Methodologically, traffic meta-analysis follows four key steps. First, it screens literature based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Second, it scores the literature using literature quality assessment criteria. Third, it calculates the percentage improvement (enhancement rate) of the models proposed in the literature over the baseline in terms of accuracy. Finally, it evaluates the role of model structures and influencing factors in the literature by considering the weighted enhancement rate of literature scores, thereby comparing the performance of different perception models. This study constructs a dedicated analytical framework for traffic accident perception models and provides practical guidance for the application of artificial intelligence models in the field of traffic safety.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101576"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145738993","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 term hybrid measure is introduced in this research and the effect of this measure has not been given due attention especially in emerging economies. The hybrid measure consists of 1) push measure, i.e., CP; 2) pull measures for public transit, i.e., lesser number of transfers, lower- access, egress and in-vehicle time, reduced transit travel cost, decreased headway; 3) improvements in transit service, i.e., availability of air-conditioning, increased ease of boarding, lesser onboard crowdedness. We conducted a choice experiment considering several CP scenarios and collected 1028 responses with complete information related to commuters' socio-demographics, travel characteristics, etc. Results from multinomial logit modelling analysis indicated that CP coupled with the availability of air conditioning and ease of transit boarding would attract car commuters towards public buses. Seamless and reduced number of transfers to public buses would also play a major role in improving public bus ridership while implementing CP. We found that commuters' WTP is maximum towards the improvement in ease of boarding and reduction in access time attributes. Also, while estimating the modal trade-off among various generated scenarios, we found that public bus has a maximum probability of being preferred (68.5%) for block C second scenario: ease of boarding, availability of air conditioning are maximum, onboard crowdedness, access and egress time are minimum, and congestion charge for car commuters is highest. Thus, it is believed that a hybrid measure may get larger acceptance than a standalone implementation of push/pull/systemic measures to alleviate congestion and decarbonise urban transport network activities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101608"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146039351","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 research contributes a user-friendly analytical decision-support tool for mobility operators, enabling evidence-based resource allocation and service optimization without requiring advanced analytical tools or expert intervention.

The fuzzy-DEMATEL results indicate that international and national policy influence, leadership and management quality, regulatory compliance, stakeholder engagement, climate adaptation capacity, and trade dynamics act as drivers of environmental performance, while operational routines concerning air and water quality, waste, energy efficiency, and biodiversity serve as receivers of influence. MRA confirms that policy coherence, defined as alignment between international, national, and local governance frameworks, positively affects environmental, economic, and risk outcomes. Conversely, politicised pressure and inconsistent regulatory enforcement weaken overall sustainability performance.

This is the first large-scale study to evaluate the impacts of that policy. More than half a million people have signed up for free passes—but are they actually using them? And is eliminating fares enough to boost public transport use among older adults? Drawing on a representative survey of nearly 1000 older bus passengers in Hanoi, this study uses logit and linear regression models to examine two variables: the frequency of current bus use and the intention to continue using buses. The analysis indicates that about one-third of free pass holders in Hanoi use buses regularly. Beyond that, the study offers insights into who is more likely to use a free pass and why.
