Retrospective population-based data were sourced from emergency department, hospital, and compensation data systems for the period January 2012 to December 2017. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, and ratios, were used to describe the incidence of index transport-related injury events by demographic and mode of transport characteristics, while a chi-square test was used to test for variations in the proportion of events among groups over time. There were 164,248 transport-related injury events recorded during the study period, with an annual incidence rate of 577 per 100,000 population. 86.5 % of events existed in health system data, 26.2 % in compensation system data, while 12.7 % existed in both health and compensation system data. The incidence of transport-related injury events was highest among males (679 per 100,000 population), individuals aged 15–24 years old (1,021 per 100,000 population) and in remote areas (758 per 100,000 population). Most of the transport-related injuries who sought hospital-based treatment and/or compensation involved cars (46.6 %), with drivers (40.1 %) being the most frequently injured. Linked health and compensation system data can better reveal the burden of transport-related injuries within a population.

This study presents a sensitivity analysis for the Sustainable Public Transport Index for LATin AMerica (SPTI-LATAM) for 11 Latin American case study cities. Four weighting methods are applied at the levels of sustainability dimensions, categories and indicators, including the Equal Weighting Average (EWA), Analytic Hierarchical Processes (AHP), and Budget Allocation Points (BAP) approaches. Monte Carlo simulations are added to examine the robustness of the SPTI-LATAM city rankings for a large number of randomly drawn weights. Local stakeholder preferences in AHP and BAP, sensitivities in PT sustainability performance and ranking positions of the 11 cities are presented as the main results. The study’s findings reveal substantial differences between the stakeholder preferences and the EWA approach. The highest weights are assigned to the <em>System Effectiveness</em> and the <em>Social</em> dimensions. Ranking positions are stable for cities with the highest sustainability performance, whereas those with lower performance are show greater sensitivity, which is related to a less balanced scoring of single indicators. Recommendations are made for the further development of the SPTI-LATAM into a tool that measures the sustainability performance of PT systems in the Latin American context reliably across cities and over time, while also representing local stakeholders’ preferences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"30 ","pages":"Article 101362"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143508495","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}

Despite their economic importance ports have adverse effects on the environment. Air pollution and emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are of great concern since the maritime industry accounts for 2–3% of global GHG emissions. The shipping industry is projected to grow on average at 2.1% annually for the next four years and is under enormous pressure from stakeholders and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to curb GHG emissions to align with the Paris Agreement. The IMO strategy to cut GHG emissions from international shipping aims for a reduction of 20%, by 2030, and 70% by 2040, with respect to 2008 and achieve 100% reduction by 2050 to achieve net-zero emissions.

Based on the existing literature from the past decade, this study highlights the magnitude of the problem, the challenges the sector is facing in terms of economic, technological and policy implications in achieving net-zero emissions.

In Italy, few works investigated the causes of crash occurrences on secondary road networks, i.e., minor rural, suburban, and urban two-lane roads, connecting the primary road network (freeways and highways) with local roads. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, no studies addressed the issue of spatial unobserved heterogeneity in factors contributing to crash occurrence on secondary roads in Italy. To fill this gap and intending to provide an in-depth analysis of causes of Fatal and Injury (FI) crashes that occur on such networks, this paper proposes the development of SPFs and related CMFs across 905 km of Italian secondary roads. Incorporating geometrical, functional, and road context information, a Negative Binomial Regression with Fixed Parameters (FP-NBR) and Random Parameters (RP-NBR) to account for unobserved heterogeneity have been adopted for fitting 5,792 FI crashes that occurred within 2008–2016. Capturing unobserved heterogeneity affecting some of the factors, outcomes show that the RP-NBR markedly outperforms the FP-NBR in terms of predictive performance. Conversely, the latter shows a higher level of interpretation. Elasticities and CMFs indicate that traffic flow, carriageway width, driveway density, the density of intersections, and road area type are the most influential parameters, whereas longitudinal gradient and road alignment have a weaker effect on FI occurrences. These SPFs and related CMFs can improve planning activity, as well as monitoring and maintenance interventions across secondary road networks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"30 ","pages":"Article 101344"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143471250","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}

We report the results of our use of directed surveys and interviews with Ukrainian industry insiders to seek to identify which areas seem to be most important and appropriate for primary and accelerated policy measures. The results suggest two issues that should be the highest priorities for policymakers at this point: 1) the inadequacy of alternative export modes and locations, unprepared as they were for mammoth volume diversions from the Black Sea ports (including rail capacity and other issues on the EU sides of borders), and 2) the long-standing weaknesses of the rail monopolist Ukrzhaliznytsia, with years of funding neglect resulting in shortage and obsolescence of locomotives and rolling stock as well as a shortage of skilled labor.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36621,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives","volume":"30 ","pages":"Article 101363"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143454626","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}
