Proposed Topic: Transition to a low carbon transport system: including time as a decision factor in transport modal choice. Preliminary scope of work: Research question and motivation I will try to analyze the travel time factors in the Czech Republic transport possibilities. Travel time, being a crucial aspect of transport economics is worth being paid a lot more attention . It helps us to understand the pro and cons of travel decision making. That can later provide a reliable source of information for future transport policies. In the last few years, there had been developed number of models to analyze the crucial aspect of European Energy roadmap 2050 .Many of these studies the possibilities of new eco-friendly technologies or sources of renewable technology. However, the behavioural aspect of transport often does not play any significant part in these models . Time is a crucial factor in the modal choice of transport. Therefore, I extend a standard energy model of the transport sector by including travel time budget and travel time investment in the model. My motivation is to analyze the importance of travel time constraint (choosing between car/train/bus), and how it could affect the CO2, NOx and other undesired emission rates, together with the energy consumption. Contribution I will contribute to the developing of detailed transport sector module in of TIMES-CZ model ((Rečka & Ščasný 2017, 2018)). I will provide a robust literature review of the value of travel time and related aspects that can be applied in transport sector modelling. Methodology I will elaborate on the method developed by Daly et al., (2014), which applies travel time budget and travel time investment to model transport modal choice. Values on-time budget and travel time investment will be obtained from literature and will be included directly into the objective function of the model.
