Subway systems affect urban development in many aspects such as land use, travel behaviour, and service industries including tourism. Tourism nowadays makes a significant contribution to economic success and yields social benefits for cities and countries. Transport can have a considerable impact on tourists' experiences at destinations. In many cities, tourists comprise a considerable proportion of public transport users, especially during holiday periods, and subways, as a speedy, convenient, accessible, affordable, and comfortable travel choice, are used by many tourists. With an increasing number of cities with subway development (existing and planned), growing numbers of domestic and international tourist trips, and global interests in growing the tourism industry, it is time to investigate the relationship between subways and tourism to identify their contribution to tourism at destinations. This international overview explores tourism facilities and subway stations and networks, tourism-related architecture and design of subway stations, subway-related travel behaviour and perceptions of tourists, and subways and sustainable tourism. It confirms the close spatial relationship between subways and tourism facilities, the subway station's role as a new heritage frontier, the subway as the preferred transport mode of many tourists, and the opportunities and challenges that subways present to sustainable tourism. This overview is significant in that it bridges subway systems and tourism in a comprehensive way. It provides important implications for subway-related transport policies and practices, as well as suggestions for future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142322794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coopetition is a process whereby stakeholders collaborate horizontally with competitors in order to increase opportunities for all. The research in this paper is based on a case study methodology and identifies six coopetition activities which together address two objectives: improving resource utilization and navigating market dynamics. Resource utilization is improved by obtaining economies of scale and allowing short-term planning by rail asset sharing, as well as reducing costs by balancing flows and optimising empty container logistics. The overall market dynamics are improved by increasing awareness through joint marketing and lobbying, increasing volume in the network and system flexibility by optimising train schedules, and increasing capacity and quality of railway infrastructure via joint lobbying for infrastructure investment. Rail operators were found to be the stakeholder group most active in coopetition, while shippers faced internal management barriers to working with competitors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142314192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A subsequent cluster analysis based on these factors suggests four social acceptability groups: ‘avoiders’, ‘resisters’, ‘self-doubters’, and ‘innovators’, though generally there is a high social acceptability towards SAVs. Significant differences between groups based on gender are identified, but not based on age, residential area, education, work, or income.

This study analyzes feedback from 362 early electric vehicle users, examining how the relationship between consumer expectations and actual experiences influences satisfaction through technological trust and “Mianzi” perception. We employ complex assimilation and contrast effect models to interpret the psychological mechanisms underpinning consumer satisfaction with electric vehicles. Our research identifies a significant cognitive chain in both technological trust and “Mianzi” perception, affecting consumer satisfaction. We also differentiate the roles of economic and relational compensation in satisfaction regulation. In technological trust, economic compensation can cause cognitive imbalance, while relational compensation strengthens technological trust by enhancing emotional and competence trust. Regarding “Mianzi” perception, economic compensation may trigger the Veblen effect, hindering early adoption, whereas relational compensation significantly enhances satisfaction by strengthening the emotional bond between users and vehicles. These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms driving consumer satisfaction with electric vehicles and offer strategic insights for manufacturers and policymakers. By refining marketing strategies and policy measures, stakeholders can more effectively promote electric vehicle adoption and advance sustainable transportation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142274221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal that the epidemic facilitated the modal shifts from road to waterway, but these effects are not enduring. Provinces with well-established waterway infrastructure, higher environmental consciousness, and robust policy foundations exhibit a more pronounced enhancement in modal shifts. The impact is further accentuated by lower waterway freight rates. Moreover, the epidemic manifests positive spatial spillover effects.

This study delves into the role of high-speed rail (HSR) in facilitating intercity migration among the elderly in China, a country experiencing a pronounced demographic shift with a burgeoning aging population. By employing a Poisson regression model on unbalanced panel data from 2008 to 2017, this paper assesses the aggregate and heterogeneous effects of HSR on elderly migration, considering various migration purposes and the mediating effects of younger generation migration. The study uncovers that elderly migration is predominantly towards economically vibrant cities, with HSR significantly influencing migration patterns by improving accessibility and connectivity. The analysis reveals that the elderly migration along with their family is more influenced by accessibility improvements, while the elderly migration for work is more responsive to enhanced connectivity provided by HSR. Furthermore, the migration of younger generations moderates the positive impact of HSR on elderly migration, particularly for family and work-related migration, but not for healthcare-related migration. The insights from this study emphasize the importance of policies that encourage inter-generational migration, allowing younger and elderly family members to move together, which can help maintain family unity and reduce the social and economic pressures on cities that receive migrants. Moreover, the study advises cautious development of HSR in less prosperous areas to avoid exacerbating population loss and regional decline.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142274220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
