“…According to their results, conversion rates were highest among employees who were already contemplating switching from car to alternative modes. Scheepers et al (2014) concluded from a review analysis that approaches using multiple intervention tools were most promising. However, they observed an overall low quality of study designs and a lack of statistical significance in the results.…”

Although mobility is spatial by its very nature, spatial factors are rarely explicitly considered in the promotion of active commuting. However, active commuting bears great potential for increasing physical activity among employees and can thus contribute to health promotion. We argue that spatial models and analyses are building blocks for more efficient strategies in corporate mobility and health promotion measures. Specifically, we propose (a) a routing algorithm that optimizes commuting journeys in terms of health effectiveness; (b) assessment models, which express the suitability of workplace environments for active commuting; (c) spatial analyses that estimate the potentials of different modes for any given location, and (d) spatial analyses that support awarenessraising for active mobility. The elements are conceptualized on a generic level and then applied to a case study in Salzburg, Austria. In this case study, we demonstrate the integrative power of a geo-spatial approach which facilitates holistic perspectives on healthy commuting and has the potential to serve as an evidence base in targeted interventions.

“…1.1.1 Modal choice Several review studies aimed to describe the impact of bicycle infrastructure on bicycle use (Heinen et al, 2010;Scheepers et al, 2014;FHWA, 2015). These reviews reveal a lack of before and after evaluation to test the impact of a specific intervention and poor reporting of intervention characteristics that limits our possibilities to describe a doseresponse relationship.…”

“…The mobility effects are still uncertain. There are only a few high quality before-after studies (Scheepers et al, 2014) and those that are available are mainly from countries with lower base levels of cycling (Barnes et al, 2006;. We therefore recommend to evaluate a variety of bicycle infrastructure facilities in areas representing a wide range of base levels of cycling participation.…”

“…Although only true experiments (with random assignment of participants to an experimental and control group) enable testing causal hypotheses, evaluations using a quasi-experimental design can substantially improve internal validity (Heiman, 2002) compared with correlational research. Information about intervention characteristics needed to inform ex-ante evaluations is often lacking and the debate about how to operationalize different degrees of intervention exposure is ongoing (Goodman et al, 2014;Scheepers et al, 2014). This information is needed to describe dose-response relationships.…”

“…About eight percent of gross national product of Australia has been originated from merchandise transportation during 2000 decade [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Regarding the conditions of road transportation, vehicles (system) are of special importance since public systems are the most important agent in transportation offer at now [12].…”

Abstract-Transportation is one the most important pillars of economic growth and development. However, due to geographical and economical conditions, flexibility of road transportation and presence of sufficient infrastructures, the road transportation is one of critical importance in Australia. Vehicles are one part of road transportation and hence, evaluating the capacity of road transportation system or vehicles is very crucial in transportation programming. In the current research, a model is presented for determining the demand to different types of vehicles in various states of Australia. Since a multi-criterion capacity evaluating program has been considered, the idealistic programming method is used in modeling. Due to the nature of the problem, zero and one variables are introduced to the model which, in turn, caused to transform the model to a non-linear complex rational number programming problem. As solving such types of problems is difficult, especially for large values, an innovative method, regarding the structure of the problem, is presented to transform the non-linear problem to a linear one. Moreover, this study is performed for various conditions such as increase of container transportation.
