Data was stored, displayed, managed, and analyzed using a Geographic Information System. Three accessibility indicators entering the freight generation model are tested. The temporal accessibility index is the best-performing accessibility measure for the case study conducted in Colombia. The models exhibit that accessibility positively affects freight generation, proving a solid link between temporal accessibility and agricultural production. When using the models to predict the impact of new transport infrastructure projects, changes in agricultural production were not highly significant.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101426"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0739885924000210/pdfft?md5=a100c6314d9f487c97026b30017033da&pid=1-s2.0-S0739885924000210-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140341110","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}

Choosing which airport to use depends on the competition between the airlines operating from them and how accessible they are to the residents in the surrounding areas. This research introduces an efficient design based on D-error using a stated preferences survey to study user behaviour when choosing between competing airports. The data is modelled using a Multinomial Logit Model and a Random Parameter Error Component Logit (RPECL), a discrete choice model which allows us to study user preferences taking into account their varying systemic and random tastes, as well as find specific correlations which may exist between similar alternatives. This meant the authors were also able to calculate the direct and cross elasticities to examine the weight of the different variables involved in making the choice of airport. The results showed, for a study case in Spain (Bilbao and Seve Ballesteros - Santander airports), that increased access time to the furthest airport caused an important fall in demand (choice) for that airport. It was also shown that access fees had a lower elasticity than the flight cost and that the fewer the transfers required to reach the final destination increased the probability of choosing an airport. Therefore, in order for smaller airports to compete with larger airports they need to invest more in reducing the cost of flights, attracting more low-cost companies and offering more direct complementary destinations than those provided by larger airports.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101427"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0739885924000222/pdfft?md5=a5688cdc31a5a5be17319b9ae4f97ee6&pid=1-s2.0-S0739885924000222-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140320609","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}

However, barriers are limiting the speed and extent of uptake. Indeed, freight decarbonisation is a sociotechnical challenge. Behaviour change is usually required to facilitate technological change. For this reason, stakeholders are central to processes of identifying pathways to decarbonisation. The paper reports findings from two projects undertaken in the UK in 2020–21 which examined how stakeholder engagement on freight decarbonisation could be enhanced to promote the process of identifying pathways through co-creation. The projects involved the conduct of literature reviews, stakeholder mapping exercises, and stakeholder engagement in coproduction workshops. The stakeholder mapping and engagement process led to the identification of groups of actors which were relatively easy and hard to include. Engagement and interaction were found to be promoted in some respects by the need to conduct the data collection remotely rather than in presence, and by building on established networks. In terms of the identification of pathways, stakeholders showed mixed levels of knowledge. Uncertainty about the future was generally high, with perceived risks being important. Nonetheless, short, medium and long-term pathway features were identified, with electrification playing a key role in the long term. However, the need for strong multilevel governance providing a clear regulatory framework and incentives for change was perceived by stakeholders overall to be more significant than a particular technology. The paper concludes with an agenda for further research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101424"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0739885924000192/pdfft?md5=6ccf647f1dc32bdb25bf2a8b2738e2c1&pid=1-s2.0-S0739885924000192-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140272987","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}

Conversely, the spare capacity of the public transport system could reduce the externalities of urban freight transport and then promote sustainable cities. This article identifies and evaluates key factors for developing integrated freight and public transport systems. Key factors were identified with a literature review and then classified into benefits and barriers related to the urban environment, and challenges and strengths related to the transport operation. Subsequently, these factors were evaluated by experts and classified by estimating a Luce model. The results indicate that benefits are related to the fight against climate change by optimising urban space and reducing the movements of freight vehicles. Barriers are associated with the lack of a collaborative culture and the need to change consumer behaviour, which helps to promote collaboration and reduce just-in-time demand. For the transport operation, the integration of people and freight systems can reduce operational costs, increase the efficiency of the transport system, and improve the accessibility for people and goods, while promoting economic development by decentralising economic activity. To achieve these benefits, the main challenges concern the logistic activity and the cooperation of stakeholders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101425"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140274531","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 rationale is to add more knowledge on factors that determine users' experience with congestion. Furthermore, we use a succinct econometric framework to assess the data. We find that the following factors influence road users' experiences with congestion: (1) whether they experienced congestion on their reference trip; (2) how often road users undertake trips during congestion; (3) the extent to which road users had potential alternative modes of transport other than car use; (4) education; (5) whether respondents had time commitments at their destinations; (6) travel time used during their journey; (7) how often they experience congestion as a problem during their journey; (8) when participants begin to experience discomfort with congestion; and (9) age. The direction of these factors' impact on experience is explained in the results section. For example, those who did not experience congestion on their previous trip are 26 percentage points more likely to report a negative experience with congestion than those who did. The results provide new insight into the factors that determine road users' experience with congestion. Finally, we warn that one should not be indifferent regarding the logit models used, as the results can be quite different.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101423"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0739885924000180/pdfft?md5=0ca3c5a4aa86507336d524d2a1542021&pid=1-s2.0-S0739885924000180-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140145107","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}

The reservation-based parking mode has gained considerable popularity. Obviously, there is a competitive relationship between these two parking modes, posing a challenge for parking management authorities to achieve a balance. This study investigates pricing strategies in a duopoly parking market, comprising two distinct types of parking companies: search-based and reservation-based. We analyze three power structure models: (i) the Bertrand model, (ii) the Stackelberg model with the reservation-based parking company as a leader, and (iii) the Stackelberg model with the search-based parking company as a leader. Additionally, we develop a three-player game model that considers the involvement of the third-party investor in the reservation mode. Our findings indicate that the overall profit of the search-based parking company declines when the driver preference of reservation-based parking company increases. Moreover, reservation-based parking companies exhibit greater robustness compared to their search-based counterparts when facing penalty delays and fluctuations in waiting costs. Furthermore, a prudent evaluation is advised for the third-party investor when assessing investment opportunities, especially in scenarios where drivers demonstrate a pronounced preference for search-based parking companies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 101416"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140013920","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}

It is shown that the CR-Express network has become more complicated, but in 2016 the overall structure was basically stable, and consistently presents clear small-world and scale-free characteristics. The nodes in the network can be partitioned into four groups based on their influence on network connectivity and the number of block trains departing from them, namely core nodes, freight demand nodes, key nodes and edge nodes. Among them, core nodes and freight demand nodes are located in the central and western regions during the whole study period, and the newly added nodes in the eastern region from 2016 to 2019 are edge nodes.
