This investigation focuses on people like Gaby, Martin, Émilie and Jean, men and women whose lives are shaped by their transport experience. Their day to day is made real in this graphic novel, revealing to the reader the many forms and perceptions of work-related mobility. Far from usual stereotypes of highly mobile people, this book is a window into the lives of people we see and meet all the time. These slices of life are accompanied by a text written by the researchers who conducted the investigation, p

Is it possible to discern correlations between past and present urban policies? Do path dependencies exist at the urban level? If so, how do they differ from other links between the past and present? A preview of the literature dealing with dependencies an ...

Encouraging a modal shift from individual transportation to less polluting modes such as public transport, walking and cycling, is now a key recommendation of the UN to reach the goals set by the Paris Agreement. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a de ...

In the context of a global health crisis, digital tools play a growing role in daily lives of students and working people. Many people now work from home and study online. Do these virtual exchanges replace spatial mobility? To answer this question in this ...

Describing, understanding, explaining and regulating mobility requires transversal approaches. Traditionally, mobility analysis proceeds by partitioning into four differentiated forms according to two dimensions: the temporality of which it is based and th ...

The INDMOB research project examines, through a rigorous methodological approach based on the analysis of collected data and the examination of mobility trends (among 24,577 surveyed individuals), the evolution of travel habits among the Ticino population and Italian cross-border workers employed in the Canton of Ticino between 2019 and 2023. Specifically, the analysis focused on the effects on the population's daily travel choices following the inauguration of the Ceneri Base Tunnel (GBT) and the implement

Saint-Gobain’s Multi-Comfort approach (2017) promotes the importance of four criteria that can ensure comfort in the built environment: thermal, acoustic, visual and air quality comforts. Although this approach is transversal, other aspects that relate to ...

This paper investigate the causal relationships that exist between the motility, defined as the personal ability to be mobile (Kaufmann et al., 2015), and mobility behaviors. To do so, we use the first wave (2018) of the "national daily mobility panel" sur ...
