It is evident from literature studies that the majority of LUTI models need extensive data, making them expensive and time-consuming, which will be a challenge for developing countries. On the other hand, with the advent of information and communication technology, the availability of high frequency (HF) data is increasing which can be collected at disaggregated level data frequently at little or no cost. The main focus of this research is trying to bridge the gap that exists between research with this type of data and it subsequent application in real context. On the basis of this, the paper focuses on (1) summarizing existing LUTI models and their corresponding data requirements; (2) explaining the sources of HF data in LUTI modelling; and (3) discussing the applications and challenges in implementation of such data in LUTI modelling. This review identifies the recent development of technology and availability of HFD can fill the gap of data availability for LUTI which has been discussed by a great number of authors in literature. Furthermore this kind of novel source of data can increase the potential of LUTI model particularly in developing countries, where land use and transport patterns are changing rapidly and where traditional forms of data are expensive to collect.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100131,"journal":{"name":"Asian Transport Studies","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100092"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49713188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In-depth analysis of 110 questionnaires indicated that the public transport users perceived a higher-level accessibility due to convenience, affordability, and no congestion, while private transport users had low-level perception. The stereotypes of public transport appeared to nullify the benefits of public transport. Furthermore, most individuals had complicated attitudes about a certain mode, and positive feeling was not necessarily related to mode choice. For “access-for-all”, considering objective and subjective measures holistically is essential for interrogating critical issues of transport system and optimizing positive travel experiences.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100131,"journal":{"name":"Asian Transport Studies","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49728581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By considering both airport degree and route traffic, network characteristics are analyzed, and the key airports are determined based on network evaluation. The results show that the airline network is robust due to its mixed hub-and-spoke network structure, which is basically dominated by direct flights between airports.
