While cycling shows great potential, it is essential for urban planning to consider attributes influencing the choices that cyclists act upon. Cyclists’ route choices have been studied since the Eighties with knowledge being applied in cycling network planning. Yet, the role of cycling as a sustainable transportation mode has been largely absent from travel demand modelling. This paper researches cyclists’ route choice preferences and evaluates the opportunity of incorporating route choice modelling into travel demand modelling to improve the accuracy of cycling route choice. To this end, a route choice framework is developed in which a stated preference survey for data collection is conducted, a multinomial Logit model is applied to the data to identify the factors that significantly influence cyclists’ route choice behaviour. The generated route choice utility models are further integrated into an existing regional travel demand model to evaluate the performance of cyclists’ route choice modelling in the presence of additional factors. Then, the route choice model outputs are validated against two sets of external data. The results show that bike facilities, traffic volume, and trip length are the key factors influencing cyclists’ route choice preferences, and the generated route choice models can be an applicable improvement in incorporating the influences of cyclists’ preferences into travel demand modelling.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142323665","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}

Throughout the years, in the field of transportation several attempts were made to optimize travelers’ activity chains with different parameters to set, but there is a lack of comprehensive solutions. In this research, the activity chain optimization algorithm is applied, which requires high computational efforts. To provide an adequate calibration of the parameters, a sensitivity analysis is conducted. The aim of the analysis is to reveal how changes in the attribute values modify the final outcomes. The relevant parameters, activity chains, transport modes, optimization algorithms, and fitness functions, are identified and considered. For each parameter, an investigation is conducted to reveal its behavior throughout the runs. For example, changes in the population size and crossover function lead to more reliable results, while alteration in the number of generations and the mutation function have no effects on the outcomes. The analysis presents a peculiar behavior of the parameters related to the activity chains. The results can be useful for transportation planners and service providers in the adaptation of the existing network and transportation services to the travelers’ mobility patterns.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590198224002082/pdfft?md5=bffe7cf83c67d9c628a4e7013d6198c4&pid=1-s2.0-S2590198224002082-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142228625","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 method effectively creates a composite indicator for assessing satisfaction levels by considering factors such as socioeconomic conditions, geographical features, and mobility-related data. The research analyzes how satisfaction varies according to these factors. Results indicate that commuter satisfaction levels vary across different factors, including age, education, occupation, gender, travel distance, travel time, commuting cost, and income. Notably, those with shorter commuting times and lower expenses tend to report higher satisfaction, while unemployed and low-income commuters, as well as those using active modes of transport, often express lower satisfaction levels. Interestingly, bus riders find their trip more satisfactory than car drivers, but train commuters are the least satisfied of all. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into commuter satisfaction, informing the development of policies and strategies to improve the transport infrastructure and services and promote the choice of sustainable modes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590198224002094/pdfft?md5=bc7541dc90036ba0a4e1276497c43464&pid=1-s2.0-S2590198224002094-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142310961","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, there have been ongoing concerns over the potential unjust effects of HSR development on the rural areas where HSR routes traverse. In the United States, resistance from rural landowners is a major factor that has delayed or derailed numerous HSR projects. Understanding whether and how rural areas may or may not benefit from HSR investments helps facilitate timely project delivery and inform supplementary policymaking to achieve broader societal benefits. This paper presents a case study of the Dallas – Houston HSR line in Texas, USA, a proposed project with private investments totaling $16 billion from Texas Central Railroad, LLC. Applying Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) modeling, the study estimates the economic impacts of investing in the Dallas-Houston HSR line and examines the spatial and sectoral distributions of the impacts across the rural counties along the project alignment. The privately funded Dallas – Houston HSR project stalled after a decade-long effort, largely due to opposition from the rural counties along the line. The recent formation of the Amtrak-Texas Central partnership has brought back hope to revive the HSR proposal. The findings of this study are informative for Amtrak-Texas Central to develop strategies that address the unbalanced rural–urban impacts of constructing the HSR line for ultimate project success.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590198224002203/pdfft?md5=6b63152b215f68f3527f0d49be6d7bd9&pid=1-s2.0-S2590198224002203-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142310963","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 restrictions are necessary, being overly restrictive on plans has a negative impact on capacity, safety and efficiency. In this article we propose the combination of no-fly zones and flight grids into <em>design elements</em> for airspace design, to be used only where and when necessary. City planners can use these design elements to make both strategic decisions and real-time updates, and thereby set the rules for an automated system for planning and authorization. We describe the design elements, how to automatically find the optimal end-to-end route between or through these elements, a set of modifications or extension to improve flexibility even more, and demonstrate the efficacy of the approach through example airspace design patterns and by showing the resulting traffic in a drone traffic simulator.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590198224002057/pdfft?md5=2d65260123d66a801de457d2283c4841&pid=1-s2.0-S2590198224002057-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142164438","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}

It highlights an ambiguity within user-centred design in the extant literature, specifically the inadequate exploration of user requirements. The discourse propounds the necessity for a paradigm shift in the research focus—advocating for a more profound inquiry into user needs instead of the prevailing emphasis on the advancement of enabling technologies and the operations of digital platforms. Given the increasing demand for personalisation within intricate transportation systems, comprehending users’ cognitive and psychological preferences emerges as paramount. Such an understanding is imperative to allow the service framework to adapt and identify principal offerings that resonate with user inclinations. Moreover, establishing an enduring dialogue between service providers and users is essential.

As a result, we found that the structure of the delay propagation patterns can be classified into several groups. The identified groups exhibit statistically significant differences in total delay time and average out-degree, with different airports playing central roles in spreading delays. The results also suggest that some delay propagation patterns are particularly prominent during specific times of the year, which could be influenced by Japan’s seasonal and geographical factors.
