Previous studies have primarily focused on forecasting annual regional freight demand and freight flow regarding freight trips or commodity flow, overlooking research into daily freight weight and parcels and the influence of various events on daily freight flow. This oversight neglects support for daily transportation tasks. In this study, we utilize a freight flow dataset comprising daily freight weight and parcels from a leading logistics company in cold regions of China. A hybrid XGBoost-SHAP and Prophet model is proposed to overcome the issue of Prophet failing to select important indicators, and to predict future freight flow and examine the correlation between freight flow and special events. Our findings reveal that the hybrid Prophet model outperforms LSTM, ARIMA, Prophet-SARIMA and the conventional Prophet model; meanwhile festivals and strict epidemic prevention policies have a significant impact on freight flow. These findings, derived from various contexts provincially, suggest that the Prophet model with events can serve multiple objectives in predicting freight flow, and contribute to the design of freight strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101294"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143139602","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}

Utilizing the PLS-SEM method, the structural model confirms that service quality is a hierarchical second order model which extensively impacts customer satisfaction and positively affects service loyalty. Specifically, fulfillment, security & privacy, system availability, and efficiency factors of e-service quality emerged as significant determinants of user loyalty and satisfaction. In addition, customer satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between service quality and intention to continue using the ridesharing services. The findings highlight the role of delivering high-quality digital services in fostering customer loyalty, commitment, and retention in the ride-sharing domain, particularly in developing economies. In addition, this study highlights that Bangladeshi perspectives on the sharing economy emphasize the need for better infrastructure, improved safety and privacy for women, and affordable, reliable service, insights that are also relevant for other emerging economies. Theoretically, this study extends the research of ridesharing services by applying the well-established <em>E</em>-S-QUAL framework while assessing the mediating role of customer satisfaction in ensuring service viability.

By integrating stakeholder theory, the theory of planned behavior, and resource dependence theory, we identify the driving factors influencing RPCHTB. We develop three theoretical models to examine causal relationships between RPCHTB, driving factors, and the energy and emission performance of hinterland transport. An empirical partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) is then constructed, using revealed preference data collected from four Yangtze River Delta ports between 2017 and 2021 to validate these models. The results show that attitude is a significant driver of RPCHTB, leading to improved environmental performance. Perceived behavioral control directly enhances RPCHTB and indirectly through attitude. Additionally, stakeholders influence environmental performance and RPCHTB both directly and indirectly, mainly via attitude and perceived behavioral control.

This research employs a difference-in-differences approach to analyze treatment effects locally and the spatial spillover effects to neighbors regarding high-speed rail's economic impacts, focusing particularly on variations across urban and non-urban areas. The primary findings reveal that, on average, high-speed rail leads to a increase of 3390 RMB in GDP per capita at the local level. However, the spillover effects on neighboring areas are not statistically significant. This study also highlights the existence of urban-rural disparities in both the treatment and spillover effects. Specifically, establishing high-speed rail stations is positively linked to local economic development in both urban and non-urban areas, with the former experiencing a more significant impact (5950 RMB) than the latter (2190 RMB). In addition, stations in urban areas contribute to economic growth in nearby non-urban areas but have an adverse effect on neighboring urban areas. This finding underscores the urban-rural interdependence and the competition for resources among urban areas.

Additionally, the time-dependent effects of the tram system and its effects at different price levels remain underexplored. This study fills these gaps by analyzing the relationship between Chengdu Tram Line 2 and nearby property prices. Using a before-and-after treatment-control design and a dataset of 33,150 property transactions over six years, it applies multilevel hedonic price, difference-in-differences (DID), and quantile regression models to investigate the association between accessibility to tram stops, proximity to tram tracks, and property prices during various phases (e.g., construction and operation phases). Our findings are listed below. First, the positive influence of accessibility to tram stops only becomes significant during the operation phase. Specifically, property prices within 800 m of tram stops are 1.4 % higher than those farther away. Second, price penalties induced by proximity to tram tracks persist throughout the construction and operation phases. Third, the impact of accessibility to tram stops varies significantly across different price levels. Specifically, buyers of low-priced properties are more willing to pay a premium for accessibility to tram stops, whereas purchasers of high-end properties prefer greater distances from tram tracks to avoid nuisances. The results highlight the time-dependent accessibility benefits and negative externalities linked to tram services. Finally, policy implications, such as measures to alleviate the disturbances caused by tram tracks, are discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101286"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143139607","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}
