Data were collected from 300 residents in Taiwan by face-to-face questionnaire interviews. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationship between PEW, transport and recreational walking, body mass index, and health and life satisfaction, incorporating socioeconomic influences. Results indicated that perceptions of land use mix-access and street connectivity reflected PEW for transport, whereas perceptions of the two factors, aesthetics, land use mix-diversity, and walking facilities reflected PEW for recreation. Transport walking was not associated with well-being, but recreational walking was associated with higher health and life satisfaction. Moreover, higher BMI and lower health and life satisfaction were associated with car ownership. Based on the findings, policies for well-being improvement should promote recreational walking, instead of focusing solely on transport walking, by enhancing land use access and diversity, street connectivity, aesthetics, and walking facilities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"19 3","pages":"Pages 227-246"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143724843","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 findings indicate that students are responsive to the financial aspects of cycling, suggesting that subsidies for the purchase of bicycles or bike-share services could increase cycling rates. However, the study also highlights that infrastructure factors—such as the availability of dedicated cycle lanes, secure bicycle parking, and e-bike charging points on campus—are equally, if not more, important in determining the likelihood of students cycling to university. Additionally, linear green infrastructure, such as roads with greenery along the edges (e.g. grass verges, trees, or bushes), was found to be the second most important type of infrastructure for encouraging students residing in the urban area to cycle. Latent psychological factors, such as perceptions of urban safety for cycling and anticipated health and fatigue effects, were also significant in influencing the decision to cycle.

While the introduction of EVs promises to curtail greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the automotive sector, it could trigger a cascade of effects across the intertwined traffic-power system. These ramifications manifest in several key areas, including (i) shifts in driver behavior and route choice, (ii) alterations in energy consumption patterns, (iii) the expansion and placement of charging infrastructure, and (iv) the evolving demands placed on the electric grid. Although the current penetration rate of EVs remains relatively low, their increasing presence on the road will inevitably amplify these consequences, leading to altered traffic dynamics, more conservative driving behavior to reduce energy consumption, and an uptick in electricity demand during charging periods. This review meticulously summarizes the multifaceted effects of EV integration in these domains and outlines various strategies and technologies aimed at mitigating these challenges. These include eco-driving techniques that leverage intelligent vehicle controls to minimize energy consumption, innovative charging schemes to flatten the electricity demand curve, and the implementation of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication enabling vehicles to better respond to their surroundings, among others.

In this application, local and regional discrepancies in bicycling accessibility to jobs, schools, and grocery stores are identified and visualized by integrating the concepts of cyclist types and bicycle level of traffic stress into a new bicycling accessibility metric. Study findings show significant differences in place-based bicycling accessibility across key sociodemographic and economic indicators for the interested but concerned cyclist type, who prefers dedicated bike facilities, slower vehicle speeds, and lower traffic volumes.

These models, based on a locally weighted linear regression method, can serve as a simpler alternative to more conventional methods based, for example, on engine maps obtained by steady-state characterization at engine testbeds, and combined with powertrain subsystem models. The present methodology was applied to a conventional diesel-powered vehicle. Three different modeling approaches are proposed: vehicle-based (VB), engine-based (EB) and engine-based modified (EB*). The VB approach is the simplest, being able to estimate the vehicle fuel consumption by only using, as inputs, wheel torque and speed, while the EB and EB* approaches enhance modeling accuracy by using engine speed and torque, as inputs, along with transmission-related parameters and/or by considering the moments of inertia of the powertrain rotating parts. The manuscript describes, in full, the process used to develop these models, providing significant guidance for researchers who may want to replicate the procedure with their own experimental data. These energy consumption models can be useful tools for the development and assessment of eco-driving or ADAS functions or for energy consumption comparison between different vehicles that were not tested on the same driving cycle. They can also support the estimation of the total energy consumption of vehicles along different traffic conditions or routes, based on a limited number of experiments and low computational effort.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"19 2","pages":"Pages 165-179"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143488050","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}

Our findings underscore the significant influence of regional variations in future PEV adoption rates and vehicle usage patterns on emissions reduction potential.
