For this study, eight BRT characteristics were included. Results (n = 1019) show that four characteristics are valued the most: frequency, service hours, reliability and stop spacing. The attractiveness of three different service formulas or configurations is evaluated. The more conventional bus configuration is preferred by the majority of the respondents. However, a considerable amount (25%) of respondents that prefer this configuration does not consider using this service formula. Configurations that either address offering more passenger comfort or higher capacity, do seem to be attractive to distinct passenger segments who are more likely to actually use the service. These appealing BRT configurations address different types of passenger segments and therefore could coexist on certain routes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 101307"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50189726","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}

This paper uses questionnaire survey data to explore this issue quantitatively. Expectations and satisfaction are examined using both aggregate and disaggregate analysis. In disaggregate analysis, expectations and satisfaction are jointly modelled in bivariate ordered probit models to investigate the interrelationships between them. The results are as follows. Residents have high expectations in various issues, and those in metropolitan areas tend to be satisfied with the transportation-related services provided by railway companies. However, there is quite a large amount of dissatisfaction with railway company activities in fields other than transportation. Expectations and satisfaction depend on the respondents’ attributes, including residential geographical conditions, and these vary even among stations within the same company, but expectations and satisfaction have little relationship to whether or not residents frequently travel by train.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 101303"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50189702","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}

As a response, the Mexican rail regulator, the Regulatory Agency of Rail Transport (ARTF) responsible for overseeing different aspects of rail transportation, such as the economic regulation regarding tariffs, established the regulation and determined maximum rates for the provision of the rail service concerning three different concessionaires in twenty origin-destination pairs for the transportation of chlorine, ethylene oxide, anhydrous ammonia, and caustic soda.</p><p>The model used in the economic regulation consisted of establishing a maximum rate per tonne-kilometre for each combination of route and product.

Based on data in this study, we find that <em>ceteris paribus</em> a one-trip increase in the daily frequency of Eurostar would stimulate demand for more than 94,500 passengers per year (2.3% of current ridership), while a reduction of HSR travel time by 10 min would increase current flows by at least 1.3%. Analyzing the demand implications of a possible policy of ending air routes for environmental purposes, we prove that the cancellation of air connections would result in a reduction of current demand higher than 6%.

Hence, this study seeks to analyze the travel experience of public transit users through the lens of vulnerability. The main objective of the research is to investigate transit users’ expenditure on travel, both in terms of time and money, which are regarded as “budgets” allocated to travel. The analysis is based on a survey distributed to 457 public transit users in Addis Ababa. The study applied proportions, percentages and cross-tabulation of key variables and statistical methods, such as one-way ANOVA to analyze the level of vulnerability of transit users. The result shows that low- and middle-income groups bear a higher level of travel burden, in terms of total travel time<span> and percentage of income spent on transport than high income groups. Transport expenditure accounted above 20% of household income for 88% of low-income groups. However, it is below 15% of household income for high income groups, which reveals less financial burden on them. In terms of travel time, 63.8% of middle income groups experience a total travel time of more than 2 h and 52.3% of low-income groups but only 36.3% of high-income groups devote a total travel time above 2 h. Therefore, transport policy formulation should consider the needs and challenges of various groups of transit users.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 101247"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50189810","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}

However, due to limited battery and payload capacities which may reduce the system's efficiency, it is better to coordinate ground vehicles and drones to take advantage of both trucks' large capacity and the drone's high speed. As a restriction for realistic parcel delivery systems, customer presence is only sometimes deterministic. For instance, a customer makes an order from an e-retailer, but due to various probable reasons, he cannot be present at home to get service. In this paper, we have introduced a sustainable hybrid truck-drone delivery model with stochastic customer presence. We have modeled the system with the Markov chain and proposed a linear mathematical model. This work processes with a heuristic and a Branch-and-Bound algorithm. Also, we have carried out numerous computational experiments to evaluate the proposed solution methods' performance, where the results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithms. Finally, we performed a detailed sensitivity analysis on a case study and studied various aspects of the problem. The results highlight that truck and drone coordination reduces completion time, operational costs, truck emissions, and social penalties.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 101325"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50189717","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}
