As a promising and sustainable solution to mitigating these vehicle externalities, shared mobility reduces the required vehicle fleet size for serving a given level of demand by sharing a vehicle among travelers with similar schedules and itineraries. Public acceptance is the key to the success of shared mobility development. This study investigates the acceptance of drivers and passengers of two typical competing shared mobility modes, car-pooling and taxi ride sharing, taking Hong Kong as a case study. For an empirical evaluation, an on-street stated preference survey was conducted, and 829 respondents, including 257 private car owners and 572 non-private car owners were interviewed about their travel preferences in three given hypothetical scenarios. In total, 2,487 observations were collected for calibrating two proposed logit-based discrete choice models for drivers and passengers. The model results show that the out-of-pocket cost, in-vehicle travel time, and out-of-vehicle time are key factors influencing travelers’ decisions toward car-pooling and taxi ride-sharing. An equilibrium model was proposed and an iteration solution procedure was applied to obtain a convergent solution to balance the demand and supply of drivers and passengers for car-pooling services. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses were carried out to examine the effects of variations in proportions of travel cost and taxi fare shared by passengers for car-pooling and taxi ride-sharing, and to assist in the formulation of relevant transport policies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"18 7","pages":"Pages 562-575"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006468","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 study collected a detailed, extensive dataset comprising 25,640,666 records of real-world vehicle operating (speed, acceleration, etc.) and fuel consumption data alongside 124,938 hourly meteorological profiles (temperature, relative humidity, etc.). High-resolution fuel consumption rates (FCRs) based on ambient temperature were developed, and adjustment factors were introduced based on ambient temperature and vehicle specific power (VSP) binning. Fuel consumption factors (FCFs) were compared across different temperatures by incorporating VSP distributions and the adjusted FCRs, revealing larger FCFs at extreme temperatures compared to moderate ones. Fuel consumption inventories, both with and without temperature adjustments, were evaluated. The results indicated a 6% underestimation of annual fuel consumption in Beijing when disregarding temperature adjustments. The variation was observed across months (in July and August, underestimations can reach 11%) and across VSP bins (larger impact in low VSP bins). The relationship between FCR and ambient temperature is similar to a quadratic curve, with the lowest consumption occurring at 10 °C–20 °C. The FCF adjustment factor does not vary across speed intervals in cold weather and remains stable at approximately 1.15 at −10 °C, but it drops from 1.25 to 1 as speed increases from 5 to 100 km/h in hot weather. This study underscores the importance of considering ambient temperature in vehicle energy consumption modeling and the necessity of temperature-adjusted approaches for accurate fuel consumption estimations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47824,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Transportation","volume":"18 7","pages":"Pages 589-604"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142006397","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}

Children rated their school routes to be significantly safer than their parents did. Furthermore, we found evidence for differences with regard to specific aspects: For example, parents’ (but not children’s) safety perceptions are enhanced by a higher proportion of streets with reduced speed limits. Given that parents who feel the school route is unsafe are less likely to allow their child to travel to school alone, traffic calming measures appear one measure suitable to accommodate their concerns.

To improve accuracy for such stations, this study proposes a novel soft clustering algorithm for BSSs. The key idea is to allow stations to belong to multiple clusters, calculating the membership degree for each station based on transitions between stations and clusters obtained through hard clustering. This study also investigated the impact of restricting clusters to which individual stations belong based on distance or usage history. Two approaches, distance- and usage-based, were employed to determine the clusters to which each station belongs.
