Absztrakt

Economic instruments provide an opportunity to influence the sustainability of mobility positively. It is important to understand the distribution of mobility forms in terms of functional space use and individual and social utility to understand the effects of applying economic instruments. Economic instruments affect social utility by influencing individual decisions based on the technical characteristics of functional space use. This paper explores these relationships, which can help determine where and to what extent currently preferred economic instruments have an impact. The model allows for identifying areas where the use of financial instruments is expected to have significant utility. This article presents the details and internal connections of the developed four-dimensional model. The created model is a suitable tool for more accurately assessing the effects of economic instruments in the future.
