description: Denne artikel omfatter analyse af personskadeuheld med spirituspåvirkede motorførere i årene 1968-2004 og analyse af kriminalstatistikkens afgørelser for motorføreres spirituskørsel i 1993-2004. Ca. 11.000 motorførere blev dømt for spirituskørsel om året. 90 % af de dømte førere var mænd. Antallet af spiritusuheld steg jævnt hen over ugen, og flest uheld skete nætterne mellem fredag og lørdag og mellem lørdag og søndag. Den typiske fører dømt for spiritusuheld er håndværker eller har 9. klasse som højest fuldførte uddannelse. En lille, men relativt konstant fraktion af spirituspåvirkede førere uden kørekort kommer i uheld. Per capita uheldsraten for unge spirituspåvirkede førere var højere end for voksne gennem hele perioden, men den faldt kraftigere, hvorfor kurverne nærmer sig hinanden. Per capitaraten af afgørelser for unge spiritusførere er imidlertid i stigning. Per capitaraten for ældre aldersgrupper har tilsyneladende nået et nogenlunde konstant niveau.

description: Dette paper beskriver, hvordan det er muligt at udarbejde skolevejsanalyser med en ny proces, hvor der tages udgangspunkt i en generel viden frem for den metode, der anvendes i dag, hvor elever udfylder et spørgeskema, som danner grundlag for en analyse af elevernes skolevej. Den nye proces for udarbejdelse af skolevejsanalyser er fastlagt på baggrund af en kvantitativ og en kvalitativ analyse af skoleveje og elevernes opfattelse af utryghed, når de færdes i trafikken. Med denne viden er der opsat en proces bestående er 10 trin, der skal gennemføres for at udarbejde en skolevejsanalyse. De 10 trin er: • Forundersøgelse • Tilvejebringelse af data og kort • Udpegning af utrygge lokaliteter • Udpegning af trygge lokaliteter • Vurdering af skoledistrikter • Udpegning af ruter • Besigtigelse af ”problemlokaliteter” • Udarbejdelse af løsningsforslag • Udsendelse af information til elever og forældre • Løbende evaluering

description: Throughout ontogeny crocodiles undergo dramatic morphological transformations altering the size and shape of the jaw and therefore altering their biomechanical performances. As muscles are producing the bite-force it suggests that there might be scaling in the jaw musculature themselves.
The relative masses, lengths and internal architecture (fibre lengths and physiological cross-sectional areas) of jaw musculature were recorded for 16 Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) and four other species of crocodiles at various ontogenetic stages.

description: A new Danish road safety plan for 2001-2012 was published in 2000. The focus for the plan was to reduce the number of fatalities and seriously injured and not slightly injured. As a reaction to the new objective, a method for injury severity based black spot identification was developed at Aalborg University. In this paper the method has been tested in the Municipality of Hjørring and compared with normal black spot identification. The objectives have been to evaluate to what extent the new method increases the focus on the most severe accidents and to examine if the new method contribute to road safety work that are more cost effective. An injury severity based and a normal black spot identification have been preformed and the number and severity of accidents on the identified locations have been compared. The comparison indicates that the injury severity based method with advantage could be used for primarily road sections, because it increases the focus on locations with severe accidents. The evaluation also consists of an analysis of whether the identified locations are true or false black spots. The study includes too few locations to make it possible to make a final conclusion about this question. However, for the specific case it has been shown that the new method is as effective as the normal method for identifying true black spots. Finally a comparison of first year rate for treatment for black spots from the two identifications has been made. Again, there is to little data to make a general conclusion, but among the examined locations the first year rate for the proposed treatment was highest for the locations that were identified by the injury severity based method.

description: We present a uniform non-monotonic solution to the problems of reasoning about action on the basis of an argumentation-theoretic approach. Our theory is provably correct relative to a sensible minimisation policy introduced on top of a temporal propositional logic. Sophisticated problem domains can be formalised in our framework. As much attention of researchers in the field has been paid to the traditional and basic problems in reasoning about actions such as the frame, the qualification and the ramification problems, approaches to these problems within our formalisation lie at heart of the expositions presented in this paper.

description: Efter mange år med New Public Management reformer kan der idag i transportsektoren iagttages en tendens til at koordinering tillægges mere vægt. Formålet med paperet er at analysere, hvordan den nye tendens med vægt på koordinering ser ud. Det sker ved at analysere to cases indenfor den kollektive trafik, hhv. lokal bustrafik og jernbane. Eksemplerne indenfor de to cases er primært fra Skandinavien og Storbritannien. På baggrund af casene udledes tre forskellige modeller for koordinering: a) organisatorisk koordinering, b) kontraktbaseret koordinering og c) kulturel koordinering. Koordineringsformerne kan supplere hinanden. Det drøftes endvidere i hvilket omfang og hvordan modellerne for koordinering strider mod tre vigtige kendetegn ved New Public Management: gennemsigtighed, konkurrence og opsplitning.

description: Cuba has, at least since the American revolution, occupied the imagination of North Americans. For nineteenth-century capital, Cuba's close proximity, its Black slaves, and its warm but diverse climate invited economic penetration. By 1900, capital desired in Cuba "a docile working class, a passive peasantry, a compliant bourgeoisie, and a subservient political elite.'" Not surprisingly, Cuba's African heritage stirred an opposite imagination among Blacks to the North. The island's rebellious captives, its anti-colonial struggle, and its resistance to U.S. hegemony beckoned solidarity. Like Haiti, Ethiopia, and South Africa, Cuba occupied a special place in the hearts and minds of African-Americans.
Synthesis of a disulfonated derivative of cucurbit[7]uril and investigations of its ability to solubilise insoluble drugs

description: Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) is currently being investigated as a solubilising agent for insoluble drugs. We recently found that acyclic CB[n]-type receptors that bear sulfonate solubilising groups are well suited for this application. Herein, we report CB[7] derivative (1) that bears two sulfonate groups on its convex face that we hypothesised would be a superior solubilising excipient for insoluble drugs. Before using 1 for drug solubilisation experiments, we showed that 1 does not self-associate and that it retained its ability to bind to diammonium compounds as common guests for CB[7]-sized cavities. X-ray crystallography shows that 1 maintains the key structural features of CB[7] with only minor ellipsoidal deformations at the equator and carbonyl portals of 1. Unfortunately, the aqueous solubility of 1 (20 mM) is slightly lower than CB[7] (20–30 mM) which limits its potential as a solubilising excipient for insoluble drugs. We created phase-solubility diagrams for the solubilisation of three drugs (camptothecin, albendazole and cinnarizine) with two different containers (1 and CB[7]). CB[7] and 1 exhibit comparable solubilisation abilities (e.g. Ka and maximum solubility) towards camptothecin and albendazole but 1 is an inferior solubilising agent for cinnarizine because of the low solubility exhibited by the 1√cinnarizine complex.

A task-oriented agent-based mechanism for mathematical assistant systems
Creators: name: Vo, Bao Quoc
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We present an agent-based mechanism that acts as a mediator module between theorem proving systems and mathematical knowledge bases containing information that is necessary for the constructions of proofs. Unlike the more popular user-oriented mediators who work as information agents to provide the so-called value-added services to the collected data before presenting it to users or user applications, our (multi-)agents are more task-oriented. That is, our agents work in tandem with the user or user application on the tasks the user is trying to solve. This approach is particularly suitable to mathematical knowledge retrieval in theorem proving as (i) checking for applicable axioms/definitions/ theorems from the knowledge base can be done independently from the proof search process concurrently carried out by the prover, and (ii) the prover and the mediator operate on two different search spaces and the search outcome brought about by the mediator can be of great benefit to the prover, e.g. to avoid the prover from exploring many unnecessary or irrelevant proof steps, to keep the prover's search space more manageable and the constructed proof more comprehensible.

description: Enkeltsporede jernbaner har en række trafikale begrænsninger, som dobbeltsporede baner ikke har. Køreplanerne for enkeltsprede baner er bundet af, at tog i hver sin retning kun kan passere hinanden ved krydsningsstationerne samtidig med, at der er risiko for deadlock- situationer, hvor togene spærrer for hinandens videre fremførsel. De fleste kapacitetsbegrænsninger for enkeltsporede baner, og dermed deres trafikale begrænsninger, er i forbindelse med krydsnings- og forgreningsstationer samt korrespondancer eventuelt til andre tog og tilpasning til eksempelvis skolernes ringetider. Der kan være store kapacitetsgevinster at hente ved velplanlagte krydsnings- og forgreningsstationer. Disse kapacitetsgevinster kan benyttes til en mere stabil drift, eller i enkelte tilfælde til at køre flere tog. Den ekstra kapacitet kan der være brug for i tilfælde af driftsforstyrrelser, hvor forsinkelser ellers kan sprede sig og/eller det kan være nødvendigt at aflyse tog.

Capacity Statement for Railways
Creators: name: Landex, Alex
Publisher: name: Selected Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2007

description: The subject “Railway capacity” is a combination of the capacity consumption and how the capacity is utilized. The capacity utilization of railways can be divided into 4 core elements: The number of trains, the average speed, the heterogeneity of the operation, and the stability. This article describes how the capacity consumption for railways can be worked out, and analytical measurements of how the capacity is utilized. Furthermore, the article describes how it is possible to state and visualize railway capacity. Having unused railway capacity is not always equal to be able to operate more trains. This is due to network effects in the railway system and due to the fact that more trains results in lower punctuality.

Contextualized abstraction for assertion-level theorem proving
Creators: name: Vo, Bao Quoc
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper we propose a context-based approach to abstract theorem proving. The challenges stem from the need to identify an abstract level for theorem proving where (less important) information can be temporarily ignored so that a (plan for a) proof of the abstracted problem can be devised to guide the (re)construction of the object-level proof. Contextualization is realized by preserving the logical structures of the formulas of the original representation while pushing the less important subformulas, according to a relevance relation, into the hierarchical subcontexts. This representation allows the problem to be gradually unfolded during the proof search process by hierarchically exploring the subcontexts required to provide support for the hypotheses used in the proof plan. The underlying inference machinery is also equipped with an assertion application module which allows mathematical assertions such as axioms, definitions, theorems, and even global and local assumptions to be applied directly to a proof situation to obtain their logical consequences (from the applied proof situation) and fill in the gaps opened up by an abstract-level proof step. This guarantees that our achievement is two-fold: on the one hand, we are able to carry out effective techniques to search for and construct proofs for a problem; on the other hand, the constructed proof is readily at a sufficiently high level of abstraction so that it can be communicated directly to human mathematicians without undergoing a proof transformation process as required by most machine-generated proofs.
Risk factors, clinical features and treatment of human infection with Plasmodium knowlesi and other Plasmodium species in Sabah, Malaysia
Creators: name: Grigg, Matthew

description: The simian parasite Plasmodium knowlesi is an emergent public health threat in southeast Asia, with human infections now increasingly reported where its macaque hosts and An. Leucosphyrus group vector are present. In Malaysia, P. knowlesi is now the most common cause of human malaria, and has been demonstrated to cause severe and fatal disease. This thesis aimed to provide further understanding of the epidemiology, clinical and laboratory features, and treatment of P.knowlesi malaria in both children and adults, with studies conducted in an area of northwest Sabah, Malaysia. Firstly, the major epidemiological study in this thesis was a case-control analysis of factors associated with acquiring symptomatic P. knowlesi infection. Key findings demonstrated the highest risk in farmers, specific activities such as plantation work and clearing vegetation, sleeping outside, travel, and other environmental and household factors, particularly at the forest-edge, although peri-domestic transmission was also evident. Intrinsic factors such as G6PD deficiency in humans were shown to have a protective benefit, in addition to conventional malaria prevention activities such as insecticide spraying of household walls. The presence of spatio-temporal case-clustering through analysis of P. knowlesi dhfr sequences was demonstrated, however was not found to be related to drug selection pressure from human-to-human transmission. Secondly, a large prospective study in three district hospitals detailed the clinical and laboratory features in children and adults with knowlesi malaria, highlighting the significant morbidity due to anaemia and acute kidney injury in children, despite an absence of severe complications in this group. A lower pyrogenic threshold was seen with lower parasitaemia compared to other Plasmodium species overall. The risk of severe disease was 6.4% in adults, with independent predictors of severe disease including age ≥45 years and parasitaemia >15,000/μL. Finally, two major randomised controlled trials for the treatment of uncomplicated knowlesi and vivax malaria in Malaysia were conducted comparing an ACT, artesunate-mefloquine, against chloroquine in adults and children. Faster parasite and fever clearance, and decreased anaemia risk at day 28 was seen in the artesunate-mefloquine arm in both studies. There were no treatment failures in the P. knowlesi study. High-grade P. vivax chloroquine resistance was demonstrated in the P. vivax study, with a 61% risk of recurrence at day 28. These studies support the use of ACT as the first-line blood stage treatment for malaria due to all Plasmodium species in this co-endemic area, which is now reflected in national Malaysian treatment guidelines.

description: Journal of Faculty of Engineering and Architecture-ÇUKUROVA University ,19 (2), 59-68. In recent years, Banjarmasin city activities have increased in all areas especially in transportation field. There is a demand on observation mode choice behaviour according to chosen route used by the city passengers. In this research, disaggregate logit model was utilized to find the optimum transportation mode which described intercity transport departing from downtown city. Observation parameters such as travel time, cost, gender/sex, occupation, and income were considered in defining the best transportation mode. Highway, sea, river, and air transportation mode routes were also included in the model. The survey data was obtained in six locations as the gateway for outgoing traffic from Banjarmasin. By using the model it was possible to describe the influence of each parameters and make decisions for future modes. The found modes were used as input data in developing transportation system for long distances.

description: Artikkelen presenterer en analyse av det norske ISA forsøket Ungtrafikk. Forsøket pågikk i Karmøy fra august 2006 til januar 2008, med 50 deltakere mellom 18 og 25 år. Det utvikles en typologi ut fra deltakernes motiv for å delta i forsøket. Denne typologien benyttes til å studere variasjoner i deltakernes holdninger til sikker ferdsel, forventinger til forsøket og deres faktiske kjøring i løpet av forsøksperioden. Analysen viser at sikkerhetsmotiverte førere kjører mer forsiktig i form av at de i mindre grad overskrider gjeldene fartsgrense og har en bedre kjørestil enn økonomisk motiverte førere, det vil si førere som primært begrunner deltakelsen med at de fikk 30 prosent reduksjon i forsikringspremien i løpet av forsøksperioden. Det er et tilsvarende skille i deltakernes motivasjon og henholdsvis forventinger til forsøket og holdninger til sikker ferdsel. Selv om typologien ikke evner å få fram en gjennomsnittskategori av deltakere gir den relevant innsikt for kunne forstå virkninger av en framtidig mer omfattende innføring av denne typen utstyr i trafikken.

Tog- og passagerregularitet på jernbaner

Publisher: name: Selected Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2007

description: Regularitet på jernbaner opgøres forskelligt, hvorfor det er svært at sammenligne regularitet mellem forskellige selskaber og lande. Opgørelse af regularitet vanskeliggøres endvidere af, at regulariteten afhænger af både kapacitetsudnyttelsen, pålideligheden, køreplanstillægget og rettidigheden. Erfaringer viser, at fokus på regularitet kan forbedre regulariteten. Fokus på regularitet kan opnås gennem fx kampagner overfor passagerer og togpersonale. Imidlertid kan et snævert fokus på togenes regularitet være skadeligt for passagerernes regularitet. Dette skyldes, at fokus på togregularitet kan resultere i, at et forsinket korresponderende tog ikke afventes, at rejsetiden forlænges for at have mere luft i køreplanerne, og at forsinkede tog aflyses for ikke at generere følgeforsinkelser. Det er muligt at opgøre regulariteten for passagerer i stedet for tog. Opgørelse af passagerregularitet i stedet for togregularitet betyder, at passagererne ikke stilles ringere ved et snævert fokus på regularitet. Brug af passagerregularitet i bod-bonus-kontrakter betyder endvidere, at der vil være fokus på at sikre så gode forhold for passagererne som muligt. Passagerernes forhold kan endvidere forbedres, ved at sikre det rette tillæg i køreplanerne i forhold til risikoen for forsinkelser og det samlede tidsforbrug, hvilket kan sikres ved simulering og vurdering af passagerforsinkelser.

description: Denne artikel beskriver et forsøg med Intelligent Farttilpasning (ISA) i Nordjylland som både er ba- seret på information og på incitament (forsikringsrabat). Dette betyder, at ISA udstyret informerer og advarer om hastighedsovertrædelser, men også giver strafpoint. Strafpoint, som efterfølgende reduce- rer en lovet bonus på bilforsikringen på 30 %. Projektet er det første ISA forsøg på verdensplan, der kombinerer information og incitament i form af forsikringsrabat. I projektet er udviklet en såkaldt On Board Unit (OBU) til ISA med en mobiltelefonforbindelse (GPRS) til en web server. OBU’en har også et avanceret mapmatching program og mulighed for opdatering af hastighedskortet ”over luf- ten”. Endvidere er hastighederne på 22.000 km vej i Nordjylland kortlagt, og der er udviklet et web- baseret opdateringsværktøj til hastighedskortet. Projektet vil løbe i tre år og målet er 300 testkørere. I udgangspunktet var målgruppen unge bilejere, men det har vist sig svært at rekruttere deltagere til projektet, så projektet er nu åbent for alle aldersgrupper. Der er i øjeblikket godt 100 deltagere i pro- jektet. De første resultater fra forsøget er lovende: På 50 km veje har deltagerne reduceret antal km, de kørte for hurtigt, fra 16 % til 3 % og på 80 km veje fra 29 % til 2 %.

description: Spar på Farten er et nordjysk Intelligent Farttilpasningsprojekt. Projektet er baseret på et princip om, at i jo mindre grad hastighedsgrænsen overskrides, jo mere sparer den enkelte forsøgsdeltager på sin bilforsikring. Når overskridelser af hastighedsgrænsen skal opgøres finansielt, er det vigtigt, at overskridelserne er baseret på korrekte hastighedsgrænser. Derfor er vedligeholdelse af hastighedskortet af vital betydning. Det udviklede kort er planlagt til at være delt mellem kommunerne i Nordjylland og projektet. På trods af det, har det vist sig, at opdateringerne fra kommunerne har været begrænset og at kun 46 % af kommunerne har indrapporteret ændringer til hastighedskortet. Det har dermed vist sig, at det er svært at basere opdatering af hastighedskort på frivillige bidrag fra kommunerne.

description: The availability of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) enables sophisticated vehicle guidance and advisory systems such as Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) systems. In ISA systems, it is essential to be able to position vehicles within a road network. Because digital road networks as well as GNSS positioning are often inaccurate, a technique known as map matching is needed that aims to use this inaccurate data for determining a vehicle’s real road-network position. Then, knowing this position, an ISA system can compare speed with the speed limit in effect and take measures against speeding. This paper presents an on-line map matching algorithm with an extensive number of weighting parameters that allow better determination of a vehicle’s road network position. The algorithm uses certainty value to express its belief in the correctness of its results. The algorithm was designed and implemented to be used in the large scale ISA project ”Spar p ̊a farten” . Using test data and data collected from project participants, the algorithm’s performance is evaluated. It is shown that algorithm performs correctly 95 % of the time and is capable of handling GNSS positioning errors in a conservative manner.

description: Forsøg med Intelligent Farttilpasning (ISA) har i det seneste årti været gennemført i og udenfor Danmark. Det første danske projekt, INFATI-projektet, blev gennemført i Nordjylland i perioden 1998-2001 og viste lovende resultater. Det igangværende ISA-projekt, Spar på Farten (SPF) er en videreudvikling af INFATI-projektets teknik og ide. SPF er et resultat af et omfattende arbejde med at udarbejde digitale hastighedskort for hele Nordjylland samt udvikling af teknologi for kontinuerlig positionsbestemmelse af køretøjer. SPF retter sig specielt mod unge bilister i Nordjylland. Disse tilbydes en rabat på deres bilforsikring på 30 %, forudsat at de ikke overskrider hastighedsgrænsen. Den kombinerede brug af ISA-udstyr og forsikringsrabat er ny. Derfor bliver der gennemført et fuldskalaforsøg, der skal belyse betydningen af henholdsvis ISA-information og forsikringsrabat. I dette paper præsenteres de første resultater af undersøgelsen. I alt foreligger hastighedsdata fra 38 unge forsøgsbilister fra projektets første 3 måneder, desuden foreligger resultater af en spørgeskemaundersøgelse, der blev besvaret af unge deltagere i SPF-projektet og også af unge bilister, der fik tilbuddet om at deltage, men ikke ønskede det. Spørgeskemaundersøgelsen skal belyse den mulige forskel i baggrund og holdning mellem deltagere og ikke-deltagere i projektet. De første resultater tyder på, at både ISA-information og kombinationen af ISA-information med incitament medfører en betragtelig reduktion i andelen af den kørte distance, hvor bilisten overskrider hastighedsgrænsen. Denne effekt ses især ved hastighedsgrænser på 80 km/t. Dette er også den hastighedsgrænse, der overskrides oftest og den hastighedsgrænse, som bilister, både i denne og tidligere undersøgelser, finder mindst acceptabel. Desuden er det netop ved denne hastighedsgrænse (typisk på landeveje), at de fleste alvorlige uheld indtræffer.

Before and after analysis of the bridge to Askøy
Creators: name: Tørset, Trude
Publisher: name: Selected Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: Askøy is an island near the city centre of Bergen, consisting of about 20 000 residents. Bergen is the second largest city of Norway consisting of about 250 000 inhabitants including the commuting area. Until the bridge “Askøybroen” was opened in December 1992, the only transport option between Askøy and Bergen was a ferry. Three travel surveys are used in this study, the first was carried out just before and the second just after the opening of the bridge. The third was carried out a few years later, giving the travel habits time to settle. The three travel surveys give us a rare opportunity to check out how the bridge influenced the travel patterns in real life, compared to how the changes were calculated in a typical four-step transport model. This paper describes problems in the transport model regarding several issues, among them how ferries are described and the relation between car-availability and car-density used in the model.

Grey Road Sections on Main Roads in Rural Areas
Creators: name: Sørensen, Michael
Publisher: name: Selected Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: This paper is based on the PhD-thesis: ”Hazardous road sections in rural areas – develop- ment, application and assessment of severity based methods for identification, analysis and improvement of hazardous road sections” (Sørensen 2006) (in Danish). The project is car- ried out in the period August 2003 to August 2006 at the Traffic Research Group at Aalborg University in a co-operation with Ringkøbing and Viborg counties. In the project methods for identification, analysis and improvement of grey (hazardous) road sections are devel- oped. However, focus in this paper is only on the identification method developed.

Year: 2006

description: Sortpletudpegning har hidtil været et vigtigt redskab til forbedring af trafiksikkerheden. Sortpletarbejde, kampagner osv. har medført, at de sorte pletter, der udpeges, er mindre farlige end tidligere, hvilket gør sortpletmetoden mindre egnet. Samtidig oplever mange kommuner, at uheldene i åbent land sker spredt, hvilket gør uheldsforebyggelsen vanskelig. Nordjyllands Amt vil med dette projekt give landets vejmyndigheder et systematisk og praktisk overkommeligt værktøj til at udpege og analysere de grå strækninger. Nordjyllands Amt har derfor i samarbejde med Via Trafik udarbejdet og testet en metode, der beskrives i denne artikel.

Agent Based Individual Trafficguidance

description: When working with traffic planning or guidance it is common practice to view the vehicles as a combined mass. From this models are employed to specify the vehicle supply and demand for each region. As the models are complex and the calculations are equally demanding the regions and the detail of the road network is aggregated. As a result the calculations reveal only what the mass of vehicles are doing and not what a single vehicle is doing. This is the crucial difference to Agent Based Individual Traffic guidance (ABIT). ABIT is based on the fact that information on the destination of each vehicle can be obtained. This information can then be used to provide individual traffic guidance as opposed to the mass information systems of today – dynamic road signs and traffic radio. The goal is to achieve better usage of the road and time. The main topic of this paper is the current development in both practical and theoretical fields concerning the realization of ABIT.

Real estate ownership and the demand for cars in Denmark
Creators: name: Nielsen, Jens Erik
Publisher: name: Selected Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: This paper examines how real estate ownership, increasing real estate values and the falling interest rates affect car demand. It uses data from the Danish Transport Diary Survey together with data from Statistics Denmark to estimate a simple partial adjustment model for car availability in Danish households. We find that car availability differs among households owning real estate and households not owning real estate. Furthermore we show that both households groups have increased their demand for cars due to the falling interest rate.

description: Vejafgifter, som middel til at reducere trængsel, er blevet et populært instrument I flere europæiske byer, herunder London og Stockholm. I den forbindelse er et aktuelt problem hvorvidt provenuet skal anvendes. Formålet I papiret er at se på tilbageførselseffekter hvis tilbageførslen sker gennem øgede investeringer I infastruktur. Dette scenario er relevant eftersom der er et vist folkeligt pres for at penge der opkræves I trafiksektoren skal tilbageføres til samme sektor. Vi viser at hvis tilbageførslen sker som en ”puljeinvestering” med mange projekter involveret, vil der ganske vist ske en øget tilgængelighed, men dog ikke stor nok til at modsvare de øgede udgifter.

description: Les femmes sont encore minoritaires dans la recherche en France : 35% de femmes parmi les chercheuses et chercheurs dans la recherche publique. Malgré un manque de chiffres, le constat d’une sous-représentation des femmes aux postes de chercheuses CNRS, maîtres de conférences ou professeures est également partagé dans nos disciplines spécifiques. Elles sont en revanche bien plus nombreuses à disposer d’un poste non-permanent et/ou à temps partiel, donc précaire.

description: Politikere i korridoren Oslo-Gøteborg-København-Berlin ønsker at binde korridoren bedre sammen og dermed skabe forudsætningerne for regional udvikling på et miljømæssigt forsvarligt grundlag. I blev 2005 udviklings- og samarbejdsprojektet Corridor of Innovation and Cooperation sat i gang. Projektet har til formål at formulere en udviklingsstrategi for politikerne, som kan tiltrædes i 2007. Ved at anvende dialogbaserede planlægningsmetoder i strategiudviklingen er det håbet at arbejdet bliver bedre forankret og at den eksisterende viden i korridoren bliver aktiveret. Dette paper diskuterer hvorledes opgaven er grebet an og hvilke resultater, der allerede nu kan aflæses.

Gratis ferger – stor og omstridt transportreform i Norge

description: Fergene har en viktig rolle innenfor norsk samferdsel. De rundt 175 fergene som var i drift i 2004, betjente til sammen 131 samband. De fraktet ca. 14 mill. personbiler, 3 mill. andre typer kjøretøy og 20 mill. personer (eksklusive sjåfør). Totale kostnader ved fergedriften var ca. 2 900 mill. norske kroner (NOK) mens inntektene var rundt 1 600 mill. NOK. At Senterpartiet - som er et av de nåværende regjeringspartiene, kom med forslag om gratis ferger foran stortingsvalget i 2005, ble således sett på som en stor transportreform. I dette notatet drøftes først de trafikale virkningene på ulike typer samband ved at fergene blir gratis. En må regne med størst trafikkøkning på lange samband med mye lokaltrafikk, med en stor andel fritidsreisende og med gode alternative transportmuligheter til fergen. Hvis trafikkøkningen på landsbasis blir mellom 10 % og 20 % samtidig med at denne trafikkøkningen møtes med økt fergekapasitet slik at fergebrukerens samlede tidskostnader ikke øker, er det anslått at de årlige positive virkningene for fergebrukerne blir omkring 1700 mill. NOK mens økt årlig tilskudd til fergedriften blir på rundt 1900 mill. NOK på grunn av bortfall av billettinntekter og økte fergekostnader. Tar en med skattekostnadene ved å finansiere økt tilskudd, er det samfunnsøkonomiske tapet ved å innføre gratis ferger anslått til rundt 500 mill. NOK per år. Selv om innføring av gratis ferger ser ut til å være samfunnsøkonomisk ulønnsomt, kan det allikevel være et fornuftig tiltak. Gratis ferger er en fordel for fergebrukerne og distriktsvennlig slik at valget til syvende og sist avhenger av hvordan en vektlegger fergebrukernes velferd kontra velferden til den øvrige befolkningen. I følge våre beregninger bør gratis ferger innføres hvis velferden til fergebrukerne vektlegges ca. 30 % høyere enn velferden til befolkningen for øvrig.
