Abstract
Resilience has been a widely used approach to assessing the response and recovery of transportation systems to various disruptions and stresses, such as extreme weather events. However, limited studies have investigated travel behavior resilience from the demand perspective, and even fewer have delved into its relationships with the built environment. Therefore, using a taxi trip dataset in Xiamen, China, and employing an advanced machine learning method (LightGBM), this study examines the non-linear effects of the built environment on travel behavior resilience during a rainstorm. The findings are as follows: (1) Location and development intensity are the most important variables for travel behavior resilience; (2) Salient non-linear relationships exist between built-environment variables and travel behavior resilience; and (3) Apparent interaction effects exist among some variables, especially between location and others. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, offering guidance for targeted interventions to facilitate climate adaptation and enhancing resilience.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
