The research results show that Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kobe ports perform best in operational efficiency, with efficiency scores of 1.000; while Tomakomai and Hakata ports have low scores of 0.233 and 0.363, respectively, due to insufficient infrastructure utilization. In terms of environmental efficiency, Kobe and Yokohama ports also perform well, with efficiency values of 1.000, while Tomakomai Port has the lowest environmental efficiency of only 0.084. The result found that high-efficiency ports usually have advanced automation equipment and green infrastructure, while low-efficiency ports face problems of inefficient energy utilization and high emission intensity. The dual efficiency evaluation framework constructed in this research provides port managers and policymakers with a quantitative basis for green port transformation and supports Japan's sustainable port development path planning under the decarbonization goals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101592"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145885184","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 study addresses this critical gap by introducing a novel drone-based hazmat transportation framework built on two core innovations: the Accident Prediction and Mitigation System (APRiMS) and a multi-dimensional risk prediction suite. APRiMS functions as an autonomous decision-support engine, continuously processing real-time flight, shipment, and environmental data to estimate accident likelihood and initiate mitigation measures. In parallel, the framework incorporates four machine learning models that predict the potential impacts of drone-related incidents on the public, businesses, and customers. These components operate within a closed-loop architecture, wherein risk predictions dynamically inform APRiMS decisions, enabling real-time, consequence-aware operational responses. The proposed framework offers a scalable and intelligent deployment of drones for high-risk logistics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101585"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145885182","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 study aims to examine the psychological factors influencing behavioral intention to adopt public bicycle-sharing services (PBSS) in India, where bicycle-sharing is still at a nascent stage. The priori acceptance of PBSS is evaluated to understand the role of the various psychological factors during the initial stage of technology introduction. For this purpose, the technology acceptance model is extended where psychological constructs perceived fun (PF), subjective norm (SN), environmental value (EV), health value (HV), functional value (FV), perceived risk (PR), and transactional assurance (TA) are incorporated in the model, along with the original constructs (i.e., perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEoU) and behavioral intention (BI). A hybrid two-staged Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) - Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach is proposed for the analysis that allows for both causal relationship assessment and accurate prediction analysis. The results of the SEM-ANN analysis revealed that PU, PF, SN, and FV are the most significant predictors of intention to use PBSS, followed by HV and EV. Surprisingly, neither TA nor PR had a statistically significant impact on BI. However, TA is positively associated with PEoU, while PR negatively predicts it. Nonetheless, PEoU does not have a significant direct impact on behavioral intention to adopt PBSS. The findings of the hybrid approach contribute toward the theory-building of PBSS acceptance at an early stage and thus provide ways in which decision-makers and policymakers can incorporate the findings while promoting PBSS adoption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101609"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146039355","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}

Using a Difference-in-Differences (DID) framework, this research quantifies the environmental impacts of dry port operations on PM₂.₅ pollution. However, substantial geographic heterogeneity emerges: pollution reductions are most pronounced in cities located 150–600 km from seaports and in regions with developed railway infrastructure, whereas dry ports beyond 750 km from seaports exhibit adverse environmental impacts. Additionally, environmental benefits prove stronger in less economically developed cities and coastal provinces.

While existing literature often focuses on discrete regulatory changes, this study provides a longitudinal analysis of a single instrument’s lifecycle, supplemented by post-2017 reform evaluations and in-depth international comparisons. We argue that the SVS evolved from a simple administrative license into a multi-functional regulatory node, central to safety inspection, fee collection, and data aggregation. Our analysis demonstrates that the system’s benefit-to-cost ratio remained positive as long as its ancillary functions—particularly port fee collection—generated significant revenue and operational intelligence. However, the nationwide abolition of port and shipping fees served as a critical juncture, inverting this ratio and leading to the system’s termination as costs (primarily administrative burden and transaction costs) outweighed diminishing benefits. By conducting a systematic comparison between the SVS and the European Union’s River Information Services (RIS), we clarify their similarities, differences, and relative strengths/weaknesses amid maritime digitalization. We also analyze the post-2017 Vessel Entry-Exit Report System (VESREP) as the SVS’s successor, offering cross-temporal insights for global maritime governance. This study theorizes a “regulatory lifecycle model” for maritime governance instruments, positing that sustainability depends on maintaining positive net value amid technological change, policy shifts, and functional unbundling.
