“…The cordon toll policy is to be implemented in 2020. Recognizing that transportation impacts on land use require a certain amount of time (Tillema et al, 2010a;Whitehead, 2005;Zhong et al, 2015), this study applies the simulation results in 2025 to estimate the impacts of road charging on potential job accessibility (PJA). In other words, this paper uses 2020 urban built environment data as the independent variables and uses the number of jobs and network travel time in 2025 to calculate the potential job accessibility indicator.…”

This paper analyzes the impacts of the built environment (BE) as it relates to the potential job accessibility (PJA) effects of road pricing. The relationships between the BE elements and PJA under a road charging policy are established using a spatial econometric approach, which uses an integrated land use and transportation model (TRANUS model) and a spatial lag model (SLM). With the intent of further analyzing the differences in the PJA effects of road pricing on traffic analysis zones (TAZs) that contain different combinations of BE elements, a quantitative classification method combining factor and cluster analysis is applied. This will quantitatively categorize TAZs inside and outside the tolled areas. In exploring the relationship between changes in PJA and the road pricing policy, we found the spatial autocorrelation coefficient to be negative. This result suggests that we are unable to increase the PJA of all the regions through road pricing, but rather affect a redistribution of PJA between different regions. Results also indicate that the impacts of road charging on PJA are associated with urban BE elements. Moreover, such effects are the common result of specific characteristics of the BE. The higher the number of jobs, the better the public transportation conditions, and the better the street design (high densities of street and intersections), the less the region will be negatively influenced by a road charging policy, and vice versa. To avoid the negative effects of road pricing on PJA prior to the launch of such a policy, cities should improve public transportation networks and enhance the street design of the road pricing policy areas, especially the toll ring periphery area.

“…Recent research demonstrates that myriad approaches exist to advance our understanding of the transport-society nexus. For example, the relationship between gender and mobility (Kwan, 1999;Law, 1999), the politics of transport management (Whitehead, 2005), the promotion of social change though transport pricing mechanisms (Owen, 1995), or the problems of social exclusion (Kenyon et al, 2002) all are critical to understanding accessibility and mobility challenges. Indeed, these issues could benefi t from even greater attention by transport geographers.…”

Regional approaches to transportation geography continue to adjust to changing relationships at multiple scales. Theoretically, it is the region that provides meaningful connections between the global and the local, although conceptualizing the region has proven quite challenging. Just as transport is frequently treated merely as a means of moving people and goods from one place to another, so regions are often viewed as unproblematized spatial containers with little analysis of their meaning or structure. Inadequate theory and context can present significant empirical challenges for transportation geographers working at the regional scale. This is especially important as markets continue to widen, transportation becomes ever more sophisticated, mobility increases, and traditional notions of the boundaries of political states are changed.In the fi rst of three reviews, advances in transport geography at the global scale were discussed, with an emphasis on research that explicates transport's role in structuring the global system and making global-local interactions possible. The fi nal review will

“…When analyzing transport infrastructure, a firm relation is found with the development level of state economy, which plays a significant role in the development of transport plans in any country [2][3][4][5]. Interplay [4] of economy and transport in the analyzed region may be described in differential equations, depending on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), technology development level, labour force, private capital size, number of transport means, etc.…”

Trends of consumption of petroleum products in Lithuania are analyzed. It is shown that these trends during the transition period to the market economy are not stable. Therefore, methods and models of the comparative analysis are proposed for the statistical modelling trends of consumption of petroleum products, comparing the relative indicators of consumption of petroleum products in transition economy and in the European Community of 15 EU developed market countries. Long‐term forecasts of consumption of petroleum products in Lithuania for the perspective of 2010–2025 were calculated on the basis of perspective scenarios of statistical models. Forecasts of final consumption of petroleum products as well as automotive fuel demands are presented.
