This paper develops such a framework to guide the systematic transformation of π-ports through a systematic literature review and a bibliometric analysis of research on port transformation, smart ports, and PI logistics. The proposed four-layer π-port framework integrates the Physical Layer, Digital Layer, Business and Financial Transactions Layer, and Governance and Decision Layer into a coherent architecture, and connects infrastructure, information flows, business transactions, value mechanisms, and multi-level decision-making. Rather than treating these dimensions in isolation, as existing port studies tend to do, the framework explicates their interdependencies as a prerequisite for effective π-port functioning. Priority research challenges are identified across interoperability standards, synchromodal coordination, decentralized governance, adaptive real-time decision-making, and national and local port contexts. By integrating physical operations, digital systems, business models, and governance into a single conceptual framework, this study provides an interdisciplinary foundation for researchers, port planners, and policymakers pursuing the transition to hyperconnected, resilient, and sustainable maritime logistics systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 102205"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148853991","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 study examines commercial airline pilots’ perceptions of Just Culture, their willingness to submit voluntary safety reports, perceived barriers to reporting, and the role of Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) in shaping reporting behaviour. A cross-sectional survey of 117 commercial airline pilots was conducted. Non-parametric methods, bootstrapped mediation analysis, principal component analysis, and linear regression were employed. Just Culture perception showed the strongest association with reporting willingness (ρ = 0.549, p < 0.001), with that association operating directly rather than through barrier reduction. Reporting willingness was found to be highly scenario-dependent, ranging from 21% for normalised deviations to 97% for high-severity events, exposing a critical blind spot in voluntary reporting systems. No evidence of association was found between FDM awareness and Just Culture perception, suggesting that FDM-related reporting attitudes may operate through mechanisms distinct from Just Culture perception: pilots most reliant on FDM as a reporting trigger exhibited the lowest intrinsic willingness to report. Demographic characteristics played no significant role, consistent with the view that reporting attitudes are shaped by organisational culture rather than individual attributes. End-of-duty fatigue was the most endorsed barrier. The paper concludes that authentic Just Culture, complemented by FDM as a learning tool, may represent the most effective strategy for improving voluntary safety reporting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 102207"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148853992","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}

Technological distractions have been well studied, but social distractions caused by passenger interaction have not been sufficiently studied despite their impact on driving behaviors and safety. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on the impact of passenger presence and driver-passenger interactions on distraction, driving performance, crash risk, and injury severity, with a particular focus on driver and passenger demographics. Following PRISMA 2009 guidelines, 58 peer-reviewed studies published between 2002 and 2025 were identified from major academic databases and narratively synthesized due to substantial heterogeneity in study designs and outcome measures. Passenger effects depend heavily on context. Young drivers show both high crash risk and risky behavior when accompanied by peer passengers because of social facilitation and active interaction, whereas mature adult passengers are generally protective. Adult and older adult drivers gain supervisory support from the passenger presence, but the risk increase with multiple or child passengers under high caregiving demands. Active driver-passenger interaction, rather than passenger presence alone, emerged as the predominant mechanism associated with distraction and elevated crash risk, although its effects varied across driver-passenger configurations and interaction contexts. The review highlights key methodological limitations such as inconsistent classification of passengers, lack of interaction effect modeling, underrepresentation of social distraction in crash databases, and limited evidence from low- and middle-income contexts. From a policy perspective, current passenger restriction measures, such as graduated driver licensing, remain overly simplistic, highlighting the need for more interaction-aware and context-sensitive approaches.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 102201"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148853987","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}

The empirical strategy is based on comparing weekdays, weekends and holidays, which represent different levels of exposure to the risk associated with driving under the influence of alcohol. The results show that the 2021 legislation produced stronger and more consistent effects, with significantly larger reductions in accidents and deaths compared with the 2008 version. The superior performance of the recent reform is associated with increased penalty severity, expanded conditions for criminal accountability and greater predictability of enforcement. From a theoretical perspective, the findings reflect a combination of rational deterrence and loss aversion, suggesting that raising the expected cost of the infraction modifies both perceived utility and the cognitive salience of risk. The results reinforce that road safety policies are more effective when they combine institutional robustness, continuous enforcement and mechanisms of normative internalization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 102202"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148853989","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}

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to measure prefrontal oxygenated hemoglobin during stress-inducing tasks, alongside PAD mood ratings, the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Results showed that the 500 lx, 4300 K blue–sky environment produced comfort and restorative effects, which were accompanied by increased DLPFC–AFC functional connectivity. Higher illuminance (750 lx) was associated with increased subjective alertness and greater prefrontal activation, alongside reduced perceived restoration. This pattern was associated with greater neurocognitive engagement under higher illuminance conditions, although the underlying neural mechanisms require further investigation. In contrast, the 300 lx, 2700 K green-toned condition was associated with lower restorative ratings, indicating context-dependent differences in affective responses across lighting configurations.
