We survey research on the impact of airport regulatory frameworks on technical, cost and allocative efficiency, addressing methodological challenges and identifying gaps for future study. We find that approaches such as total factor productivity, stochastic frontier analysis and data envelopment analysis are useful for assessing the effects of regulation, but many studies miss salient inputs and outputs, particularly in measuring capital. In second stage analyses, governance related variables, such as ownership structure, competition and regulatory design, are often overlooked. Most studies conclude that regulation improves airport efficiency, with dual-till price-caps and light-handed regulation being the more effective. However, light-handed regulation fails to reduce aeronautical charges and there is no consensus on which regulatory model achieves lower charges. Finally, allocative efficiency through peak pricing and slot trading remains unexplored.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"46 2","pages":"Pages 248-269"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147387531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relationship between transport and electoral politics is multifaceted. Voters influence transport indirectly through elected officials while direct democracy enables citizens to actively shape transport systems. Unlike most policy areas, transport policy also shapes electoral outcomes by affecting access to voting, suggesting potential feedback mechanisms. This paper presents a systematic literature review that explores the intersection of transport and electoral politics, guided by three questions: How does transport intersect with voting and elections? What recent themes emerge from the literature? What biases influence this research area? Analysing 163 peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2024, the study identifies four key types of transport and electoral politics research: (1) how transport systems enable or restrict voting; (2) how transport is included in election campaigns; (3) voting for transport; and, (4) how elections affect transport systems. The literature is primarily focused on cars and roads, developed countries, and local politics, with biases differing across the four key types of research. This review reveals significant gaps and underexplored areas, underscoring the need for more inclusive, diverse, and interdisciplinary research to better understand the complex, reciprocal relationship between transport and electoral politics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"46 2","pages":"Pages 173-195"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147387529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While few review studies focus specifically on drink or drug driving in rural areas, individual studies identify key factors associated with these behaviours in rural regions. Review studies can provide a synthesised understanding of rural risk, integrating single factors to offer a clearer picture of patterns of influence, including contrast with urban settings. We undertook a systematic search of research examining factors associated with drink and drug driving in rural areas. We searched databases of PubMed, PsycNet, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and TRID. We used a socioecological model as a framework to categorise, synthesis, and compare factors associated with drink and drug driving. We included 35 studies from 2010 to 2025 to identify factors associated with rural drink or drug driving. Studies used administrative datasets, surveys (typically with teens or young adults), and interviews with very specific samples. Analysis revealed factors associated with different socioecological layers, but with a relative absence of factors capturing connections between systems. Patterns of risk and protective factors showed multilayered dynamics shaping rural drink and drug driving, with heterogeneity evident both by substance type and across rural areas themselves. Thus, multiple interrelated factors likely need to be addressed for a safer road use experience. There is scope to continue to understand factors associated with drink and drug driving in rural areas. Opportunities exist to expand and use data linkage to better understand rural behaviour and help tailor approaches with a theory-guided framework to address identified risk and protective factors. Policy level factors may serve as key focal points for initiating change efforts. Further research is warranted to explore differences among various rural populations and the different substances used.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"46 2","pages":"Pages 196-222"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147387534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While a growing body of literature addresses legal and technical liability, the <em>communication</em> of liability – how legal, moral, or financial responsibility for adverse outcomes is conveyed among stakeholders such as manufacturers, users, insurers and policymakers – remains a critical gap. This multidisciplinary systematic literature review analyzes 90 academic articles published between 2015 and 2024 across a range of disciplines to map the current state of liability communication. Specifically, it examines how liability is communicated: who or what is held accountable for potential harms, under what conditions and through what mechanisms. We find that liability communication is often reactive, inconsistent and poorly aligned with public understanding. Despite the development of expert legal and technical frameworks, communication practices frequently fail to bridge the gap between expert discourse and end-user comprehension. The analysis is organised across five key themes: governance challenges; safety concerns; ownership models; cross-country comparisons; and future AV deployment. Across all five, communication failures are consistently linked to ambiguous terminology and the absence of proactive, standardised protocols. Together, these themes contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how liability is communicated within the evolving AV ecosystem. They also highlight an urgent need for updated policies and more effective, stakeholder-oriented communication strategies. In response, this study offers a necessary reframing of the problem – calling for the development of stakeholder-centric communication practices capable of functioning even amid legal uncertainty. Addressing these challenges is essential not only for effective AV integration but also for ensuring that this transformation unfolds safely and equitably.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"46 2","pages":"Pages 270-296"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147387530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cognitive and social factors influencing the performance of VTS operators require important considerations in this regard. Current developments in the maritime industry and changing operational profiles present novel challenges for VTS operators. This study aims to present the empirical findings related to the applied cognitive and social factors pertaining to VTS operations for the past two decades. A systematic literature review was conducted with a Boolean search strategy across six major databases. The literature associated with empirical investigations was extracted as per the PRISMA guidelines. The study identified 19 articles that satisfied the pre-determined inclusion criteria. A qualitative synthesis of the identified literature was performed, aggregating the findings into various sub-groups based on thematic areas and contexts. The obtained results revealed fatigue and mental workload as the most frequently examined factors, while factors such as decision-making, communication, coordination and perception also influenced the VTS operator’s performance. The findings shed light on the current state of the art for research and practical applications related to cognitive and social factors influencing VTS operator performance and their impact on maritime safety. The result also identified gaps in the literature where further research is warranted, particularly related to emerging trends of automation and digitalisation in the maritime industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"46 2","pages":"Pages 322-343"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147387528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 a complex process that requires interdisciplinary knowledge, including transportation, environment, and public health. Full-chain simulation is an important approach for forecasting freight planning outcomes. However, a systematic framework that integrates available models in full-chain and is specifically designed for the freight sector has not been developed. We review 36 empirical studies covering this interdisciplinary topic, and summarise the commonly used models. We find that EMission FACtor (EMFAC) and Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) models are commonly used to estimate freight vehicle emissions, with their outputs serving as inputs for air quality models, such as Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) or Intervention model for air pollution (InMAP). To estimate the health effects, concentration-response (C-R) functions, combined with static or dynamic demographic and socioeconomic data, are used to quantify the relationship between changes in pollutant concentrations and health outcomes. Then, disparity analysis relies on the assumption of age-specific C-R functions and examines statistical differences between demographic groups – including racial/ethnic groups, income levels, age groups, and other vulnerable communities.

The study systematically reviews 71 scholarly publications in highly ranked journals. The paper develops and proposes a conceptual framework that revolves around five factors that determine the environmental impact of omnichannel deliveries: freight transport, consumer travel, packaging, buildings and returns. Each of these factors needs to fulfil multiple requirements from LSPs, retailers and consumers. The review shows that the challenge of obtaining environmentally sustainable omnichannels is a multi-actor problem. It is clear that retailers and LSPs must adjust operations and strategies both separately and together, which adds complexity to the problem. The framework provides a comprehensive picture of which requirements LSPs and retailers must address to obtain environmentally sustainable omnichannels.

Experimental studies using driving simulators provide a safe and controlled method for examining the effects of these substances on driving performance.

This rapid review synthesises methodological considerations in experimental simulator studies published in the past five years, focusing on research design, participant selection, substance administration, simulated driving hardware, and outcome measures. Through systematic database searches, we identified 3,698 publications that assessed the effects of alcohol, cannabis, or their combination on simulated driving. Following full-text review, a total of 54 studies were deemed eligible for narrative synthesis. High quality research designs (within-subject crossover designs) were feasible but were not always used. Cannabis administration methods varied markedly across studies relative to alcohol and had important implications for factors such as administration timing. For alcohol, standardised and evidence-based protocols for placebo preparation were lacking. Driving simulators differed in fidelity, ranging from full-cab motion-based setups to PC-based systems with varying fields of view. The most commonly assessed driving performance measures were standard deviation of lane position (SDLP) and speed control. Additionally, few studies examined the combined effects of alcohol and cannabis, or accounted for factors such as cross-tolerance, individual differences in substance use history, or simulator sickness. This review highlights the need for standardisation in experimental simulator research on substance-impaired driving.
