Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to analyze the impacts of electric mobility in the transportation patterns using a spatial interaction model, with alternative transportation modes and implicit accessibility networks. Beyond the introduction, the paper is divided into three parts: a) In the first part we design the spatial interaction model for the islands with alternative modes of transportation and implicit accessibility networks; b) In the second part we estimate the prospective demand for electric mobility based on data from a choice experiment; c) in the third part we try to understand the impacts of the attributes of electric mobility in the transportation patterns of the Azores.
