In response, the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, has joined UN programs and developed a decarbonization plan aimed at neutralizing GHG emissions. This plan proposes strategies for reducing emissions from collective public transport. This article evaluates the emissions and impacts on human health and the environment associated with different fuels used in public transport. The fuels analyzed include BS-500, BS-10, electricity, and compressed natural gas (CNG). A method based on well-to-wheel analysis was used to assess emissions of air pollutants (CO, NOₓ, SO<sub>2</sub>, NMHC, PM), GHGs (CO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, N<sub>2</sub>O), and their related impact categories. This method was applied to the public transport system in the Metropolitan Region of Greater Vitória, Brazil, using real fleet operation data from 2022. Six scenarios were evaluated, considering the partial or total replacement of the current fleet. Data on fuel production was obtained from Ecoinvent <em>via</em> OpenLCA, and the impact categories were analyzed using the IMPACT 2002+ method. The results indicate that a complete electrified fleet is the best transition alternative, potentially reducing CO<sub>2</sub>e emissions by 99.75%. Given the associated costs, partial electrification is a viable alternative, offering substantial reductions in all emissions. However, the use of CNG proved not to be a suitable option for decarbonization, as it sometimes increased emissions of certain pollutants and is a fossil fuel.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"20 1","pages":"Pages 82-107"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145847694","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 survey examines socio-economic traits, travel habits, and attitudes toward cycling, with a focus on four infrastructural aspects: dedicated bike lanes, intersection treatments, bike-sharing services, and secure parking, alongside three latent factors—perceived benefits, physical barriers, and safety/security barriers. Findings reveal that only 8% of suburban rail users currently cycle to stations. Younger, lower-income individuals without motorized vehicles show a greater inclination to adopt cycling. However, broader uptake is hindered by safety issues, poor infrastructure, and insufficient secure parking. Health assessments using WHO’s Health Economic Assessment Tool estimate that the best scenario, with 54% of users cycling 4 km daily, could prevent around 5483 premature deaths annually. The study recommends implementing protected bike lanes, improved intersection designs, secure bike parking, and affordable bike-sharing at select stations to promote cycling as a viable access mode.

Consequently, there is a lack of relevant historical evidence and data relating to rural mobility and Rural MaaS (RMaaS). However, as the subject of rural mobility climbs political agendas, there has been an increased focus in the area, and in turn RMaaS, in both developed and developing countries. In Scotland, one six-month mixed (rural and urban) MaaS pilot has been completed and a further four pilots (two regional with rural components commenced in 2021). The development of these pilot projects highlighted both the general knowledge gap in dedicated RMaaS programmes, and the paucity of available evidence on RMaaS from the Scottish context. The research reported in this paper was set in a real-world context to understand RMaaS, by adopting the empirical method of case studies to develop a user-centered or ‘consumer’ co-design approach. The research, undertaken in Scotland prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, revealed eight common barriers to both non-car and car users in rural areas when engaging with different transport modes, and useful insights for the development of user-focused RMaaS. Identified barriers included a lack of information and an inability to put bicycles on buses and unsafe roads for active travel. The findings also highlight that understanding these lived experiences is crucial in the development of sustainable rural mobility and that this should be appreciated by key stakeholders responsible for the development of RMaaS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"20 1","pages":"Pages 46-62"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145847681","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 effective scheduling of electric vehicle charging to save operational expenses and minimize waiting times in settings with restricted charger access is a significant optimization challenge. A novel improved Highest Response Ratio Next algorithm integrated with the Walrus Optimization Algorithm (IHRRN-WaOA) is proposed to address the scheduling challenge under constraints imposed by limited charging infrastructure. The proposed approach is structured as a two-step optimization framework, where the first step solves the charger allocation problem to minimize wait times, and the second step optimizes charging schedules to reduce both charging costs and battery degradation costs while satisfying EV energy demands. A dynamic online scheduling mechanism is introduced, leveraging the schedulable time of EVs and real-time fluctuations in energy demand to achieve optimal scheduling decisions. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed IHRRN-WaOA method significantly reduces both total waiting time and station operating costs. Specifically, the method achieves a 19.47% reduction in waiting time compared to First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS) and a 14.89% reduction compared to the Highest Response Ratio Next technique. Additionally, the proposed method lowers the operational costs by 8.88% compared to FCFS and by 6.401% compared to HRRN, making it highly effective for both low- and high-incoming EV traffic scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"20 1","pages":"Pages 16-32"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145847679","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}

However, collecting detailed fleet composition and distribution of operational patterns remains a barrier to accurately accounting for these impacts. The recently released 2021 US Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey (US VIUS) fills a critical gap in understanding commercial truck fleet distributions, their operations, and business constraints at the national scale. This study aims to understand the latest US commercial vehicle fleet composition and operational characteristics using 2021 US VIUS data and calibrate the fleet inputs in regulatory emission models to assess the potential emission implications of the VIUS-derived fleet composition. The emission rates for commercial trucks and default fleet composition are collected from the U.S. EPA’s MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES4). The 2021 US VIUS data is applied to improve fleet characteristics such as the long-haul fraction and the vehicle mileage accumulation rate. The study also investigates potential emission reduction benefits under various forecasted fleet electrification scenarios. The energy consumption and critical air pollutant rates by vehicle types are compared between MOVES4 and US VIUS fleets for both current and future scenarios to provide insights into the latest U.S. commercial vehicle fleet characteristics and their implications on energy and emissions. This study helps policymakers and practitioners advance the commercial fleet generation for emission models. It also deepens the understanding of the emission reduction potential of the commercial fleet under various fleet projections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"19 12","pages":"Pages 1162-1180"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145645879","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}
