Abstract
Abstract
Transport research is a multidisciplinary field that extends beyond technical aspects. As such, it can provide significant insights into societies, economies, and cultures. In this study, we take a broader perspective that encompasses transport, interaction, and connectivity. These three terms are interconnected, with transport and interaction being interdependent sub-systems. Transport research encompasses means of transport, local, regional, and supra-regional networks, transport infrastructure, and the items transported. In turn, interaction research focusses on interaction networks, groups, and intensities. The concept of connectivity adds a layer of complexity, enabling a better understanding of the sub-systems and the system as a whole by considering the balance of opportunities and limitations. This article aims to demonstrate how the various approaches and concepts are related and to outline an integrated and systematic research approach.
