing and creating consensus around transport planning measures, and innovative governance tools.
