Widening the gap? Evidence from Germany for changes in the attitude behaviour gap for transportation during COVID-19 J. Transp. Geogr. (IF 5.7) Pub Date : 2024-07-13 Kerstin Nolte, Kerstin J. Schaefer
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

Assessing veracity of big data: An in-depth evaluation process from the comparison of Mobile phone traces and groundtruth data in traffic monitoring J. Transp. Geogr. (IF 5.7) Pub Date : 2024-07-12 Alessandro Nalin, Valeria Vignali, Claudio Lantieri, Denis Cappellari, Bruno Zamengo, Andrea Simone
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
