Utilizing data from a cross-sectional service survey in rural Wisconsin, 13 important service features were identified by both senior customers and service providers, and grouped into three categories—basic, technological, and special—via exploratory factor analysis. While consensus existed between seniors and providers on the primary importance of basic features, seniors attributed greater significance to technological aspects than service providers anticipated. Differing preferences surfaced between seniors and providers regarding special features. Statistical tests revealed the substantial importance of basic features, particularly among older females, individuals with mobility constraints, and limited leisure activity. Moreover, technological features received higher ratings from older females, younger individuals, and those with internet access. Varied attention towards special features aligned with diverse older adult needs. Service providers, regardless of their characteristics, exhibited consistent prioritization of service features. Our findings emphasize opportunities for rural transport service providers to better serve senior users by enhancing basic service provisions, embracing age-friendly technologies, and tailoring specialized services to meet distinct user requirements within local contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 101175"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141880948","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}

In the second stage, a simulation model is constructed to explore capacity decisions based on various scenarios related to regional densities.

Although previous research has largely concentrated on real-time ride-hailing services, the impact of the built environment on reserved ride-hailing remains unexplored with empirical data. This study integrates multi-source data from Haikou City in China and utilizes the gradient boosting decision tree model, which is an interpretable machine learning approach, to investigate potential relationships between reserved ride-hailing trip demand and the built environment. The rankings of relative importance reveal that factors such as the density of food services, education institutions, accessibility to town centers, and proximity to transportation hubs significantly influence the demand for reserved ride-hailing.

In addition to travel time and costs, it is imperative to comprehend psychosocial factors influencing public transport usage to enhance policies geared toward fostering ridership and sustainable mobility. Empirical evidence suggests that subjective attributes, such as satisfaction and attitudes, exert a discernible influence on travel behavior and the utilization of public transport. Nevertheless, these linkages remain largely unexplored, especially within the context of large public transport networks in cities of the Global South. This paper aims to address this gap by evaluating the impact of demand-side subsidies in the form of travel vouchers on public transport ridership to understand the mediating effect of satisfaction levels according to the users’ socioeconomic characteristics. These satisfaction levels are related to overall satisfaction with transport, employment and educational opportunities, and life. To achieve this, a large-scale randomized controlled experiment was conducted in Bogotá, Colombia, involving a sample of frequent public transport users (<em>N</em> = 1,607). The participants were divided into a treatment group, which received the travel vouchers loaded onto their smart travel cards for four months, and a control group. Hybrid-ordered logit models were employed to estimate the average number of weekly trips undertaken before, during, and after the intervention. The result shows an increase in ridership by the treatment group, which does not solely depend on improved affordability; but is influenced by a complex interplay of socioeconomic factors and shifts in satisfaction levels. This confirmed that travel satisfaction can contribute to increased public transport demand.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 101168"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141542816","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}

To facilitate analysis, the Baltic Sea was divided into three subregions: Southern, Central, and Northern. The study addresses a research gap by providing up-to-date information on the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). Industry reports often focus on individual port performance, neglecting the efficiency of their terminals. The findings indicate that Baltic terminals with an annual turnover exceeding 150 thousand TEU are more efficient than their smaller counterparts. However, no significant difference in efficiency was observed among terminals in different subregions of the Baltic Sea. The above statement implies that all maritime container terminals in the Baltic Sea have benefited equally from the recent restrictions imposed on Russia. However, a closer examination of the DEA-SBM efficiency and benchmark results provides a new perspective that may influence the decisions of container terminal operators in the BSR.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 101166"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141542815","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}
