The MMEA is responsible for enforcing maritime legislation and organizing Search and Rescue (SAR) operations in the Malaysia Maritime Zone. The originality of this study lies in its application of a perceptive measurement-individual attribute technique to identify key safety measures and dimensions for passenger ferry services. The study examines six safety measures elements: safety and rescue equipment, ship structure, shipping documentation, navigation and communication equipment, safety instruction for passenger, and ability of ferry employees to respond to emergencies. Data collection was conducted using simple random sampling techniques, with responses from 130 MMEA personnel. Descriptive analysis was then performed to determine the perceived importance of 25 safety measure items. The findings indicate that firefighting facilities, with a mean score of 4.91, were considered the most important safety item, while medical equipment, with a mean score of 4.16, was ranked the least important. These results provide ferry operators with a deeper understanding of critical safety features, enabling them to prioritize safety, reduce incidents, and protect the marine environment. This study contributes to underrepresented research on passenger ferry safety and has the potential to improve safety management in other modes of transportation. The safety evaluation criteria and dimensions can serve as safety performance indicators, improving both safety assessment and safety management practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 101453"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143834386","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}

A methodology was presented for simplifying the categorization of routes for each decision maker and the integration of individual outcomes into a collective outcome. Considering the viewpoint of each decision maker, it was suggested that the city’s roads be categorized based on the level of risk they present for the occurrence of traffic crashes using the PROMSORT multicriteria approach. The ultimate categorization was established by considering five distinct categories that indicate different degrees of route importance. The results were geographically represented using a Geographic Information System. Employing the framework may accurately identify the city’s most susceptible regions and allocate resources and risk reduction initiatives with greater efficiency.

However, relatively little is known about whether these new microtransit services effectively serve their intended user groups. We studied FlexRide Milwaukee, an on-demand, microtransit service created to connect low-income workers and job seekers from predominantly Black neighborhoods on the northwest side of the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin with predominately white, employment-rich suburbs. This employment-focused service helped FlexRide users reach jobs located in suburbs with limited transit service. Analyzing trip data from the FlexRide pilot study period (April 18 to September 30, 2022), we profiled 713 applicants who showed initial interest in trying the service. Ultimately, 428 of these applicants signed up as participants to use the service and 128 of them actually used FlexRide Milwaukee (80 frequent and 48 occasional riders). Descriptive analyses and logistic regression models showed that participants used FlexRide more often if they were already employed, Black, or did not have access to a household vehicle. However, compared with their high levels of initial interest, people with low incomes and women underused FlexRide Milwaukee. People who were unemployed, used cash, or worked third shift also underused the service. More research is needed to understand the latent demand for this type of microtransit service among these groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 101452"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143839338","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 assessment draws on quantitative data, qualitative data, and observational studies to evaluate alignment with global benchmarks and identify challenges in balancing competing objectives. Results indicate that Amsterdam excels with perfect scores in safety, convenience, and cost-effectiveness. Sustainability (9.48) and accessibility (9.97) scores are below perfect due to unmet targets for low-energy vehicle adoption and public transport coverage. Efficiency remains a challenge, with a score of 6.72 due to congestion and long travel times. A notable trade-off exists between efficiency and safety, as Amsterdam’s 30 km/h speed limit on most roads enhances safety but slows travel speeds—reflecting the city’s commitment to safety and liveability over speed. Measures—such as smart traffic management, investments in active mobility, public transport improvement, and exempting public transport from the speed limit—could help to balance the dual goals of safety and efficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 101443"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143839339","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}

To remove such overlapping trips, our approach presents mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) models and innovative solution algorithms for efficient rescheduling and redeployment. To prove the efficacy of the developed model, we use data from Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), India’s largest urban bus fleet operator, and optimize the schedule with no additional capital expenditure and minimal changes to the existing schedule. The work is carried out in close consultation with BMTC and led to the development of a computer-based decision support bus-schedule optimization toolkit (B-SOT). The B-SOT automates the schedule development process using simple CSV files as input and output, making it easy to use for officials at all levels. The toolkit is sufficiently comprehensive to be applied to other cities with contextual adjustments. Overall, the decision support models and the computer-based toolkit developed are novel, modular, and quite useful for PT decision-making to optimize bus schedules while freeing up some buses for deployment elsewhere.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 101448"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143825629","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 then calculated the pivotal incentive amount that encourages an individual to switch from solo driving to carpooling and estimated the total incentive budget required to boost carpooling participation in an area to a certain desired level. Our analysis revealed that high spending on incentives does not necessarily result in proportional increases in carpooling participation. For instance, for our study area, the effective monthly incentive amount was capped at approximately $300. We also found that there are individuals who will not carpool at all, regardless of the incentive amount offered. Additionally, by clustering respondents based on their sociodemographic and commuting characteristics, we investigated how different groups of population respond to incentives. The results showed that younger adults, solo workers in a household, and those who commute longer and more frequently required the highest incentive amounts to switch to carpooling, whereas seniors and those with less frequent or shorter commutes could be swayed with incentive amounts about half as much. Such findings highlighted the importance of targeted strategies with detailed behavioral analysis when determining and allocating incentive funds.
