As a sustainable mode with numerous benefits, cycling offers promoting physical fitness and providing a cost-effective transport option. To promote cycling, cities worldwide are striving to increase cycling usage by improving infrastructure, and network connectivity. Understanding the magnitude of the influence of cycling infrastructure on cycling usage is vital. This paper hence aims to estimate the

The Red Sea crisis is unprecedented since the Suez Crisis of 1967 and Yom Kippur War of 1973. The crisis brings to fore attention on geopolitical tension and shipping network disruption. The study applies the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) paradigm to investigate shipping line behavior and its impact on container ports. The focus is on the Asia-Europe and Asia-Mediterranean trade routes. Market

This study aims to create a detailed urban sprawl index, investigate the relationship between density and other urban sprawl factors, and analyze how these factors affect commuting mode time in South Korean cities using structural equation modeling and multiple linear regression. Urban sprawl factors are categorized from various individual perspectives into density, urban landscape, land-use mix, centeredness

The gendered nature of travel behaviours and experiences have long been recognised in research and policy making. However, research on non-binary people and their mobility is scarce, as is the acknowledgement of a spectrum nature of gender within the transportation discipline. This paper presents the first systematic literature review, using PRISMA guidelines, of the mobility and travel experiences

As an efficient bridge linking the mainland and overseas, dry ports can not only revitalize the regional economy but also promote the growth of seaport throughput. However, the construction of dry ports is a long-cycle and high-consumption project, and it is necessary to coordinate the interests of all parties at the early stage of construction and fully consider the impact of the completed dry port

The public transport system only serves its true purpose when people living in the region have adequate and direct access to its services. Rail systems, including light rail, metro, urban, suburban, and long-distance trains, are the key fixed structural elements of any transport system that provide faster access for both shorter and longer trips and are regarded as a more efficient and environmentally

This paper explores how gasoline prices and the commuting behavior of US commuters are related, with a focus on the use of private motor vehicles, public transit, walking, and cycling. Basic economic theory suggests that as gasoline prices rise, there tends to be a decrease in the consumption of gasoline due to the substitution and income effect, leading to a reduced use of private motor vehicles by

This paper presents the research outcomes of a study on the spatial transitions of areas around the highway interchanges of the eastern section of the A4 highway in Poland. We hypothesise that the changes that occur in the areas around these interchanges are a direct result of the construction and use of the new highway. The aim of this research was to determine the nature and scale of these transformations

In cities, carbon emissions associated with commuting transport is large and significant. This study integrates data about the jobs-housing relationship, road network configurations, public transport availability, and real-time traffic conditions during peak hours to evaluate the commuting feasibility and performance of green travel modes (walking, cycling and public transport) and explore the potential

Urban transportation and planning are at a pivotal juncture, requiring a nuanced understanding of the built environment's impact on dockless bike sharing (DBS) to metro transfer trips. Existing methodologies, often focused on DBS trips around metro stations or limited by scant datasets, overlook the pressing need for a method to discern large-scale DBS-metro trips as DBS becomes a standard feeder mode

With the global rise of bike-sharing programs (BSP), planners and traffic experts have raised concerns as to whether the rapid growth of BSP ensures cycling safety. Despite numerous studies on built environments encouraging bike usage, there is limited knowledge whether streetscape environments around BSP stations affect bicycle accidents. We address this gap by investigating the relationships between

High-speed railway (HSR) stations play an important role in shaping the development/redevelopment of the surrounding areas. While different studies have been conducted to explore station area development, they tend to simplify the conceptualisation of station area development and lack a comprehensive perspective that captures how different variables at multiple levels are interacted with station area

Proximity of transit-oriented development (TOD) goals to polycentric urban development in the field of controlling negative effects of urban sprawl reinforces polycentricity and TOD-ness spatial synergy. Furthermore, identification of transit-oriented neighborhoods that have high potential to become secondary employment centers (ECs) is one of the most important challenges facing urban transport planners

Shipping companies are key drivers of maritime trade and crucial in the development of container shipping networks. Each company's strategy shapes differences in port services and shipping routes, creating a complex and interconnected global container shipping network that is difficult to analyze using single-layer or aggregated models. This paper introduces a novel multiplex network modeling approach

The North Korean economy is experiencing a deepening economic and political crisis since the early 1990s. Although North Korea is not commonly seen as a shipping nation, its major cities are coastal, and it hosts nine international trading ports. However, little is known about the role of maritime transport in its development. This article uses vessel movement data to reconstitute the maritime network

Taxis have provided on-demand mobility for decades, including to people earning the lowest incomes. However, studies reveal gaps in taxi service across many US cities due to factors such as fleet size limitations, information asymmetry, and discriminatory practices. Since 2010, the emergence of ride-hail services such as Uber and Lyft has revolutionized the transportation landscape, offering faster

Understanding the role of street network configuration on commuter cycling can aid city planners in assessing and evaluating interventions to promote regular cycling into people's routines. Studies examining this relationship generally build models on observed cycling counts. While this provides valuable information, it could still result in an incomplete picture because some routes with advantages

The port governance literature has charted the trend towards devolution of port services to the private sector, also showing how the increasing influence of external private actors such as shipping lines and global terminal operators affects decisions on expansion and service provision, producing a more multifaceted and polycentric kind of port governance. In this paper we extend these notions to cover

Although several health benefits are associated with cycling, this mode of active transport remains underrepresented. Studies have shown that individuals' preferred mode of transport is influenced by the environment in which they travel. While macro-environmental factors shape active transport, micro-environmental aspects offer adaptable solutions. In this paper, we used novel and promising Virtual

Throughout the years, the European Commission has allocated significant financial resources to road infrastructure construction, based on the belief that it would boost, socioeconomic development. However, literature evidence shows it is not consensual whether those investment policies will yield the expected outcomes. The main goal of this work is to shed light on where, and to what extent, accessibility

In numerous contemporary megacities and their peripheries, subways play an indispensable role within the public transportation system. These cities have established transit networks that revolve around each subway station by means of bus connections. To ensure the subway system's effectiveness, it is imperative for passengers to transfer seamlessly from buses without significant delays.

Policymakers have adopted built environment policies to modify people's travel behavior and the related emissions. However, few studies have examined the interactive impact between income level and built environment attributes on travel-related carbon emissions (TCE), and only several studies consider their nonlinear relationships. With data from the Twin Cities, US, this study estimated the nonlinear

This research addresses the interplay between spatial factors and consumers' on-demand food delivery (ODFD) usage with special attention to three aspects: (1) the contextualization of spatial food environments, whereby different spatial measurements (food accessibility vs. food presence) and zone definitions are compared to select the appropriate variables. Also, the study is not confined to dining

Air pollution, an unexpected event, poses a significant threat to public health and affects human mobility. Ride-hailing provides an effective way to understand how human mobility adapts to air pollution. This study examines a week-long ride-hailing demand dataset from Chengdu, China, to evaluate the resilience of ride-hailing services (or ride-hailing resilience) in the face of poor air quality. A

This paper proposes a holistic framework to identify public transport disadvantaged areas in terms of the level of services (LOS), area-based accessibility, and facility-based accessibility by employing the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) dataset. The framework considers the spatial and temporal levels of transit services, the spatial separation by urban functional areas, the availability

Multiple Airport Regions (MARs) are an increasingly important element of air transportation, enabling capacity distribution, providing redundancies, and potentially improving accessibility for passengers. Prime examples for MARs include London, New York, and Tokyo, and the Greater Bay Area (GBA) in China. The scientific community has investigated MAR-phenomena for nearly 40 years now; with the first

The City of Stockholm is conducting a scenario planning exercise to explore where potential future office development should be planned: closer to the city centre as in the status quo, in peripheral hubs on the outskirts of the city, or dispersed throughout multiple neighbourhoods. To support this exercise, this paper models these three scenarios using a nested work location and dynamic activity-based

Improving public transport accessibility (PTA) has been considered as an effective measure for promoting sustainable urban development. Based on the grid-level data in Nanjing, China, this paper explores the spatially heterogeneous effects of PTA on road traffic CO emissions using a geographically weighted random forest (GWRF) model. A simulation-based counterfactual analysis framework is further proposed

Cycling to school improves access to education for children, provides them physical activity benefits, and gives them independence in mobility. There is a poor understanding of the levels of cycling to school, who cycles, and how these behaviours have changed over time in India. We address this major research gap using data from the three rounds, covering a decade (2007, 2014, and 2017), of a popu

Electric mobility is critical to reducing emissions from transport and dependency on Internal Combustion Engine vehicles. This study attempts to model the suitability of the built environment for electric vehicle (EV) adoption in urban areas based on sociodemographics and access to driveways for installing charging infrastructure. A novel approach using geospatial techniques is adopted to detect driveways

Shared micromobility in the U.S. has rebound after the decline caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a substantial increase in the adoption of shared e-bikes nationwide. However, research on hybrid e-bike sharing, which combines station-based and dockless systems, is limited. This study addresses this gap by comparing spatial determinants of hybrid e-bike and dockless e-scooter sharing link flows in

There have been rising concerns over the unequal geographical distribution of bicycle sharing services in cities. Previous research on inequalities of urban bikeshare has often focused on quantitatively mapping inequalities with big data from travel records. It has thus been unable to examine the causes, reproduction mechanisms, and consequences of observed spatial inequalities in detail. Using the

Current methods of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) for transport investments rely on travel-time savings for potential users. This approach presents a consistent and significant historical trend of forecast inaccuracy, and thus has been questioned and criticized. Access, or the ease of reaching valued destinations, can be used as an alternative. Access features a strong correlation with land value which

Transportation continues to be a significant contributor to CO emissions and may potentially be the final sector to reach its carbon peak in the future. Identifying the drivers of transportation CO emissions (TCE) and understanding their changing patterns is crucial to effectively control TCE. However, previous studies can only obtain fixed parameter values of TCE influencing factors throughout the

In the context of diverse urban building density, creating pedestrian-friendly cities is crucial for sustainable development. However, previous studies have revealed potential variations in the influence of building density on walking and in the associations between built environment factors and walking across different building densities. The reasons behind these variations have not been thoroughly

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems have witnessed significant growth worldwide, particularly in rapidly urbanizing cities in the developing world, often implemented through public-private partnerships to foster economic growth. However, the success of such ambitions relies on ensuring equitable transit access for all residents, including those living with poverty or other social disadvantages. The purpose

As car ownership and urbanization continue to rise worldwide, traffic crashes have become growing concerns globally. Measuring crash risk provides insight into understanding crash patterns, which can eventually support proactive transport planning and improve road safety. However, traditional spatial analysis methods for crash risk assessment, such as the hotspot detection method, are mainly focused

Encouraging travel to higher-order centers is important for enhancing the quality of life of rural residents and promoting rural development. Although the literature shows that the built environment influences travel behavior, few studies have explored the relationship between the built environment and the frequency of travel to higher-order centers, particularly in rural contexts. Even less attention

While established studies have explored interventions in the built environment (BE) and transportation sector to mitigate travel carbon emissions (TCE), planners still struggle to determine the most effective units of intervention, identify key variables, and determine their optimal values. This study addresses the gap by employing the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model to create a multi-scale

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced travel choices and the effective functioning of public transport. However, research into the pandemic's effects on public transport, specifically considering the combined impact of both risk perception and prevention tactics, remains limited. This study aims to examine the effect of COVID-19 on passengers' reliance on public transport, considering

Increasing accessibility and improving cycling safety are the primary objectives of cities and policymakers. In the literature, there are several studies examining cycling safety and few studies examining cycling accessibility. However, few studies conduct a joint examination of these two topics to understand the relationship between them. This paper aims to develop and apply a methodological framework

This study introduces a novel method for assessing spatial access to supermarkets in the United States, addressing limitations of the US Department of Agriculture Food Access Research Atlas definition. Our method eliminates the food desert poverty requirement and derives empirical time-based thresholds that reflect a nuanced urban/rural spectrum and regional differences in normative drive times. Using

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reshaped travel patterns globally, prompting shifts in mobility preferences and behaviors. After controling for temporal trends and weather, this paper investigates the impacts of the pandemic on station-based bike-sharing and ride-hailing services in New York City (NYC), spanning the periods before, during, and after the pandemic. Specifically, we examine how

Transportation research on Latine migrant workers has increased in the past decade, revealing the difficulties that can arise for migrants who are often undocumented, isolated, and subject to unfair treatment at work. This study focuses on the transportation experiences and challenges of migrants from Latin America residing in the largely rural border state of Vermont. We conducted semi-structured

Commuting and working, as important parts of workers' daily life, significantly influence their subjective well-being. However, the complicated interplay among short-term commute or work activity satisfaction, medium-term domain satisfaction and long-term life satisfaction remains unclear. Utilizing the survey data on transportation and well-being of Beijing's residents in 2022, this study explores

The increase in the share of motorization in short-distance trips is a significant contributor to the decline in the share of active travel (AT) and will further pose a challenge to sustainable transport. While many studies have explored the relationship between the built environment (BE) and AT, few have focused on short trips. Additionally, most studies have ignored the important role of the streetscape

Against the backdrop of the strong market expansion of free-floating bikeshare systems (FFBS), the future of government-funded station-based bikeshare system (SBBS) is a matter of controversy. Merely relying on point density analysis proves to be inadequate in reflecting the flow characteristic, this paper employs a flow clustering analysis to investigate the relationship between SBBS and FFBS. To

Understanding how people choose routes in urban environments is essential for effective urban planning. While conventional transportation studies focus on utilitarian decision-making, this research investigates the complex interplay between human-environment interactions and emotional attachments to places, which influence transportation choices. Specifically, we examine the impact of sense of place

Customized bus services (CBS) lines have been increasingly added in cities to better serve diversified travel needs. The notable variations in the built environment across the downtown and suburbs could result in wide differences in local customers' behaviors and preferences. The allocation of CBS stops thus needs to be considered separately in urban centers and peripheries to ensure the best performance

As the sharing economy expands in China, the emergence of ride-hailing services has diminished the market share of the taxi industry. As a regulated and publicly convenient service with a dedicated customer base, traditional taxi industry needs to improve its own competitiveness and maintain its market share. However, the specific circumstances under which taxis can gain a competitive edge over ride-hailing

While there is a global shift to electric vehicles (EVs), few studies have comprehensively quantified the relative contribution of individuals' demographic characteristics, alternative transportation choices, and built environment (BE) attributes to EV ownership. Applying extreme gradient boosting decision trees to the 2020 regional household travel data in Wuhan, this study estimate the respective

Transportation is a main contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. For a sustainable transformation, consumers play a crucial role. While sustainability gains importance and is reflected in consumers' attitudes, consumers' behaviour does not always align with their sustainability attitudes - a discrepancy called the attitude behaviour gap. The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted people's daily

Transport and gender are intrinsically intertwined. However, traditionally, transport planning has tended to favor the travel needs of adult men in home-work trajectories, thereby ignoring women's distinct experiences and needs. More recently, scholars have looked at the relationship between transport and gender, highlighting important discrepancies in travel behavior (e.g., mode, purpose, time of

Veracity is a critical dimension of Big Data, as it is related to the quality of data. Its role is even more important when Big Data are supposed to be a counterpart or a substitute of official data. While the former is usually unstructured and the collecting procedures are unsupervised, the latter is collected in accordance to strict and rigorous methodologies. Mobile phone traces, alternatively called

Human mobility can be considered an effective adaptation strategy in response to environmental risks, given that adverse environmental conditions are often temporary and adaptation may not always be feasible or desirable. Despite its importance, the concept of short-term mobility as a behavioral response to environmental hazards has been understudied in geographies of health and place and behavioral

In the TIS-based innovation policy mix lens (Kivimaa and Kern, 2016), this paper investigates Dhaka City's low-emission transport policy mix (2000−2021), adopting document analysis and policy mapping exercises in an abductive research approach.The policy mix was geared towards influencing incremental but transformative transport regime change rather than niche stimulation and regime destabilization

Regularity is typically defined based on the repetitive travel behavior of individuals, referring to how often travelers would utilize a specific service within a given spatio-temporal context. However, previous research on metro users' regularity primarily utilized basic metric, for example metro trip frequency, to measure regularity. What's more, metro smart card data typically encompasses time,

Severe weather events, such as snowfall, flooding and storms, may affect wide geographical areas and adversely impact discrete transport infrastructure networks (e.g. road, rail) at the same time, thus revealing the existence of geographic interdependencies between these networks. In this paper, we develop two accessibility-based measures to assess the impact of geographic interdependency on resilience

Flood disasters threaten urban sustainability, requiring community involvement and resource allocation. However, research on the link between emergency resource accessibility and residents' participation willingness in flood response is lacking. To fill this gap, we surveyed 1351 respondents in Zhengzhou and used the Community Capitals Framework to explore their nonlinear associations. Results show
