TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pointed out the importance of determining the impact of ride-hailing (ridesourcing) on vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT), and thus on transport externalities like congestion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe how ports and harbors are facing stiff competition for market share and delivering more effective and secure flow of goods worldwide, and highperforming ports are implementing smart technologies to better...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define app-based ride-hailing services to include taxi, taxi pooling, and ride-sharing services to influence passengers' travel behavior significantly.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature on the three shared e-mobility modes focusing on their usage pattern, demand estimation, and potential impacts, and found that despite the different vehicle capabilities, all three shared E-Mobility services are mainly used for short trips, and their current users are mostly male, middle-aged people with relatively high income and education.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have shown that there has been little empirical research on green image in the airline industry, since there has no empirical evidence on the green image of airlines.

TL;DR: The test on a real network of the southeast region of Melbourne in Australia verifies the feasibility of the proposed model and draws managerial insights for the location and configuration of BSSs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the supply of shared cars in an on-demand scenario and show that the number of cars in the market can be increased by a factor of 1.

TL;DR: In Sweden, electric buses are growing in numbers in Sweden, which contributes to the development of a fossil fuel free society and a reduction of emissions as discussed by the authors, which is a good thing.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use spatially rich bicycle infrastructure data to understand determinants of ridership, equity of access, and potential for future future growth in bicycling, including the potential of future bike lanes.

TL;DR: In this article, crime statistics is one indicator that reflects the correlation between built environments and public safety, and crime statistics are used as an indicator of the design and construction professionals' responsibility to design environments that can assure public safety.

TL;DR: There is extensive theoretical literature that looks at factors that make people more or less likely to change their opinions as additional information is gathered as mentioned in this paper, and people whose opinions are less l...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on quantifying environmental impact of asphalt pavement preservation at construction and use stage using life-cycle assessment (LCA) approach and quantified the environmental degradation caused by pavement preservation.

TL;DR: Differences in cycling levels between the two cities are related to the overall mobility culture of the two city (in particular different policies, norms and infrastructure), while individual/micro-level factors appear rather inadequate for understanding urban differences.

TL;DR: In many countries, urbanization has seen a rapid increase in demand for mobility in cities as mentioned in this paper, and much of this demand is met by private vehicles, of which conventionally powered two-wheelers sign...

TL;DR: The proliferation of e-commerce in the recent years has been recognized to have a huge impact on transportation owing to the increasing need for last-mile deliveries in urban areas.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that this model, as opposed to the previous studies in the literature developed at the station-level, can provide new insights into system-level causality and temporal lag characteristics and the results of investment scenario analysis show that there is a higher effective “discount rate” for ridership benefits from front-loading all of the investment.

TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of reduced visibility under hazy weather conditions on collision risk and car-following behavior were examined to enhance the understanding of relationships among weather conditio...

TL;DR: The creation of an efficient public transport system increasingly requires collaboration between independent organizations as mentioned in this paper, which is a challenge in many public transport systems in the world, such as public transport management.

TL;DR: Theoretically, transit-oriented development (TOD) can enhance accessibility by providing a relatively high level of transport connections and high density, mixed-use, cycling-and pedestrian-friend as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a large-scale implementation of an electric road system in Norway and Sweden by identifying: (i) which roads; (ii) how much of the road network; and (iii) which vehicl...

TL;DR: In this paper, public acceptability is a major concern for road pricing schemes in Western countries but has not yet been sufficiently studied in the context of Chinese cities, a number of which are considering t...

TL;DR: The increasing traffic congestion and pollution in cities is seriously threatening the livability and development of urban areas as mentioned in this paper, as a result, the growing importance of transit accessibility is att att...

TL;DR: It is concluded that good esthetic quality should include design beauty and the design that could create a good UX for the users and a number of modifications to BSS are suggested for improving UXs in the context of battery swapping system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors state that "governments globally have endorsed Vision Zero, declaring that no person should be killed or permanently injured on public roads." and "the wider social, public health, and environmental im...

TL;DR: Singapore enacted legislation in which off-road footpaths are shared by pedestrians and users of active mobility devices [bicycles, and personal mobility devices such as electric scooter (ES) since May 2018, and ratings were made on perceived degree of safety, feeling of anger, and celerity of movement.

TL;DR: Policy makers and planners are provided with useful policy-relevant information related to the impact of outdoor tracks and weather conditions on the metro system interruptions that could be used to support higher capital investments when planning rail transit systems to achieve the system resilience.

TL;DR: In this paper, the factors affecting walking behavior have become an interesting issue among sustainable transportation researchers, and walking studies which have examined gender in relation to tri-triangulation have been examined.

TL;DR: Using bicycle dynamic movements along the roadway, the authors found that the average y-axis acceleration and the mean absolute deviation of z-axis velocity are significant to determine the cycling comfort level.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors look at differences in travel behavior and location characteristics across income in Chengdu, China at two points of time, 2005 and 2016, using household travel surveys.

TL;DR: This study proposes an approach for understanding the spatiotemporal patterns of bicycle sharing activities by analyzing bicycle usage data streams from approximately 1500 bicycle stations collected at one-minute intervals for the entire month of October 2012 and applies a fuzzy clustering algorithm to cluster bicycle stations into various types based on temporal distribution of usage over a day.
