Researchers have derived PCE based on capacity, headway, queue discharge, and delay in the past. However, it is not clear if the influence of trucks on the operational performance of roads would be the same in terms of travel time. The focus of this research is to assess the influence of trucks on the transportation system performance from a travel time perspective. The travel time data for Mecklenburg County (urban area) and Iredell County (rural area) were gathered for the year 2017 and processed to generate sixty-nine datasets accounting for the area type, temporal variation, reference speed, and traffic condition. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression models were then developed to examine the relationship between the travel time of trucks (dependent variable) and the travel time of passenger cars (explanatory variable). The coefficients indicate that the average travel time (ATT) of trucks is greater than the ATT of passenger cars irrespective of the dataset used for analysis, except in two cases of Iredell County. The ATT of trucks could be up to 1.18 times the ATT of passenger cars in some cases. The area type, day-of-the-week (DOW), time-of-the-day (TOD), reference speed of the link, and traffic condition at the time of data collection all seem to influence the ATT of trucks at different scales compared to the ATT of passenger cars.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100933,"journal":{"name":"Multimodal Transportation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772586322000314/pdfft?md5=b86412b6c25a5363c8be9b30a2f2614b&pid=1-s2.0-S2772586322000314-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72109904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the collective scientific understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 pandemic are rapidly increasing, currently there is a lack of understanding of how the COVID-19 relates to public transport operations. This article presents a comprehensive survey of the current research on COVID-19 transmission mechanisms and how they relate to public transport. We critically assess literature through a lens of disaster management and survey the main transmission mechanisms, forecasting, risks, mitigation, and prevention mechanisms. Social distancing and control on passenger density are found to be the most effective mechanisms. Computing and digital technology can support risk control. Based on our survey, we draw guidelines for public transport operators and highlight open research challenges to establish a research roadmap for the path forward.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100933,"journal":{"name":"Multimodal Transportation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772586322000302/pdfft?md5=446f7743fa2cf03bf77074597b9075d2&pid=1-s2.0-S2772586322000302-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72109905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has resulted in the need for an urban consolidation center (UCC) to minimize travel and optimize deliveries, particularly in student accommodation settings. In this paper, we examine how an optimal consolidation center can improve urban freight transport. We conducted a multi-method and in-depth case study of student halls of residence within a UK higher education institution. In addition, we analyzed a rich secondary dataset including location, parcel, and vehicle data. We developed and tested three scenarios to present an optimal urban consolidation scenarios model using a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) solver; indicating the transportation costs, distance travelled, and CO<sub>2</sub> emitted. The operationalization of the optimal UCC as well as the limitations on direct and indirect cost, accessibility, and collaboration are discussed. Our findings show the impact of having an ideal pickup point that would give students the ability to collect their parcels effortlessly and make the return of goods easier for students. As such, we extend extant studies on the implications for urban consolidation center theory and practice.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100933,"journal":{"name":"Multimodal Transportation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772586322000326/pdfft?md5=34cc8d1e6058681e921991d4d73f0c7d&pid=1-s2.0-S2772586322000326-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72109936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Second, this study seeks to provide the transportation and management science researchers with an overview of the literature on the optimization problems for the carsharing service operations and offer directions for future research. We classify the literature into three categories, i.e., strategic, tactical, and operational, according to the level of the decisions involved in the optimization problems.
