After an online survey was completed in Mumbai, India, a Latent class cluster analysis and structural equation modeling were used to examine the variables influencing parcel locker users' usage. The study is unique in that it looks at three clusters: regular transit users, car owners, and those who own and use two-wheelers to explore the relationship between transportation mode choice and intention to utilize parcel lockers. According to the findings, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived risks, and shopping preference are among the major drivers of behavioral intention to use parcel lockers. Owners of motorcycles and bicycles showed a positive correlation between all parameters and their intention to use parcel lockers, suggesting that ease of access will lead them to utilize this service. The relevance of convenience in locker accessibility was shown by the positive link between perceived usefulness and attitude among regular transit users. Contrary, car owners only indicated a positive correlation with perceived ease of use, indicating a low propensity to use parcel lockers. These results highlight the necessity for urban logistics regulations to adjust to new delivery models like parcel lockers by matching service offerings to various means of transportation and considering locker placement. In cities, these flexible regulations may increase accessibility and encourage creative last-mile solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 101568"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147097","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}

Since improving active transport facilities improves safety and convenience for users, it is important to measure the performance of active transport facilities. Walking speed has been recognised as the main design factor for pedestrian facilities. The purpose of this study is to identify key factors that affect walking speed. Therefore, this study reviews 41 papers with 191 samples and collects external data of quality of life indexes to control the built environment and economic status of each case. A two-step modeling process is developed. First, DBSCAN was used to identify the similarities among the samples. The three clusters (i.e., developed countries, developing countries with higher population density, and developing countries with lower population density) identified are one of the inputs into the second stage where a meta-analysis regression model was used to find critical factors influencing walking speed. Factors with significant positive impacts on walking speed are young pedestrians, cold weather, and two of the DBSCAN clusters (i.e., developed countries, and developing countries with lower population density). Factors that have significant negative impacts on walking speed are elderly pedestrians, female pedestrians, wearing specific clothing, commercial land use, and measuring speed as mean speed (compared to free flow speed). Being in a developed country is found to have the greatest negative impact on walking speed. This study further compares the worldwide Global Street Design Guide indicators with the meta-analysis model results. Findings provide policymakers and planners with a clear guide on the design of facilities for pedestrians to improve walking speed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 101564"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144125318","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 study examines the temporal effect of childbirth on women's LMP and commute time while controlling for individual, period, and cohort effects. We use the longitudinal survey of Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) to analyse historical trends in the gender gap across four cohorts of Post-War, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials and quantify the impact of childbirth on women's LMP and commute time. The results show that the gender gap exists in LMP and commute time across all the investigated generations, nevertheless, the gap has decreased for younger generations. Childbirth reduces women's LMP and commute time by up to 82.3 % and 45.8 %, respectively. The adverse effect of childbirth on LMP and commute time diminishes over time. However, even 12 months after childbirth, LMP and commute time do not fully revert to their pre-childbirth levels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 101563"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144088953","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}

By leveraging discrete choice modeling techniques, specifically mixed multinomial logistic regression, we evaluate a sample of two-vehicle and PEV-adopting Californian households' vehicle transactions from 2017 to 2020. Our results demonstrate that there are strong complementarities among certain vehicle classes. Namely, PEV-adopting households are more likely to pair a car with a large truck or a SUV than with another car. Fuel type complementarities are also observed as households prefer to own a PEV and an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) rather than a PEV-PEV portfolio. We also investigate households' income elasticity of choice for PEVs by quantifying their income sensitivity to the capital costs and operating costs of their vehicle portfolios. The implications of our work are two-fold: by applying the vehicle transaction model to empirical data, we estimate households’ preference parameters for PEVs attributes and portfolios. These results contribute to the growing literature on the quantitative understanding of vehicle replacement decisions for PEV-adopting households. Our work also has implications for the projection of vehicle fleets, where understanding how households take vehicle portfolio complementarities into account is essential for future projections of vehicle fleets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 101559"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143924158","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, most previous studies often overlook the heterogeneity among service providers, resulting in limitations in precisely explaining users' choice behavior. To address this research gap, a hybrid choice modeling approach is employed to explore the brand choice behavior within the same transport service. The proposed brand choice model integrates various latent variables, such as brand attitude and shared micro-mobility usage characteristics, to capture the key factors influencing users' service provider choices. Using electric scooter sharing (ESS) as a case study, stated preference data were collected to analyze the choice behavior of ESS users. The results show that travel attributes, latent variables, and socioeconomic characteristics have significant direct effects on choice probability, whereas brand attitude has substantial mediation effects, revealing the importance of brand evaluation on users' choice behavior.

This study integrates the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with Assemblage Theory to provide a comprehensive framework that does explicate key mechanisms underlying bus drivers' behavioral intentions toward Level 4 autonomous buses. Drawing upon Assemblage Theory, we conceptualize the driver and the autonomous bus as a human-machine collaborative assemblage. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use from TAM are modeled as antecedents, with compatibility and trust from Assemblage Theory as mediators, predicting attitude and behavioral intention. The theoretical model is examined using structural equation modeling on data collected from 719 bus drivers of four major transit companies in Taipei. Results robustly support all hypotheses, with perceived usefulness exhibiting stronger positive effects on trust and compatibility than perceived ease of use. Trust and compatibility positively influenced attitude, which strongly predicted behavioral intention to cooperate with Level 4 autonomous bus introduction.
