The operational intricacies of HDTs, including load statuses, origin-destination (OD) trip characteristics, and the frequency of HDTs start-stop pairs, were analyzed. We used OBD data from 3792 HDTs in China over whole year of 2022 and employed novel big data mining methods for dwell detection, load identification, and OD trip information calculation. The findings reveal that for cargo trucks, dump trucks, and tractor trucks at the OD trip level, their respective empty-loaded driving rates stand at 33.01 %, 33.58 %, and 31.71 %. The average OD travel distances for these vehicle categories are 110 km, 95 km, and 195 km, while the average travel velocities are 23 km/h, 16 km/h, and 40 km/h, respectively.

This study presents a comprehensive framework tailored to efficiently classify and mine public opinion on URT services from social media platforms. Leveraging data from ten Chinese cities with extensive URT networks, a domain-specific lexicon is semi-automatically constructed by integrating official documents (standards, policies, and annual reports) and high-frequency online terms. Additionally, a text classification algorithm based on this lexicon is proposed. Subsequently, sentiment, semantic, and timeline analyses are conducted on the classified texts to extract public opinion. Importantly, many manual steps employed in this study can be avoided when extended to other application scenarios. Therefore, this study contributes to the advancement of SMD processing efficiency in the URT domain and holds promise for broader applications in the fields of transportation management and policy-making.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142151979","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}

This reality underscores the importance of evaluating and adapting modal share as a key objective in the planning of transportation systems. To provide accurate data-driven decision-making support, a modeling framework is proposed and utilized to analyze modal share change objectives, based on a real-world transportation demand dataset and the long-term mobility strategy from Budapest, Hungary. With the Modal Share Evaluation (MSE) algorithm supported by the Daily Activity Chain Optimization (DACO) framework, several variables, such as travel time, distance, and CO2 emissions, can be estimated for several future hypothetical scenarios. The data for the baseline scenario are derived from a historical dataset on travel patterns from the city, and respective estimations are made for future scenarios while considering five transport modes. The results indicate that a different prioritization of the adoption of transport modes for Budapest may result in various effects on the travelers' activity chains. The proposed MSE algorithm aims to be the first step towards a reproducible disaggregate-level framework that supports decision-makers in estimating how modal share change objectives affect travelers and the urban environment, which will help in creating future transportation policies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210539524001032/pdfft?md5=7a98288602a592f92e8990d8383a9b63&pid=1-s2.0-S2210539524001032-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142151978","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}

Public transport companies usually allocate few financial resources to these areas, providing transport services with low frequency, poor accessibility, poor reliability, and high waiting times at stops. Recently, microtransit has emerged as an effective solution to improve the travel experience in suburban areas, particularly for non-commuting trips during off-peak hours. This paper presents an integrated methodological approach for designing microtransit services to meet the mobility needs of people living in low-density suburbs. By conducting a Reveled Preference (RP) and Stated Preference (SP) survey and developing a travel demand model, the demand was estimated and used as input to simulate and size the service. Combining GIS and simulation models, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were assessed; fleet size to meet the trip requests was identified and the fare was selected using a sensitivity analysis. The method was applied to a real case study to design a new microtransit service with flexible routes and on-demand stops in a suburban area in Palermo, Italy. The results highlight how introducing a microtransit service with 30 nine-seater vans could change the mobility habits of people living in the suburban area, being attractive and financially sustainable if costing 2 €, or just a little more than the existing fixed-route bus service. It could improve the travel experience by reducing the average waiting time at stops to around 5 min and improve access to amenities and PT hubs by guaranteeing a walking time of maximum about 8 min.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210539524000932/pdfft?md5=921643f49b7a27ef1fa0dcc6f29c8f79&pid=1-s2.0-S2210539524000932-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142117516","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}

By pointing out the need for mobility justice research to shift from state-centric to more society-centric frameworks and metrics, this study proposed a Mobility Justice Framework that integrated two important theories of justice: distribution and recognition justice. The proposed framework highlights the distribution of amenities and burdens in providing transport infrastructure. It also aims to identify those disadvantaged socio-economic groups more exposed to mobility inequalities. To make the framework applicable within the city context and guide decision-making, several metrics (variables) were identified to make principles of distributive and recognition justice operationalizable. Variables such as 1) accessibility by walking, 2) exposure to traffic negative effects, 3) frequency of use of transport modes, and 4) availability of transport infrastructure were used to identify neighborhoods and the different types of mobility resources/burdens that disadvantaged socio-economic groups are exposed to. To showcase its usability, the framework and methodology have been applied to the city of Munich to highlight neighborhoods with a higher proportion of older people and the transport disadvantages associated with these target groups. A higher negative correlation between older people and mobility resources/burdens can be observed for the following variables: accessibility by walking to activities, availability of walking and cycling infrastructure, and availability of car-sharing services. When measured against exposure to negative transport effects, a higher positive correlation was observed. The paper ends with a discussion section on the relevance and usability of the proposed framework for transport planning and policy and its limitations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210539524000944/pdfft?md5=201224e09be3e484268baef0ff2fe9da&pid=1-s2.0-S2210539524000944-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142098247","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}
