The efficiency of the public transportation system was defined as travel times for subway, bus, and multimodal modes relative to the number of trips and travel distances. The efficiency score was evaluated by the origin-destination pair unit. As a result, the efficiency score was estimated to be 0.69 on average, indicating that a reduction of 31% in travel times is required to achieve a perfect score of 1.00. Among the 33,313 origin-destination pairs, 39 had a perfect score of 1.00. The results of the interpretation model showed the order of importance for features—buses, subways, and multimodal modes—with SHapley Additive Explanations values of 0.047, 0.029, and 0.022, respectively.

To address this challenge, several cities have implemented subsidies. Understanding the effectiveness of these subsidies is crucial, particularly in cities where a substantial portion of the population, especially those with low incomes, rely on public transport systems. This paper presents a case study conducted in Bogotá, Colombia, employing a randomized controlled field experiment involving 1607 participants. In this intervention, a randomly selected group of frequent public transport users received a cash transfer on their travel cards (a transport voucher) for four months. We aim to estimate the causal effects of providing these vouchers on ridership and affordability. The findings indicate that vouchers on average, increased ridership by up to 9% compared to the control group. This increase was most pronounced on weekdays and during peak hours. Vouchers proved particularly advantageous for populations with low fare-demand elasticity, who constitute the primary users of public transport. Furthermore, it improved their affordability by between 18 and 26%. In summary, our results indicate that providing subsidies in the form of vouchers can effectively boost public transport usage, thereby enhancing affordability for users.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 101492"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142653381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the various facets of supply chain management, selecting appropriate locations in urban areas for logistics facilities, such as automated parcel lockers and smart loading bays, stands out. However, the complexity of decision-making in this context, involving diverse stakeholders with potential conflicting objectives, poses a significant challenge in reaching a common consensus. This paper proposes an innovative approach to address this issue by adopting a spatial participatory process that combines GIS models and Real-Time Spatial Delphi to identify suitable locations for two logistic facilities. The case study is the city of Dublin (Ireland), where an Urban Living Lab of the H2020 project SENATOR is based. A modified Delphi is used, first gathering expert opinions on preferences and objectives. These insights are then used to develop a spatial analysis using GIS, ranking areas according to the expert preferences. These outcomes form the basis for the Real-Time Spatial Delphi, where stakeholders and experts working on the project collaboratively engage to achieve a spatial consensus on the territory. The findings of this study provide valuable information for stakeholders, policymakers, local authorities, and governmental bodies to implement specific actions. Through the active involvement of key actors in the decision-making process, this approach ensures that the selected locations for logistics facilities align with the needs of all parties involved.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 101488"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142527838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect on freight distribution has been particularly noticeable: nowadays, customers may have their orders delivered at or close to the point of consumption and, thus, the volume of freight distributed by logistic operators has increased substantially. This has led to a growing number of carrier companies and an increasing demand for couriers, which can sometimes struggle to fulfill their assigned services. In this article, a study of the current state of last-mile and first-mile reverse logistics in Spain is presented based on the analysis of the operation of 20 carriers located in 15 different Spanish provinces. To this effect, a framework for the classification of service disruptions during last-mile delivery and first-mile collection routes is posited. Eight different potential disruption types are proposed, and methods for managers to identify and categorize service incompletions as such are provided. The results of the analysis highlight the importance of service and courier traceability to improve the handling of service disruptions and, overall, show a considerable improvement margin in the operational performance of carriers, for which several managerial implications are provided.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 101485"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142421642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
