Showing papers in "Journal of Transport Geography in 2014"

TL;DR: The authors examine the influence of meteorological data, temporal characteristics, bicycle infrastructure, land use and built environment attributes on arrival and departure flows at the station level using a multilevel statistical model technique that is replicable for other regions to adopt.

TL;DR: This paper is the first to take a global view of bike-sharing characteristics by analysing data from 38 systems located in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australasia and the Americas and seeks to demonstrate that bike-shares have a lot to offer both as an effective method of transport and a rich source of data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate survey data from two U.S. cities to explore who is shifting toward and away from public transit as a result of bikesharing and explore this question by mapping geocoded home and work locations of respondents within Washington DC and Minneapolis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Two-step Cluster Analysis was conducted to identify natural groupings of census collection districts with similar profiles, resulting in four unique TOD clusters: (a) residential TODs, (b) activity centre TOD, (c) potential TODs and (d) TOD non-suitability).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the impacts of high speed rail on changes in in-vehicle travel time and out-of-car travel time with respect to the policy changes that reduced the operating speed of HSR trains, rearranged the train timetable, and lowered the ticket fare on HSR train.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the difference that cultural meanings make to cycling practices in four different English urban areas and discuss the role that cultures of cycling play within the four places, and suggest how the meanings of cycling, including its association with other social identities, are connected to the materials and competences seen as necessary for cycling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a methodology for measuring public transport network vulnerability taking the Madrid Metro system as an example and analyzed the consequences of disruptions of riding times or the number of missed trips with a full scan approach implemented in GIS (Geographic Information Systems).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the spatio-temporal dynamics of a large PBSP system, specifically the effects of weather and calendar events on the geographic and temporal patterning of public bicycle use.

TL;DR: In this paper, an online survey was administered to a sample of annual members of Australia's two bikeshare programs based in Brisbane and Melbourne, to assess motivations for joining the schemes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an equity assessment of the distribution of accessibility in order to define the rate of "access poverty" among the population, and apply this analysis to regional transportation plan scenarios from the San Francisco Bay Area, focusing on measures of differences between public transit and automobile access.

TL;DR: It is concluded that residents in deprived areas can and do use bicycle sharing systems if these are built in their local areas, and may do so progressively more over time, but only if the schemes remain affordable relative to other modes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the impact of the evolving HSR network on the accessibility by HSR and conventional ground transport of 333 prefecture-level cities and 4 municipalities, and employed three indicators of accessibility, and analyzed three Scenarios.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on air transport route networks through an analysis of complex networks has highlighted a lack of contributions to the study of the topology and robustness of such networks which contrasts, with advances undertaken for other transport networks or communication systems.

TL;DR: The proposed methodology visually unveiled the spatial–temporal travel behaviour dynamics of UPT passengers and, in doing so, showed the potential to contribute to a new evidence base with the capacity to inform local public transport policy.

TL;DR: In this article, changes in travel mode specific trip rates after life course (and accessibility) related key events from a gender perspective were studied. But, the associations found, as well as their gender differences are rather limited, suggesting that men and women are differently affected by life course events.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the positive and negative relationship between housing prices and proximity to light rail and highways in Phoenix, Arizona and found that proximity to transport nodes was associated significantly and positively with single-family detached home values.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that without addressing transport taboos, such as highly unequal individual contributions to transport volumes and emissions, social inequality of planned market-based measures, the role of lobbyism, and the various social and psychological functions of mobility, it will remain difficult to achieve significant emission reductions in passenger transport.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a TOD index that measures multiple spatial indicators and aggregates them under the SMCA framework to arrive at a comprehensive value depicting the existing levels of TOD at a location or an area.

TL;DR: A new vulnerability index considering the serviceability of road links is proposed and a traffic diversion plan in the event of flooding in York is outlined using traffic network modelling techniques combined with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) application.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out several possible problems of TAZs as spatial units for macroscopic safety studies and develop what they call traffic safety analysis zones (TSAZs).

TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of land use, rail service coverage, and rail station accessibility on rail transit ridership in the city of Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan region were investigated.

TL;DR: The ATNC has significantly improved in connectivity based on (1) rising alpha, beta and gamma indices, (2) declining diameter and centre index and (3) decreasing average path length and increasing clustering coefficient.

TL;DR: A case study examines a social movement that emerged in opposition to the country's first major highway concession, in Santiago, Chile (1997), challenging and changing urban planning paradigms as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The authors analyzes the changing waves and development of port geography as a sub-discipline of human geography, with a special focus on whether port geography has experienced a paradigm shift and, if so, when, why, and how.

TL;DR: This study proposes transit connectivity as a comprehensive impedance measure for equity assessment within transit planning and evaluation processes and proves effective in measuring origin and destination connectivity in the zones of the Greater Copenhagen Area in relation to their socioeconomic characteristics.

TL;DR: A new technique based on fuzzy logic and exhaustive search optimisation is used to combine vulnerability attributes with different weights into a single vulnerability index for network links, which may be used to measure the impact of disruptive events.

TL;DR: This work characterises user mobilities and produces a user typology based on cluster analysis, relying on intensity and on annual and weekly temporal patterns, which contributes to a close-reading of the interplay between BSS and other transports as well as to an improved understanding of conditions leading to a wider use of bicycles in cities.

TL;DR: This paper’s goal is to propose a set of perspectives on how mobile phones and computers might affect travel: by tapping into basic needs of travellers; by affecting some preconditions for its spatial configuration; and by altering its costs and benefits.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Web-based life history survey was conducted in 2010 and 1000 households living in major Japanese cities provided valid data, and aggregate analysis and exhaustive CHAID analysis were carried out, focusing on the occurrence times of mobilities in each biography.

TL;DR: Based on both smartcard and household travel survey data, it is found that the theoretical minimum commute is considerably lower for bus users than for car users in Beijing, suggesting that there is a greater inter-mixing of jobs–housing functions associated with users of that mode.
