Drawing upon coded interview findings, literature on relationships among traffic congestion, safety, and induced travel demand, qualitative analysis using causal loop diagramming highlights the complex yet fluid interplay between traffic safety and conventional TIA practices through the lens of system archetypes. These practices adhered to two interrelated systems archetypes—generic representations of problem-causing structures that produce established patterns of behavior in a system— discerning potential points to integrate road user safety into TIA practice first as opposed to last in the TIA process.

University campuses and young people constitute a prime example pertaining to the successful implementation of shared transportation services, however young people’s preferences have differences compared to general population. Studies on evaluating barriers associated with ride-sharing found mixed results dependent on empirical settings. Additionally, studies emphasizing understanding psychological barriers receive little attention. This analysis aims to provide answers to the existing knowledge, by not only assessing young people’s attitudes on ride-matching app characteristics, such as live geolocation and information on destination, but also evaluating the level of comfort in sharing information using the ride-matching app. Data based on a stated preference survey that was distributed online to young people in Nicosia, Cyprus soliciting a sample over 1,200 respondents. Modeling techniques used in the paper comprised of statistical econometric models in the form of ordered probit models with random parameters. Results attempted to shed light on linking the importance of certain ride-matching app characteristics to the level of comfort. It is found that even though most female young people are associated with a higher ranking of ride-matching app characteristics, a minority is found to be linked with a higher willingness in sharing information. Lastly, useful insights can be provided to policy makers and service providers leading to a targeted customization of the ride-matching app, education campaigns and actions addressing technological barriers associated with ride-sharing to promote its use.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101437"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898985","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}

An essential prerequisite for offering children and adolescents autonomous rides for unaccompanied transportation in everyday life is that they can operate such an AV without the support of others. We therefore conducted a usability study in which children (supported by their parents) tested the high-fidelity prototype of the family AV “autoELF”. Fifteen parents and seventeen of their 7- to 14-year-old children tested the AV prototype in the laboratory. During an imaginary ride, the children used the safety and entertainment features required to operate the AV during a normal ride. In a post-session interview, the children reported on their experiences as users. Children and parents were asked about their willingness to integrate AV into their family’s mobility. The main findings were that the children were able to transfer their knowledge from their current interaction with cars and technology to the new AV context. Most children were able to use most of the AV’s features without help from their parents and on the first try, when the children were already familiar with the task.

However, a complete shift to online activities can be harmful to individuals and society. In a highly digitalized society where “going out” is optional, understanding people’s preferences for going out could be crucial to encourage them to voluntarily go out and support favorable out-of-home experiences. This study investigates individuals’ perceived values that affect the levels of preference for going out through an original web-based survey conducted in Japan (<em>N</em> = 885). The findings reveal that the perceived burdens of preparation and social interactions have a negative effect, whereas vague but positive expectations for an out-of-home experience and a positive perception of the place of activity and travel have positive impacts. Environmental and personal factors that may lower the perceived burden and raise positive expectations for going out include (1) better accessibility to urban functions; (2) a personal sense of openness, extraversion, and low conscientiousness; and (3) interhuman relationship-building with family and neighborhood members. Surprisingly, travel costs and time did not negatively affect the preference for going out, but these costs remain burdensome to younger people, low-income households, and those who like going out. Our findings support the growing awareness of the need for improving accessibility and better community building.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101432"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143886119","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}

To achieve this, we employ individual mobility models to synthesize location visit sequences and control behavior dynamics by intervening in their data generation process. We evaluate the interventional location sequences using mobility metrics and input them into well-trained networks to analyze performance variations. The results demonstrate the effectiveness in producing location sequences with distinct mobility behaviors, thereby facilitating the simulation of diverse yet realistic spatial and temporal changes. These changes result in performance fluctuations in next location prediction networks, revealing impacts of critical mobility behavior factors, including sequential patterns in location transitions, proclivity for exploring new locations, and preferences in location choices at population and individual levels.
