This study addresses the gaps in understanding how various transportation modes, including public transit, private vehicles, and taxis, influence healthcare accessibility for children with asthma. Using data from 18,393 hospital visits in Calgary, Canada (2010–2021), we evaluate spatiotemporal accessibility across three travel modes, considering emergency and non-emergency healthcare visit scenarios with varying travel cost thresholds through a two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method. Horizontal equity is quantified using the Gini coefficient, while vertical equity incorporates socioeconomic factors and asthma prevalence. Our findings reveal that personal vehicles provide the highest and most reliable accessibility, especially during emergencies, whereas public transit frequently fails to meet emergency accessibility demands, particularly at night. Taxis tend to be unaffordable for low-income users but offer comparable accessibility for higher-income travelers in non-emergency contexts. The vertical equity analysis identifies areas characterized by high socioeconomic vulnerability, elevated asthma prevalence, and limited access to healthcare, highlighting zones that warrant targeted interventions to enhance equity in healthcare accessibility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 101616"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918879","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}

We compare existing independent regeneration methods with the proposed adaptive generation and demonstrate that our approach creates a synthetic population of the same level of accuracy, but more efficiently. Also, we show that when the initial data is scarce or biased, the adaptive generator is particularly effective in enhancing dataset quality by adaptively enriching the population sample. To account for updates, we introduce a new Gibbs-resampling technique as an intermediate step that uses information from the most recent disaggregated real data to correct the errors and improve the representativeness and heterogeneity of the synthetic data. Furthermore, our results indicate that the adaptive approach is robust to unforeseen events, which helps mitigate the lack of representativeness in real data during such occurrences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 101597"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918878","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}

Several advanced and efficient emergency operations centers (EOC) exploit the potential of a helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) to supplement the ground fleet for life-threatening or urgent and emergency situations. Although daytime HEMS missions operating under visual flight rules (VFR) in the visual meteorological conditions (VMC) along the shortest flight path and landing as close as possible to the scene are a well-established practice, one of the priorities is the rational use of the helicopter in marginal weather conditions, at night, or whenever natural or artificial obstructions represent potential flight hazards. This involves exploiting the potential of HEMS <em>rendez-vous</em> missions. In this perspective, the authors proposed two mathematical models to optimize the location of certified helipads, having a transfer point function, by maximizing the coverage (<span>MaxCoverage</span>) of a geographic area and minimizing the total delay (<span>MinSumD</span>) of the interventions considering the reasonable total pre-hospital time thresholds of 45 and 60 min. The models were applied to an Italian real-world case study using an anonymized emergency medical database: electronic pre-hospital care records (4,155 events), attributable to road traffic accidents that took place in the province of Parma (Emilia Romagna, Italy) in 7 years, were considered as input data. The simulations, defining the optimal number and location of helipads for <em>rendez-vous</em> missions, offer analytical supports to operators and public agencies for providing on the one hand a broad spectrum of intervention strategies and facilitate the decision-making, and giving on the other hand planning and design tools for the HEMS implementation and strengthening.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"33 ","pages":"Article 101566"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144904124","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 network clustering results reveal that mobility tended to cluster into small communities, particularly on weekends and holidays, with the number of main communities ranging from 10 to 15, compared to only 2 to 6 on weekdays. The number of communities was also higher on heavy snow days compared to normal days, and the largest community experienced a nearly 50% reduction in size during these events. Despite these changes, the city center remained integral to the network, with most communities exhibiting high centrality and connections to commercial areas, transportation hubs, and mixed land-use zones. Additionally, the first heavy snowfall event had a more pronounced impact on mobility than the second. The community patterns also suggest that Sapporo follows a monocentric urban form.
