The introduction of mobility rights : a first exploration through the use of a system dynamics model

摘要

In this paper the socio-economic effectiveness of transferable mobility rights will be analysedthrough the use of a system dynamics model. Transferable mobility rights are an innovativesolution for the mobility problems. The aim is to give a restrictive amount of rights of mobility tothe citizens in order to cope with the external effects of transport, such as congestion andemissions. The rights are transferable and as such it can also have a redistributional effect.Economical, social, and ecological goals are coming here together. In order to see the complexinteraction between these three dimensions and the effect of the introduction of the system oftransferable mobility rights a SD-model is developed. This model will allow to simulate theimpact of alternative policy scenarios on the system. These alternatives include the variouspossible “designs” of the transferable mobility rights system (e.g. possible differentiation of thesystem according to category in the general population (retired people, working people, …) oraccording to time (peakon-peak,…), etc.
