However, stakeholder participation in transport infrastructure technology projects is often hindered by concerns over high costs, extended timelines, and uncertainty in outcomes. Therefore, this empirical research is carried out to study the impacts of technology-related factors on stakeholders’ participation in technology projects, which helps to mitigate the stakeholders’ concerns and encourages participation in such projects. Drawing on national innovation system theory and the demand-pull and technology-push framework, the research investigates the impact of three key enablers—technology capability, innovation input, and government incentives—on the level of stakeholder participation in transport infrastructure technology development. The results show that national technology capability has a direct positive relationship on stakeholder participation and mediates the indirect effects of innovation input and government incentives. High government support and sustained innovation efforts translate into stronger technological capability, which leads to a higher level of participation, implying the technology-related factors’ ability to mitigate risk and improve feasibility to stakeholders. High relations are also found between government incentives and innovation input. The research has significance in exploring transport infrastructure development from a novel technology-related perspective, which could provide policy implications for policymakers and decision support for investors when participating in projects to progress the transport infrastructure technology level.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 101598"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145049406","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}

From a traffic engineering perspective, this study first aims to answer the question “how much modal shift it requires to counterbalance the impact of road space reallocation on network traffic flow” by conducting a microscopic traffic simulation case study.

Through analyzing the changes in origin–destination travel times and network fundamental diagrams, it is first found that congestion level increases significantly in the EBC network with minimal modal shift due to the reduced queue storage space on the roads for cars. In comparison to the situation in the status-quo network, a policy goal of an over fifty percent modal shift is required to mitigate the negative impact on traffic performance. However, congestion can be completely prevented in the large modal shift scenario by better utilizing the capacity of the bike lane network. The findings showcase a possible transition pathway toward a sustainable urban road environment and its outcomes for policymakers.

Our analysis of open-ended survey responses from current e-bicyclists revealed distinct linguistic and thematic patterns: positive experiences centered around terms like “e-bike” “ride,” and “save” corresponding to thematic categories of car substitution (24%), increased riding (21%), and commuting (21%), while negative experiences concentrated around “driver” and “battery,” reflecting driver hostility (36%) and bike performance issues (28%). The BTM uncovered how these elements interact within cohesive experiential themes, where enhanced mobility, health benefits, and sustainable transportation options reinforce positive experiences, while technical limitations interact with infrastructure deficiencies and social barriers to create compound adoption challenges.

To encourage e-bike adoption, many organizations and governments provide incentive programs, such as rebates, to defray purchase costs. Despite the rise of these rebate programs, their impact on purchase decisions and travel behaviors remains largely unevaluated. This paper examines an e-bike rebate program administered in Eugene, Oregon, where the public utility began offering $300 e-bike rebates in April 2022. Specifically, we collected online survey responses from 324 rebate recipients and employed descriptive and mixed ordinal logistic regression analyses to investigate participants’ characteristics, the rebate’s role in the purchase process, and e-bike use. Most participants use e-bikes to replace car trips, signifying the potential of e-bikes to reduce auto dependence and advance mode shift and climate goals. The study also identifies how age, e-bike cost, and car ownership shaped participants’ perceptions of the rebate’s impact on purchase behaviors. People who are young, male, earn low incomes, previously owned non-electric bicycles, and hold graduate degrees ride their e-bikes more frequently than other rebate recipients. Yet results also show that e-bike rebate recipients are disproportionately male, White, higher-income, and hold graduate degrees, suggesting that the rebate’s benefits are not evenly distributed across demographic groups. These findings inform specific and actionable policy recommendations to address the identified equity gaps, such as implementing tiered, income-based, and point-of-sale rebates. Such changes can foster a more equitable integration of e-bikes into the sustainable urban mobility system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 101594"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144912259","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}

This study employs propensity score matching to account for diverse characteristics of target municipalities, and combines this with a difference-in-differences framework to quantify the effects of HSR development. The results reveal clear regional heterogeneity: in less urbanized areas with higher shares of primary and secondary industries, HSR development is associated with declines in the secondary sector and growth in the tertiary sector. In contrast, in more urbanized regions, competition or substitution effects in the tertiary sector may limit such gains.

However, high construction costs and legal restrictions have impeded traditional road infrastructure expansion and improvement projects. As a result, transportation authorities, particularly in developing countries, face the significant challenge of finding cost-effective traffic management solutions to mitigate traffic congestion and emissions. Signal control is considered a crucial method for optimizing traffic flow. This study examines the effects of diverse signal control strategies on signalized intersections from a microscopic perspective, focusing on optimal fixed signal timing and available road traffic resources. To effectively assess the intersection operation state under different signal control strategies, this study introduces the concept of information entropy from physics. The proposed evaluation system can be directly applied to existing road infrastructure. This system provides a clearer understanding of the most effective signal control strategy for signalized intersections in a mixed-traffic environment, while also maintaining the current road traffic resources. This study introduces a novel signal control evaluation system based on information entropy theory, providing transportation management with a scientific decision-making tool. This approach significantly optimizes signal timing plans within mixed traffic environments under existing road resource constraints. Consequently, it effectively alleviates congestion, reduces accidents and emissions, and ultimately maximizes traffic resource utilization, thereby promoting sustainable development of the transportation system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46989,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies on Transport Policy","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 101590"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145004660","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}
