Employing a dual approach of academic literature review and 16 qualitative interviews with public sector planners, we identify and compare different dimensions of key factors affecting location choice. The results reveal significant contrasts, for instance, between the emphasis placed by academic researchers on ensemble optimization of quantifiable factors and the more target-complex, intuitive approaches pursued by public planning practitioners.

We intentionally seek out the complexity of mundane family life to ground Bauman’s concept of liquidity by demonstrating its embodiment through families working from home. We use in-depth interviews with 30 parents in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, to examine the way the experience of working from home are filtered through the lens of caring for children and onto ways of being mobile day-to-day. We propose that working from home intensifies the complexity of the spatialities, temporalities and emotional landscapes of the parenting task. This intensification is absorbed by families as flexibility, which appeals to parents. This is likely to perpetuate reliance on autonomous modes of mobility for families, namely, the private car, who use cars to order complexity and enact flexibility.

We employ a hybrid assignment model that enables the concurrent allocation of SO and UE assignments, along with the Gravity model to compute accessibility. The Sioux Falls network, previously leveraged in prior research, was chosen for numerical simulations to permit insightful comparisons. Our study scrutinizes three scenarios: the first scenario examines the repercussions of route guidance systems on human-driven vehicles, while the second and third assess their effects on CAVs. The difference between the second and third scenario is in the way of increasing the capacity in the assignment. Our findings reveal that at lower penetration rates of route guidance systems, accessibility initially dips, and then ascends. When all human-driven users adopt route guidance systems, accessibility increases by 12.75% compared to the initial state (without any intervention). Remarkably, should all users employ autonomous vehicles, accessibility would surge by 220% compared to the initial state (without any intervention).

Calculations considered yearly driver and occupant fatality rates per 100,000 population for each race and ethnicity from 2010 through 2021. A Poisson regression model was used to quantify the relationship between the MVTF rates and the factors of interest.
