A stated preference questionnaire survey was carried out, interviewing 692 ferry passengers about their travel decisions in hypothetical scenarios. The results of the discrete choice models indicated that fare, wait time for services, travel time of road-based transport/waterborne transport, and the number of intermediate stops significantly influence travelers’ decisions.

The analysis uses a cross-sectional dataset of 463,568 passenger vehicles inspected in Hungary between January and March 2023, which includes key technical attributes such as engine performance, cylinder capacity, and drive-by noise levels. Using causal discovery algorithms (PC, FCI, and GES) with and without ontology-based constraints, directed acyclic graphs are constructed to identify structural relationships among these variables and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. For causal inference, effect sizes of engine performance and other technical characteristics on emissions are estimated while considering potential confounding factors. The findings show that ontology-informed models improve both the plausibility and interpretability of the discovered causal structures, though limitations remain regarding unobserved variables and nonlinear relationships; accordingly, this validation-focused case study provides a foundation for extensions to behavior-driven contexts (e.g. usage patterns, compliance, market responses) where causal structure and effect magnitudes are more uncertain in advance. The results indicate that cylinder capacity and specific power (engine performance at fixed displacement) are among the strongest contributors to CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, with ontology constraints reducing spurious links and increasing robustness across algorithms. Policy implications include the need for regulatory measures that integrate domain knowledge into emissions assessments, as well as the importance of updating technical standards and testing frameworks to reflect causal interactions rather than simple correlations.

Therefore, urban logistic systems encounter significant sustainability challenges. One urban transport strategy is city hubs, which can achieve a more effective system. However, city hubs have yet to realize their full potential due to the challenges of their implementation. This paper investigates the dynamics of city hub implementation from the perspectives of the Logistic Service Providers (LSPs), the hub operator and the receivers of the goods. Drawing from qualitative and quantitative insights from a case study in Stockholm, a system dynamics model is built to understand these dynamics. The results of this model demonstrate that the city hub is economically sustainable only if collaboration is achieved between LSPs and receivers. However, the total system cost increases with collaboration. When collaboration cannot be achieved, the public sector’s involvement is crucial to achieving hub adoption. The results also show that implementing an environmental zone (internal combustion engine vehicles are forbidden entry) does not help hub adoption, as the share of the LSPs cost spent on vehicles is low compared to other costs. Therefore, policies favoring the actors involved in the scheme should be considered. The main contribution of this paper lies in identifying possible strategies and outcomes of city hub implementation within the studied area and providing guidance for policymakers on policies for successful implementation. Moreover, the model can be adapted to other case studies by adjusting the input data, thereby serving as a tool for policymakers in different geographical contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"20 4","pages":"Pages 374-395"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147588061","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 data-driven paradigm integrating smartcard data, automated bus location data, and online mapping platforms (Gaode Map) is introduced to develop a dynamic per-mode per-capita carbon emission model. This model captures the spatiotemporal variations in carbon savings from bus travel by accounting for two essential factors: operational dynamics (such as real-time speed changes due to traffic congestion) and fluctuations in passenger load (i.e. occupancy rates across different routes and times of day). The resulting framework delivers accurate, trip-level emission estimates, enabling robust comparison with counterfactual private car trips used as a baseline. This provides an empirically grounded basis for designing effective incentive mechanisms. Further analysis reveals considerable spatiotemporal heterogeneity in emission reductions, with carbon savings varying significantly by time of day and geographic region. These patterns support the design of tailored incentives that account for local and temporal conditions. Notably, the study challenges the prevailing assumption that bus travel is invariably more carbon-efficient than private car use. Instead, findings demonstrate the carbon advantage of bus travel is “conditionally relative,” highly dependent on contextual factors such as occupancy levels.
