Abstract

This paper describes the development of a dynamic supply model on passenger transportation. The model can be used to calculate future energy use, space use, travel time and cost of passenger mobility. Next to that, the model can be used to point out whether there are optimal transportation modes, i.e., transportation modes that score equal or better on each of the four variables than all the other modes. In order to do this, a distinction is made between two societal variables (energy use and space use) and two individual variables (travel and time costs). For this analysis, the concept of Pareto optimality is used. A system is Pareto optimal if no other system scores equal or better on each of the criteria used.
