“…Even though the initiator bears already a share of these costs (own delay), she or he contributes to this congestion and therefore impose costs to other traffic participants (intra-sectoral external costs) and simultaneously to the society (the transport system becomes more inefficient, which leads to welfare losses) (cf. Rothengatter et al, 2015). The basic principle of the external costs of congestion was formulated by Pigou (1920) (Qingyu et al, 2007).…”

Electric vehicles (EV) are often considered a promising technology to decrease external costs of road transport. Therefore, main external cost components are estimated for EV and internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV). These include costs of accidents, air pollution, climate change, noise, and congestion. All components are estimated over the product lifetime and, where appropriate, differentiated according to fuel type, vehicle size as well as emission location and time. The advantage of this differentiation is, however, compensated by high uncertainties of most cost estimates. Overall, the external costs of EV and ICEV do not differ significantly. Only for climate change, local air pollutants in congested inner-cities, and noise some advantageous effects can be observed for EV. The advantages depend strongly on the national electricity power plant portfolio and potentially also on the charging strategy. Controlled charging might allow for higher emission reductions than uncontrolled charging of EV

“…He notes that connectivity augmentation between regions of different levels of development not only allows the less developed region to have access to better markets located in the more developed regions, but it also makes it easier for firms in developed regions to supply more impoverished areas. This added advantage may directly harm the industrialization prospects of areas with lower development levels, and the result may directly affect the environment as well as the quality of life of individuals (Hayashi et al 2015;Rothengatter et al 2015).…”

The development of railways brings many positive externalities, such as the expansion of built environment, the growth of feeder roads, the rise of passenger mobility, and the creation of economic opportunities for locals. In the meantime, the railway transport system exerts some negative externalities on environmental sustainability, which intensifies climate change. This paper assesses the negative externalities of railway transport through the changing dynamics of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and fractional vegetation cover (FVC). The spatial regression model was calibrated to understand the degree of these externalities. In addition, a prediction model was constructed based on machine learning techniques like cellular automata and Markov chain. The study reveals that the development of railway stations in Tripura, India has significant negative externalities on the environment.
