Behavioural economics and its implications for transport

► We attempt to gather up the effects based on previous reviews of the literature and show the implications for transport and energy consumption. ► We show that there are several behavioural aspects of incentives on individual behaviour. ► We also show that there are a number of contextual factors on individual behaviour, such as messengers, norms, defaults, salience, priming, affect, commitment, and ego. ► As a result there are implications of this research for experimentation, and the measurement of wellbeing within transport.
