| Summary | Urban transportation policies concerning capital investment on infrastructures, pricing and taxations of various transportation modes, subsidies for public transportation, as well as monitoring and management systems should be formulated and assessed based on fair and reasonable quantitative analyses, such as the quantitative analysis of full trip costs. Although lots of studies have examined and compared trip costs of various modes, there hasn’t been a comprehensive methodology available to analyze the full trip costs. This study aims to develop full trip cost models of urban transportation modes. First, this paper identifies components of full trip costs and analyzes the externality of various modes through intensive literature reviews. Then, the paper proposes a framework of the full trip cost models for urban transportation modes. Finally, this paper applies the models to quantify full costs of trip chains in the Taipei metropolitan and discusses implications of results on transportation policies. It is concluded that methodology developed in this study can also be applied for other cities and considered as measures of effectiveness for assessing transportation policies and strategies. |
