We focused on healthcare, restaurants, and grocery destinations in Chicago. Data from Chicago ridehailing providers, which included detailed information about all realized ridehailing trips in Chicago, were used to derive mean travel times by ridehailing for each census tract. Inspired by the gravity-based model, we calculated an inverse travel time index based on cumulative travel times for each census tract where ridehailing trips occurred. To understand the disparities in travel times, we compared the inverse travel time index for ridehailing and transit in the same census tracts. Then, we applied spatial autoregressive regression to examine the effects of various sociodemographic factors. The results suggested that the inverse travel time index was preferable in tracts with a higher household income and a lower percentage of minority populations. Also, disparities in travel times tended to be greater via ridehailing than transit. This study sheds light on disparities related to ridehailing and how we could improve access to essential destinations for underserved and underrepresented populations and communities. Policy implications include subsidizing disadvantaged users who lack reliable transportation options, regulating ridehailing prices, increasing the provision of essential destinations for underserved areas, and maintaining the quality of public transit services.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552491","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}

However, severe weather conditions (e.g., heavy rainfall, snow, thunderstorms, etc.) can adversely impact the service operation, leading to problems such as in-vehicle overcrowding, delays, and trip cancellations. In this study, we propose a novel approach to address in-vehicle overcrowding issues during weather disruptions. In this approach, we dynamically reassign buses from low-demand trips to lines where the expected demand exceeds the capacity threshold of the in-service buses. This way, the existing capacity is utilized more efficiently without requiring additional vehicles or drivers. Considering the shortage of bus drivers in Europe, as well as in the Netherlands, this is a more efficient solution than other alternatives such as deploying additional buses from the depot. Experiments were conducted on a bus network in Enschede in the Netherlands. The results showed that in several disrupted situations, we can reassign bus trips to overcome overcrowding issues without significant negative impacts on the operation or passengers. However, the approach entails a trade-off between passengers of a canceled trip and an overcrowded trip. Some passengers must wait for the next bus or use other means of transport as a consequence of bus reassignment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552492","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}

Thus, the development of efficient charging infrastructure and the optimization of fleet size emerge as major challenges for transit agencies. Switching from diesel buses to electric buses (Ebuses) will require increasing the fleet size to accommodate the limited range of Ebuses and the significant idle time required for charging. This study develops prediction models to estimate the required Ebus fleet size to maintain same transit route services for the case of overnight depot charging, using data from Ebuses operating in the City of Toronto. The analysis reveals that Ebuses equipped with diesel auxiliary heaters are less sensitive to temperature fluctuations compared to battery-heated buses. Thus, the required replacement factor, indicating the additional fleet needed to switch from diesel to Ebuses, varies depending on the heating system. Specifically, diesel-heated buses require a lower replacement factor (1.3) compared to battery-heated buses (1.4), with winter conditions exacerbating this disparity. Furthermore, the study employs vehicular, operational, route, and external variables to develop the prediction models. Additionally, SHAP analysis is utilized to interpret the machine learning models and evaluate the influence of the inputs on the required fleet size. The results show that the total distance traveled, and the average temperature are the primary factors affecting the fleet size for Ebuses using their batteries for heating, whereas the total distance traveled, and the average bus speed are the primary factors affecting the fleet size for Ebuses with diesel auxiliary heaters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142592791","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}

Typically assessed at singular time points, these variables pose challenges in analyzing individual characteristics based on their fluctuations. Moreover, deriving actionable policy implications from HCMs is challenging due to the inherent nature of psycho-attitudinal variables, which exhibit limited responsiveness to alterations in alternatives. Only a significant disruptive event could induce notable shifts in individuals’ psycho-attitudinal characteristics.

Employing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), the study categorizes and quantifies these barriers, offering insights into the factors that hinder consumer acceptance of BEVs. The results reveal that ’Vehicle attributes’, including concerns about efficiency, range, and reliability, is the most significant barrier for both BEV and ICE users. However, the order and strength of subsequent barriers differ between these groups. For BEV users, ’Public Data’ and ’Lack of Benefits’ follow as major concerns, while ICE users prioritize ’Financial Barriers’ and ’Consumer Concerns’. Notably, BEV users generally perceive these barriers more strongly across all categories. Based on these findings, this study proposes targeted policy recommendations aimed at addressing these barriers for both current and potential BEV users. Enhancing vehicle attributes characteristics, expanding charging infrastructure, implementing educational campaigns, revising fiscal incentives, and rebranding EVs through effective marketing strategies are critical measures suggested. These interventions are designed to align with both BEV and ICE user expectations and catalyze the broader acceptance and adoption of BEVs in Thailand.
