TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore who uses ridesourcing and for what reasons, how the ridesourcing market compares to that of traditional taxis, and how ridesourcing impacts the use of public transit and overall vehicle travel.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) model to establish a passenger satisfaction evaluation model for urban rail transit in China, and applied a structural equation modeling (SEM) method and its parameter estimation method: Partial Least Squares (PLS).

TL;DR: In this article, the availability of the constituent elements of bus-and cycle-commuting practices is crucial for modal shift to occur, but they are often absent, and they also draw attention to time-space contingencies that render recruitment to low-carbon commuting practices more or less likely.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the motivations and behaviors of casual carpoolers in the San Francisco Bay Area to understand user characteristics and motivations, and found that the main motivations for casual car-pooling participation include convenience, time savings, and monetary savings, while environmental and community-based motivations ranked low.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of travel behavior and vehicle ownership among carshare members versus non-members in the San Francisco Bay Area, focusing on a subsample of the population with access to carsharing at the U.S. census tract level.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the total cost of ownership (TCO) of electric passenger vehicles in Germany on a component-based approach and gave an estimation about the further development until 2050.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified the driving factors and measures their corresponding contributions in transportation energy consumption for the case of Tunisia by using the logarithmic-mean divisia index method (LMDI) over the period 1985-2014.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated e-bikes' use patterns over a 6-year period and developed choice models to investigate factors influencing mode-transition and motorization pathways.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the studies focusing on mode switch to public transport (PT) with emphasis on factors influencing commuters' willingness to make transfers is presented in this paper, which is categorized into three perspectives: psychological, operational and policy.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey technique based on hierarchy processes was developed to estimate the stated importance of quality attributes, and compared the results with the derived importance obtained using conventional surveys with the same sample.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a two-stage structural equation modeling and segmentation process to identify likely electric vehicle adopters in Canada using a sample of 3505 households who have expressed an interest in the future purchase of an economy car, using a structural equation model to quantify the impacts of personal beliefs on individual adoption intention towards electric vehicles.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed costs, emissions, and climate impact by freight shipping in the Arctic with main focus on the Northern Sea Route, which goes from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean along the Russian Arctic coast and reduces voyage distance by 40% between Northern Europe and Japan.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the influence of city features and socioeconomic and socio-cultural variables on mobility patterns to identify evidence-based policy interventions for promoting more inclusive and sustainable transportation paths.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors found that city governments in China are likely to put stations outside established suburban centers, by putting metro stations at relatively underdeveloped places, which can lower right-of-way cost and gain more revenue from future land transactions.

TL;DR: In this article, a spatial hedonic study examines how the property value effects of rail transit can become volatile depending on housing markets, rail transit technologies, near-station land uses and transit development phases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated and modeled the choice to switch from a private car trip to a carsharing service available in peripheral parks as well as the propensity to choose an electric vehicle for such a service.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used smart card transactions to estimate the share of users who are willing to travel in the opposite direction during the first part of their trip and the average train occupancy per section to estimate differences in the valuation of travel time sitting and standing, translated into a standing multiplier or standing premium.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that there is a close relationship between global competitiveness and the logistics efficiency of a country and analyzes the validity of these relations using an artificial neural network (ANN) and cumulative belief degrees (CBD) approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Fuzzy-DEA models to capture vagueness in input and output measurements obtained from Nigerian airports and treated these results by bootstrapped truncated regressions to control the random effects inherent to any sample.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new framework for incorporating justice considerations into decision-making association with transport service provision is proposed, based on the capabilities approach developed by Sen and Nussbaum.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Malmquist productivity index (classical and bootstrapping) to assess the operational performance of 21 Turkey airports during the period of 2009 through 2014.

TL;DR: A conceptual framework holistically linking transportation to QOL was developed and policy recommendations were provided to more comprehensively integrate QOL into the transportation planning process.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonparametric statistical method, hierarchical tree-based regression (HTBR) model, was applied to explore university student travel frequency and mode choice patterns in China, using the data collected by a web-based travel survey.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified TAM model was used to understand how to establish green loyalty for public bike schemes using a modified version of the technology acceptance model (modified TAM) and found that the mediation effect of perceived fun to use has stronger power than perceived ease of use.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a technical efficiency analysis of container ports in Latin America and the Caribbean using an input-oriented stochastic frontier model and employed a 10-year panel with data on container throughput, port terminal area, berth length, and number of available cranes in 63 ports.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the experienced transfer disutility of a transfer between BTM and train, based on a web-based stated preference (SP) experiment with over 1145 respondents.

TL;DR: In this article, the competitiveness of three major international hub ports in Northeast Asia, namely the ports of Busan, Tokyo, and Kaohsiung, from a logistics perspective employing a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making approach incorporating the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and gray relational analysis (GRA).

TL;DR: It is found that for an average user, traveling one mile for a vehicle or rescheduling a trip by up to one hour are each approximately equivalent to a US$2/hour increase in vehicle price, which acts as a conduit to introduce users to new vehicle technology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an accurate analysis of the relationship between the different forms of road pricing and their effective role in terms of carbon reduction, which in some contexts is significant, accounting for an overall percentage higher than 10%.

TL;DR: This study aimed to update a systematic review by searching peer-reviewed and unpublished literature of economic evaluations of transport interventions that incorporate the health related effects of physical activity into transport appraisal by demonstrating that methodological progress has been made.
