The objective of this study is to identify the variables which interacted with the performance of a cargo bike delivery initiative while considering the specific context of the Covid-19 pandemic. To assess such changing conditions, a multilevel linear regression analysis is carried out. This analysis allows to quantify the number of home deliveries while considering the impact of the number of active Covid-19 cases and sociodemographic predictors on the cargo bike initiative. The dataset covers 6,700 deliveries made by cargo bikes in the city of Montreal over 16 weeks. The results show that the presence of advertising and the characteristics of consumers' households, such as a smaller household size and a younger average age are amongst the strongest factors for the success of such initiative. The specific context of the Covid-19 pandemic allowed a better penetration of cargo bikes within the last-mile ecosystem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 101187"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142098244","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}

It is commonly presumed that the improved mobility and accessibility provided by subway systems are capitalized as a financial premium for nearby real estate assets. This study empirically explores this presumption with a case study of Gwangju, a metropolitan area in South Korea. The study site is found to have had a negative economic impact on housing prices from a subway system in the mid-2010s; however, the sign has changed over time, although the subway has experienced no actual expansion or operational changes. This indicates that the economic impact of subway systems may not necessarily become positive or remain static. We examine a wide range of local contexts to explain the sign change. Our study adopts machine learning algorithms to precisely address the nonlinearity inherent in our dataset and quantifies the importance of housing factors in the assessment of housing prices using SHapley Additive exPlanation. We also employ a series of hedonic pricing models to determine the effects of proximity to subway lines on housing prices across years. Key changes in the later 2010s, including the increased modal share of the subway system and local politics, should have resulted in the potential benefits of the to-be-extended network being widely and fully realized. Our findings contribute to understanding the mechanisms of the economic impact of evolving transportation infrastructure on housing prices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 101188"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142098243","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 sheds light on the impact of the location of logistic facilities on the delivery operation to businesses in metropolitan areas. Thus, the goal of this research is to quantify the impacts of three scenarios in a metropolitan area: (i) location of a new distribution center in the outskirts, (ii) location of a new distribution center in the core, (iii) relocation of an existing distribution center from the outskirts to the core. The impacts discussed are vehicle miles traveled, deliveries per tour, and the number of tours. The authors developed a case study on the New York State Capital Region (USA).

Through a survey of 204 e-scooter users, we dissect the motivations driving both the adoption and continued use of e-scooters, focusing on the interplay between environmental consciousness and practical benefits. Unlike assumptions that might be drawn from advanced economies, our findings indicate that environmental motivations, though significant in global sustainable mobility discourse, do not serve as primary incentives for e-scooter adoption in Türkiye. The research reveals a pronounced preference for immediate, tangible benefits over environmental considerations, suggesting a distinct set of priorities in emerging economies. This insight challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to promoting micromobility and underscores the need for urban mobility policies and strategies to resonate with the specific preferences and daily realities of users in different economic contexts.

This has led to changes in the degree of dependence and demand for mass transportation. This paper proposes that these changes decrease people's demand to live near public transportation services and cause the decline of the positive externality created by public transit as measured by house prices. This paper explores the train stations of Taiwan's two largest cities (Taipei and Kaohsiung) by adopting various hedonic price models to estimate the COVID-19 effect on the premiums of proximity to rail stops. We then analyze whether the changes in premiums are affected by the passenger flow at the station. This paper uses four variables to measure passenger flows: the number of total passengers on services, the net number of passengers (the number leaving the local area minus the number of arriving at the local area), and the expected numbers of commuters and non-commuters. The empirical results of this paper show that after the COVID-19 outbreak, the monetary value of the proximity of railway stations decreased significantly. However, the COVID-19 effect on different stations is heterogeneous. The post-COVID-19 decrease in the positive externality associated with proximity to a rail station is significantly affected by passenger flows. The changes in the positive externality of stations found in this study suggest the public has reduced their dependence on stations due to changes in commuting behavior. We urge the government to pay attention to whether the commuting flows and the public's demand for public transportation have shifted and the use of vehicles and road transportation has risen.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 101185"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142049684","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}

First, single-factor and two-factor models are constructed to analyze the random behavior of freight rates in the shipping market, and the existence of convenience yield is empirically tested. The results provide evidence of the existence of convenience yield in the shipping market, with its stochastic variation being a critical factor in shaping the term structure characteristics of FFAs. Second, an ARMAX model is developed for the freight rate index, and the predictive role of the estimated convenience yield and its difference in spot freight rates is analyzed by operating the two-factor model. The findings reveal a significant predictive effect of convenience yield and its difference on spot freight rates. Last but not least, this study emphasizes the importance of convenience yield as a crucial parameter in the shipping market, particularly regarding the transportation of bulk commodities. Changes in the supply and demand of bulk commodities directly impact the fluctuations in shipping market capacity and convenience yield. This study delivers a new explanatory perspective for price formation in the shipping market and is highly valuable for risk management in this sector.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 101182"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142049685","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}
