Most commuters in Temuco, a medium-size city in southern Chile, work in the city center, which has led to congestion on most of the roadways that connect to the city’s center during rush hour. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between Temuco commuters’ various modes of transportation and the relevant personal, social, and built environment factors. The objective was examined using 644 respondents from six neighborhoods and the data was analyzed using multinomial logistic regression for both actual and preferred mode choice of the commuters. There is a trend in this city toward greater usage of bicycles and a decreased use of public transportation. In addition, the findings show that several features such as such as age, ethnic background, bicycle ownership, walking attitude, and attitude toward a private car, are associated with the commuters’ actual and preferred mode choice in this city. The desired usage of walking is likewise favorably correlated with role models, and actual and preferred walking was also found to be correlated with two recognized lifestyle factors. When it comes to perceived built environment features that promote public transportation and active travel, accessibility is by far the most significant. These data could be used by the city’s urban and transportation officials to promote more environmentally friendly modes of transportation, such as public transportation and active travel, as alternatives to private vehicles for commuters’ everyday trips.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101412"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143856111","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}

This study matches socioeconomic information from American Community Survey (ACS) to the global carbon emissions dataset for selected Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the US. We analyze the impact of WFH on transportation emissions before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing cross-sectional multiple regression models and Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition, we examine how WFH, commuting mode, and car ownership influence transportation emissions across 141 MSAs in the United States. We find that the prevalence of WFH in 2021 is associated with lower transportation emissions, whereas WFH in 2019 did not significantly impact transportation emissions. After controlling for public transportation usage and car ownership, we find that a 1% increase in WFH corresponds to a 0.17 kg or 1.8% reduction of daily average transportation emissions per capita. The Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition shows that WFH is the main driver in reducing transportation emissions per capita during the pandemic. Our results show that the reductive influence of public transportation on transportation emissions has declined, while the impact of car ownership on increasing transportation emissions has risen. This study underscores the need for a nuanced, data-driven approach in crafting WFH policies to mitigate transportation emissions effectively. This study contributes to the policy debate by advocating for WFH as a strategy to reduce transportation emissions. Concurrently, policymakers can mitigate its unintended consequences by promoting public transportation and encouraging the adoption of environmentally friendly commute modes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101422"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143855994","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}

Exploring the influencing factors of the intention behaviour gap in electric vehicles adoption","authors":"Wanying Wang ,&nbsp;Moataz Mohamed","doi":"10.1016/j.trip.2025.101424","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.trip.2025.101424","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>This study explores the intention-behavior gap in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, focusing on the often overlooked discrepancy between users’ stated intentions and their actual purchasing behavior. We began by developing a theoretical framework and formulating research hypotheses based on a comprehensive EV adoption literature review and theory of planned behavior. Subsequently, data from a simulated vehicle purchase game involving 2647 participants in Canada were utilized to test these hypotheses by a structural equation model method. Then, potential EV users were categorized according to different intention-simulated behavior relationships through the K-means clustering method to further explore the characteristics of user groups with and without intention-simulated behavior gap. The findings indicate that while purchase intentions have a positive influence on simulated behavior, their predictive power is limited, explaining only 10.89 % of the variance in simulated behavior. Key factors such as gender, house type, and homeownership significantly moderate this relationship (p &lt; 0.001). Four segments emerged from the analysis, with two—“green image with no action” users and “low intention” EV buyers—emerging as primary contributors to the intention-behavior gap. In the gap group (n = 1329), the relationship between intention and simulated behavior was negative (−0.526 standardized regression weight, p &lt; 0.001). While concerns about emissions motivated EV adoption intentions (p &lt; 0.001), actual purchasing behavior was more strongly influenced by budget (p = 0.033), body style preference (p = 0.001), and the availability of home charging facilities (p &lt; 0.001). The most important contributions of this study are the measurement and evaluation of the EV purchase intention-behavior gap. The findings demonstrate that, while the assumptions in the theory of planned behavior about the interaction between individual psychological factors are sound, more elements must be incorporated to improve the predictive power of intentions on behaviour. Future studies might explore additional aspects across a wider range of regional contexts and consumer segments, as well as longitudinal behavior patterns, to gain a better understanding of the changing dynamics of EV adoption. This study adds to the continuing discussion about effective EV adoption techniques, with practical implications for policymakers and marketers seeking to close the intention-behavior gap.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101424"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143859261","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}

This study addresses the urgent need to understand the driving forces behind these emissions from 2001 to 2021, employing the Kaya identity and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method to decompose the changes into GDP growth, energy intensity, carbon intensity, and population effects. The analysis reveals that GDP growth, particularly in Poland and Slovakia, has been the dominant factor driving the increase in CO₂ emissions. However, the study also identifies successful reductions in energy and carbon intensity in Austria and Hungary, partially offsetting the emissions growth linked to their economic expansion. Despite these advancements, the slow transition to cleaner energy in Poland and Slovakia highlights the need for more aggressive policies. The minimal impact of population changes on emissions further underscores the importance of focusing on energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption. The findings suggest that to achieve substantial CO₂ reductions, Central European countries must implement targeted strategies tailored to their specific conditions. Future research should explore next-generation battery technologies, hydrogen fuel cells for heavy-duty transport, and integrating renewable energy in transportation systems. The implications of this work point to the necessity of a concerted effort in policy innovation and technological development to ensure a sustainable transportation future in Central Europe.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101428"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852061","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}

Therefore, our study aimed to understand the institutional challenges and opportunities that stand in the way of TOD coupled with BRT in Lahore, Pakistan. To this end, we used a qualitative analysis of semistructured interviews in NVivo 14 with nine professionals from land-use and transportation institutions. Our study considered five influential factors to understand the institutional challenges and opportunities in promoting BRT-based TOD: the regulatory framework, institutional responsibilities, institutional coordination, local expertise, and incentives. Results show that the foremost challenges are the absence of a regulatory framework, functional overlap, lack of institutional coordination, low government priority and political will, limited expertise and leadership, and absence of incentives. We conclude that multiple institutions contribute to land-use and transportation planning; however, their relationship and influence on TOD are weak. Our study suggests that a clear regulatory framework, TOD plans, TOD-specific zoning, enhanced institutional coordination, local expertise, strong political will, professional capacity, visionary leadership, effective public–private partnership, and targeted incentives are essential to promote TOD through BRT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101431"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143856110","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 study analyzed choices among EAT, private vehicle (PV), public transport (PT), and transportation network companies (TNC), collecting data in 2024 from 1028 US adults traveling 75–200 miles one-way to/from airports. In-vehicle travel time, travel cost, and access time for all modes showed significant negative associations with mode choice, with access time being particularly critical for EAT. A decrease in service frequency of EAT significantly reduced its selection odds, and autonomy in travel modes was found to present a disutility, with the most substantial negative impact on EAT. Perceived ease of use was highest for EAT, while perceived trust was highest for PT. Travelers were more inclined to choose EAT when it is perceived as dependable and reliable. Including luggage costs in the total travel cost for EAT significantly increased preferences compared to scenarios with extra fees. Based on our findings, the highest value of travel time savings (VTTS) was for EAT at $46.09/hr, followed by PV at $38.63/hr, PT at $37.81/hr, and TNCs at $30.40/hr.

Considering the technological evolution toward autonomous and cooperative driving and the obligations imposed by current regulations for the design and approval of new vehicles, the results of this study raise strong doubts as to whether the context analyzed, which is probably more representative of the deep south of Europe than of Italy as a whole, is really capable of managing this important development process without trauma.

However, there are other ways in which pedestrians might react to the presence of AVs. In the worst case, they avoid participating in urban traffic or obstruct AVs. To address this issue, this study surveyed N = 1,995 residents of Munich, Germany, to assess their perceptions of the potential integration of AVs and their expected behavior in urban traffic. The survey was structured around four dimensions: direct interactions with AVs (Pedestrian-AV Interaction), perceptions of the general future behavior of AVs towards pedestrians (Traffic Climate), the broader impact on urban traffic (Societal Factors) and Demographic and Individual Factors. Acceptance was measured by general attitudes toward AVs in urban traffic and their intention to cross, avoid and sabotage AVs. The results showed that attitudes and behavioral intentions could be accurately predicted across these four dimensions, except for sabotage intentions. Expectations regarding direct interactions with AVs emerged as the most important aspect, although perceptions of the general future behavior of AVs and broader impacts on urban traffic also influenced behavioral intentions and attitudes.
