Urban Sustainability and Transportation: Research Framework for Medium and Long Term Transport Planning<br />
K.W. Axhausen is Professor of Transport Planning at the ETH Zürich.<br />
Prior to this, he worked at the Leopold-Franzens Universität, Innsbruck,<br />
Imperial College London, the University of Oxford and the Universität<br />
Karlsruhe. He has been involved in the measurement and modelling<br />
of travel behaviour for the last 25 years, contributing especially to the<br />
literature on stated preferences, micro-simulation of travel behaviour,<br />
valuation of travel time and its components, parking behaviour, activity<br />
scheduling and travel diary data collection. His current work focuses on<br />
the agent-based micro-simulation toolkit MATSim (see www.matsim.org) and on the land-use/<br />
transport interaction.<br />
Alex Erath is currently senior researcher and research module<br />
coordinator at the Future Cities Laboratory. He obtained his PhD<br />
from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH where he studied<br />
the vulnerability of transport infrastructure. He was also involved<br />
in various projects focusing on measuring and modelling transport<br />
related decision processes. His MSc. thesis in Civil Engineering at<br />
ETH on shopping location choice was awarded with the VSS price<br />
