Women feel more unsafe than men. Despite this, most infrastructure and transport services have historically ignored the differing needs of men and women. However, it is important to study gender differences for effective transport planning and to provide a safe system that is not a disadvantage for any group of people. This study aims to analyse the factors associated with the perception of unsafety and how it impacts the choice of public transport modes. It focuses on gender differences, using Santiago, Chile, as a case study. Mode choice data was collected through a revealed preferences survey, with which a hybrid discrete choice model was estimated, incorporating a latent variable termed “unease,” combining unsafety and discomfort elements. Results show that women, especially younger ones, experience a higher perception of unsafety and discomfort, which intensifies when they live in a district with high rates of assault. As a result, people with a greater perception of unease tend to prefer the subway, either exclusively or in combination with the bus, instead of using only the bus. Additionally, it was observed that occasional users are more sensitive to bus waiting times. The study highlights the need for public policies and suggests measures to address these concerns to promote safer, more sustainable, and equitable mobility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101609"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144670726","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 increase in demand challenges traditional delivery, with some parcels becoming disproportionately costly to deliver to their destinations. To address this, we introduce a cost-based outlier parcel selection mechanism that identifies parcels with a high negative impact on the marginal delivery costs. These outlier parcels are then eliminated from their tours and outsourced to a crowdshipping market, where individuals combine the delivery task with their already planned trips. We use unique data on delivery tours of six service providers for the province of South Holland in the Netherlands. The cost-based decision rule for identifying outlier parcels results in a low proportion of outsourcing to the crowdshipping market compared to earlier literature. We identify only about 1 % of the total parcel demand as outliers across all carriers combined. Of these outlier parcels, the proportion selected for crowdshipping based on their cost efficiency ranges from 42.78 % to 3 %, depending on the scenario. While crowdshipping provides a viable solution for handling a small portion of last-mile deliveries, its environmental and economic sustainability is restricted by factors such as compensation rates and the delivery mode used. This study demonstrates that outsourcing high-cost outlier parcels to crowdshipping can be cost-efficient and reduce emissions of last-mile logistics companies; however, the proportion of these parcels is very small, limiting the overall impact on sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101607"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144653761","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}

FP models were developed using both typologies and benchmarked against regional and industry-class models. In Kerala, the Survey-based Typology yielded the most accurate models, with two out of five classes showing a substantial reduction in residual variance compared to regional models. These models improved R<sup>2</sup> values by up to 22 % over unsegmented baseline models. The Observable Typology also improved model performance, but to a lesser extent. In Hyderabad, typology-based models improved prediction accuracy for specific classes, particularly those with high freight-generating intensity. Across both regions, the Survey-based Typology consistently explained freight production variation better than industry classifications or spatial factors alone. The results confirm that data-driven typologies, especially those capturing firm behaviour and logistics attributes, provide significant gains in modelling freight production and enable finer-grained understanding of establishment-level freight activity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101606"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144631682","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}

A number of key factors affect BRT adoption in SSA, including poorly developed road networks, constrained demand and affordability limits, and the strength and importance of the legacy informal public transport (PT) ecosystem. In response, some cities have increasingly departed from the conventional infrastructure-heavy BRT design approach towards lighter, more incremental deployment concepts, in an effort to better match local realities and constraints. This paper aims to describe this shift and put it into the context of a continuum of BRT deployment approaches. A literature review presents clarifying terminology and an overview of recent BRT system design in SSA cities. We then describe a phased implementation approach evolving in South African cities that focus on improving existing services gradually towards the final BRT design. Two examples of BRT evolution in large (City of Tshwane) and medium-sized (Rustenburg) cities are described in more detail. The potential implications of design standards are explored and provide insight for cities in developing countries seeking designs best-suited to enhance PT services with limited funding.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101604"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144516398","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}

Results indicate that CWB influenced QoL positively for both genders, but the effect was less pronounced for women. Commute time, waiting time, and commute discomfort negatively influenced CWB. Commute cost significantly influenced men's CWB and QoL. Commute discomfort negatively influenced women's QoL. Commute mode negatively impacted men's QoL but positively affected women's. The residence zone's greater access to public transport stops reduced men's CWB and women's QoL. Greater access to employment opportunities increased men's CWB and women's QoL.
