This analysis revealed that frequent short journeys by delivery motorcycles significantly contribute to urban traffic congestion and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, highlighting the environmental and traffic pressures resulting from the rise of food delivery services. Results from the customer survey revealed a profound dependence on these services, indicating that their availability prompts a significant number of additional trips, thereby exacerbating these impacts.

Road traffic accidents claim the lives of many pedestrians every year. Any roadway and traffic management design must consider the speed at which pedestrians cross or walk. To improve current operating policies and to provide logical safety assessments, it is essential to comprehend the characteristics of pedestrian speed. While crossing several vehicular lanes, pedestrians must look for vehicle gaps in each route according to the direction of traffic. However, existing studies often overlook the diversity in pedestrian behaviors. This paper seeks to summarize the pedestrian crossing speeds, delays, and gap acceptance behavior in Asian nations based on several investigations. Several notable pieces of information were also formulated through tabulation. By averaging the pedestrian speed of some Asian countries, it was found that pedestrians move at 1.23 m/s, and Indonesian pedestrians move slower than other countries’ pedestrians. Gap acceptance behavior depends on age, gender, group/individual, education status, day/night, vehicle type, traffic flow, waiting location etc. Such factors are also the influencing factors for pedestrian speed too. The study’s conclusions will help mitigate traffic safety issues by creating an effective intersection control system. Practitioners and policymakers can use the study results to develop effective management strategies to lessen collisions between pedestrians and vehicles in uncontrolled locations in urban areas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 101199"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590198224001854/pdfft?md5=2d5185b96cf101a1a8c2873d8bd6e230&pid=1-s2.0-S2590198224001854-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142012652","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}

QC works by taking advantage of the properties of quantum physics, such as superposition and entanglement. To fully realize the potential of this technology, more research is necessary, as the field of QML is still in its early stages. Since QC technologies and devices continue to develop quickly, it is important to identify the use cases and applications that benefit the most. This paper investigates the potentials of QC, and more specifically, Quantum Annealing (QA), for clustering real-world data in transportation systems. The Bike Sharing System (BSS) is used as a case study applying a clustering model on QA computers. The main contribution of this research is to introduce a hybrid model to cluster stations in a BSS by solving it as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) problem with different methods on a QA computer using a real-time dataset. In addition to the practical contribution, this research also offers theoretical advancements in the field of computational optimization by defining a new topology for the input data that is compatible with QC topology (e.g., Chimera topology). The goal of real-time clustering BSS stations based on dynamic and static datasets is, in fact, to assist decision-makers in better managing and minimizing the risk of bike unavailability at each station and rebalancing bikes shared. Three different methods have been used to determine the number of clusters, and Euclidean, Manhattan, Pearson, and Spearman dissimilarity functions have been applied to cluster the stations. The evaluation is done using the magnitude vs. cardinality approach. The distribution of the stations, magnitude, and cardinality of the results indicate the potential to use QC for clustering for a real-world application, e.g., BSS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 101201"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590198224001878/pdfft?md5=754a4237ea3a9f100bffc36378cf3751&pid=1-s2.0-S2590198224001878-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141993031","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 is difficult for drivers to estimate the radius of a curve. Therefore, drivers are believed to use other cues to decelerate when approaching a curve. Based on previous successful experiences of driven speeds in curves, drivers are thought to have built expectations of safe speeds given certain cues, minimalising risks. This research employs a Bayesian Belief Network to model driver expectations using measured speeds in 153 curves and data on the characteristics of the curve approaches. This model mimics expectations as the probability of measured speeds given certain cues. Using Bayes theorem, prior beliefs on safe speeds are updated towards a posterior belief when a new cue is observed during curve approach. We refer to this posterior belief as expected safe speed. Drivers are assumed to adjust their operating speed if it does not match their expected safe speed. The model shows that the visible deflection angle has a large influence in setting the expectations of a safe speed for an upcoming curve. In addition, the preceding type of roadway and the number of lanes are both important cues to set a driver’s expectations of a safe speed. Speed and warning signs are shown to be interdependent on the road scene and hence have less influence in setting expectations. This research shows that design and safety assessment of freeway curves should be considered aligned with the road scene upstream of the curve.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 101178"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590198224001647/pdfft?md5=52a52b900e82609cb4edea100d128994&pid=1-s2.0-S2590198224001647-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141985688","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}

Although previous work has investigated extensively what factors affect the minimum time needed for a successful take-over by the driver, less is known about how specific stages within the take-over process are affected by those factors. PREDICTOR applies a theoretical framework that describes the take-over process as interruption handling through a series of stages. It then ties this theory to a database that summarizes results from previous take-over studies. PREDICTOR can be used to interactively predict through simulation how specific human factors (e.g., alert modality, alert onset time) impact four distinct stages of the take-over response process. The tool simulates and visualizes expected reaction time distributions for each stage of the take-over process. The use of distributions also highlights the likelihood of an accident – as long responses (“outliers”) are quantifiable. Moreover, it can help understand at which stage drivers might take relatively longer or shorter, and which stages are most impacted by a specific factor (e.g., alert modality). PREDICTOR also allows users to add their own data, and to define their own dependent variables for analysis.
