While these challenges are particularly pronounced in developing countries, similar issues are observed in Europe, where women frequently report negative experiences as users of transport systems. This study investigates whether Mobility as a Service (MaaS) can address these gender-specific concerns by providing safer, more flexible and inclusive transport options. A survey was conducted with Italian respondents to identify women's mobility needs, with a particular focus on security. Basic statistical analysis of the survey results reveals that both women and men acknowledge the security challenges women face while travelling and rate security features to be included in a MaaS application for improving their experiences. Based on the survey results, the study proposes a set of key features for a \"MaaS4Women\" application that could help reduce perceived risks and enhance security. The findings suggest that customizing MaaS features and bundles to meet women's specific needs could be an important step towards improving gender equity in transport.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101585"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144184589","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}

Transport is an essential factor in starting and promoting tourism. Nevertheless, community sustainability is greatly affected by transportation. Sustainability can be considered from different aspects, including environmental, economic, and social aspects. Sustainable tourism can be achieved by providing public transportation to different groups of society, especially vulnerable groups. The aging population is growing, and their long-distance travel demands are increasing. Aside from having more free time, the elderly also need to travel for a variety of reasons. Transportation systems must meet certain requirements in order to attract people with physical and mental disabilities. The purpose of this paper is to examine what factors facilitate long trips for the elderly, what factors must be taken into account by public transportation systems (airplane, bus, and train), and how we can encourage these groups of people to use public transportation systems on long trips. This study is based on a survey of seniors’ travel demands in Kerman, Iran, performed in 2023. The analysis used random forest, multinomial logistic regression, and structural equation modelling. This study indicates that many seniors would like to make longer-distance trips, but need improved services that meet their needs. However, tourism could attract wealthy seniors if special services are provided. The service quality of buses and trains must be improved to be attractive to the elderly who are not wealthy enough, because of equity issues.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101584"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144178208","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 investigates COVID-19 impacts from the perspective of changes in key markets for public transport, verifying significance using beta regression.

The findings of the study can help policymakers reconsider the roles of particular public transport systems in the light of disruptive events. This study suggests that during disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers should move beyond simply subsidizing essential public transport services.

Ultimately, our study contributes to a better understanding of last-mile delivery intents by providing insightful information to legislators and courier businesses seeking to encourage locker usage. 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}
