This study examined data from road safety anti-speeding communication message testing research in seven cities in low- and middle-income countries: Accra, Ghana; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Bandung, Indonesia; Bangkok, Thailand; Bogotá, Colombia; Fortaleza, Brazil; and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The objective of this study was to identify which executional style of anti-speeding message would be perceived by drivers as most effective in influencing them to not exceed speed limits when driving. In each city study, motor vehicle drivers aged 18–44 years rated up to 10 anti-speeding television advertisements on attributes such as comprehension, believability, personal relevance and perceived personal influence and effectiveness. The advertisements tested in each city were coded into four execution categories, according to whether they primarily: (1) focused on the negative <em>consequences</em> of speeding; (2) portrayed personal <em>testimonial</em> stories about harms from speeding; (3) provided science-based information about the mechanics of speeding, braking time and heightened risk of crash-related harm, accompanied by <em>instruction</em> to reduce speeding; or (4) took an <em>enforcement</em> approach regarding risk of detection and punishment for speeding. The results showed that <em>instructional</em> advertisements were rated most highly on communication effectiveness indicators across cities, followed by <em>consequences</em> and <em>testimonial</em> advertisements, with the lowest ratings generally given to <em>enforcement</em> advertisements. Rating scores varied significantly among cities, pointing to the importance of testing road safety messages in the local sociocultural context of the proposed campaign.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101453"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143929489","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}

While traditional AI tools offer operational support, they often overlook the cognitive and emotional conditions under which critical decisions are made by drivers, dispatchers, and mobility coordinators. This gap limits their effectiveness in high-stress, rapidly changing environments where human decision-makers play a critical role.</div><div>To address this, the present study introduces a neuroadaptive framework for transportation agility that integrates real-time behavioral insights into intelligent decision-support systems. This framework, inspired by the foundational principles of supply chain agility (SCA), consists of three interconnected stages: sensing operator stress and cognitive load, predicting decision tendencies, and reconfiguring mobility strategies in real time. Crucially, the framework incorporates a reinforcement learning element, forming a continuous feedback loop that refines AI responses based on user behaviour and system performance. This adaptive mechanism ensures that transport platforms evolve toward more human-aligned, context-aware decision-making, enhancing both agility and resilience over time.</div><div>By advancing this novel, human-centric model, the study extends the agility discourse into the transportation domain, emphasizing the critical link between cognitive awareness, real-time adaptation, and long-term system learning. This approach offers a scalable foundation for adaptive, context-aware, and resilient mobility networks, aligning closely with the demands of future smart cities and intelligent transport systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101468"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144069544","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}

The respondents had to fill out the same information in a web diary, which is used to evaluate the algorithm-based output. Different app algorithms were used, and the impact of respondent interaction with the app on data quality was analyzed. The results show that the algorithm-based results and the web response are comparable when classifying periods of movement and stationary. Regarding the information on the mode of transport used, the match between the web response and the manual-added information in the app is poorer. Moreover, results show that respondent interaction is essential in improving smart survey data quality.

This study examined potentially distinct characteristics of motor vehicle crash (MVC) risks among US OGE workers. Seventy-four OGE workers who regularly drive as part of their jobs completed a comprehensive survey, answering questions about driving history, self-rated driving safety and experience, frequency of prior warnings, traffic tickets, near-crashes, and crashes, and attentional and cognitive failures. They also self-reported details of their non-fatal crash events in the past five years, including driver-related, traffic, and environmental conditions and contributing factors. The OGE workers’ non-fatal MVCs frequently occurred 1) in relatively developed areas and on urban and commercial roads, 2) while performing challenging driving tasks such as merging or making left turns, and 3) in situations involving an inability to predict future conflicts, gap judgment errors, and a lack of understanding of traffic rules. OGE drivers at higher risk had shorter licensed years, drove at night frequently, had attentional declines, and drove longer distances. Verbal warnings and traffic citations were ineffective in reducing OGE drivers’ traffic violations and risky driving behaviors. Despite the small sample size, the current comprehensive survey helped uncover the distinct characteristics of U.S. OGE workers’ MVCs, including specific driver performance errors and traffic conditions, which are not monitored by existing surveillance systems. The findings suggest that developing industry-specific interventions and training may be warranted to address OGE workers’ elevated MVC risks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101460"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143947981","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 increase cycling, we must better understand this group and the reasons they do not ride. I propose a new theory that suggests everyone has a list of “must-haves” that must be in place before they will bike. While there are many possible cycling needs, I introduce five in this paper: Safety, Comfort, Relative Convenience, Availability of Tools, and Social Approval. These needs are uncorrelated (needs in one domain are independent of needs in another) and not uniformly distributed (some people have high needs, while others have low). I argue that potential cyclists periodically compare their needs to prevailing conditions. In some areas, prevailing conditions meet the needs of many people (e.g., Copenhagen or Amsterdam). Elsewhere, conditions meet the needs of very few. The theory gets its name from the idea that <em>any</em> unmet need is a deal breaker. The theory usefully explains commonplace patterns of biking behaviors and visualizes how pro-cycling interventions improve prevailing conditions. The theory also overcomes a number of methodological problems plaguing current bike behavior research. Scholars should work to document the distribution of cycling needs and explore how needs and views of prevailing conditions change over time. Finally, scholars should work to quantify how many people will have their needs met from different pro-cycling interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101462"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143947982","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}
