Résumé / Abstract
To face the competition of private motorized vehicles, intermodal transport becomes a successful condition to encourage public transport and non-motorized modes and to reasonably control the continual growth of individual motorized vehicles in the city area. Therefore, the objective of this research intends to develop a comparable calculating model combining the private, public and external costs of passenger urban transport networks. Private costs consist in the operational-private costs borne by the users. Public costs comprise the costs about the financial spending on infrastructure and maintenance. External costs include the costs of the impacts on society and the environment such as air pollution, congestion, noise pollution, traffic accidents and greenhouse effect. This model will be applied to the simulated configurations of intermodal transport networks using the inputs from the passenger transport system in the greater Paris region. The objective is to investigate some effects of urban transport policy, which in economic optimum would aims at internalizing all decomposed costs of passenger trips, on the prospective competition between the intermodal transport mode and other modes from a social perspective.
