Many references to policy paradigms and paradigm shifts can be found in the transport studies literature. Within this literature, diverse ways of interpreting and measuring paradigms and paradigm shifts are evident. This article critically reviews how paradigms are conceived in the transport studies literature and compares these interpretations with the policy science literature where the term has been more widely studied and used. The article proposes a conceptualisation of transport policy paradigms along four key dimensions: problem framing, goals, instruments and evaluation criteria. This conceptualisation helps to increase the clarity and usefulness of the term paradigm for both researchers and practitioners in studying transformative changes in transport policy.

在交通研究文献中可以找到许多关于政策范式和范式转变的参考资料。在这些文献中，解释和测量范式和范式转变的不同方式是显而易见的。本文批判性地回顾了交通研究文献中范式是如何构思的，并将这些解释与政策科学文献进行了比较，在这些文献中，该术语得到了更广泛的研究和使用。本文提出了交通政策范式的概念化，涉及四个关键维度：问题框架、目标、工具和评估标准。这种概念化有助于提高术语范式的清晰度和实用性，以便研究人员和从业者在研究交通政策的变革性变化时。
