At first glance, the term “car dependence” may seem self-explanatory, generally referring to a reliance on cars. However, on closer inspection, car dependence is a complex and elusive concept. This paper seeks to critically and comprehensively deconstruct the concept of car dependence. Specifically, it examines the extent to which the literature has engaged with the “dependence” aspect of car dependence, and how this engagement has shaped our understanding of the term. The review revealed a spectrum of approaches. These ranged from a minimal engagement – where car dependence is simply equated with car use – to more comprehensive analyses that explore how dependence is produced and reproduced at the levels of land use, households, practices, and is perpetuated through policy decisions. The paper proposes four key issues that deserve further exploration and advocates for a “back to basics’, focusing on the concept of “dependence” itself and examining it in greater depth. By doing so, we can uncover new and exciting research avenues. It also prompts us to consider the underlying rationale: are we aiming merely to reduce car use, or are we seeking to genuinely challenge the car’s hegemony, its dominance, and its role at both societal and political levels?</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 2","pages":"Pages 282-300"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143549456","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}

Research has shown that the causes of truck crashes have economic roots, including high levels of competition creating economic pressure that could increase the likelihood of carriers reducing safety investments and adopting payment practices that encourage truck drivers to drive faster and longer than legally required. With a large body of research on safety policies and payment practices in the heavy trucking industry, there is a strong need to comprehensively understand the relationships between economic pressure in terms of truck company financial performance and driver compensation, and safety outcomes and the factors influencing the relationships. This paper presents a systematic review of the literature to address this important gap in the literature. The review identified 43 English-language articles published between 1988 and 2024. There is a general consensus in these articles that paying truck drivers based on the amount of work performed is associated with poorer safety outcomes than paying them based on the amount of time worked. In contrast, higher pay levels and payments for non-driving tasks positively influence safety outcomes. Regarding truck company financial performance, most of the studies reported a positive influence on safety outcomes.

Our synthesis highlights the significant roles at individual, family, community, and structural levels in accessing and utilising travel modes. It emphasises the important role of parents in determining adolescents’ access to travel modes, noting that a safe environment is a primary concern leading to parental supervision, often through private vehicles. Our review also reveals adaptive strategies among certain adolescents, such as girls walking in groups to socialise and avoid unsafe situations, older adolescents accessing travel modes that offer independence and affordability, and persuasive efforts by younger adolescents leading parents to permit unauthorised private vehicle use. To address these dynamic issues within developing countries, we outline strategies from the literature to ensure a safe environment involving multiple stakeholders while considering variations based on local contexts, such as ideologies related to specific modes.

Nonetheless, the concept is not well defined and lacks a clear framework regarding its determinants and mechanisms, which also leads to problems in terms of its operationalisation. Therefore, this paper proposes a conceptualisation and operationalisation of car dependence, which can serve as a basis for further research and policy. We define car dependence as the extent to which an individual is incapable to participate in location-based activities without a car in a satisfactory way. This definition is based on the theoretical background of the capabilities approach and the concept of motility and also linked to the concept of accessibility. Our conceptual model consists of seven components, most of which have been considered separately in previous conceptualisations, namely the land use system, transport system, natural environment, temporal component, social environment, and individual objective/subjective characteristics. These components range from being external to the individual (e.g. the land use system) to internal (e.g. individual features). Considering these components jointly emphasises the importance of looking at car dependence in a holistic, unifying way. This approach contributes to a better understanding of car dependence that goes beyond the explicit analysis of components in previous research. In addition, we provide a systematic approach to operationalising car dependence that contributes to a more comparable approach to measuring car dependence. Researchers have to decide whether they want to examine car dependence via its components or via self-report by individuals, whether they want to study the full set of components or only a subset, and whether they want to consider perceptions or factual information about external components. Therefore, our conceptualisation and operationalisation provide valuable new insights into car dependence regarding new research directions and policy approaches.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 2","pages":"Pages 173-193"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143549455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This realisation is accompanied by an increased promotion of the research on bicyclists’ behaviour to plan bicycle-friendly road infrastructure effectively. Some of the commonly used methods of data collection in this research include surveys and interviews, which help in capturing the cyclists’ perceptions and conscious behaviour. However, these data collection methods are susceptible to reporting and hypothetical biases. Hence, recent studies have started exploring the use of physiological measures, such as the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), as the objective measures of cyclists’ subconscious behaviour. The GSR potentially captures the perceived stress of the cyclists and can be easily recorded using sensor-based wearables. For the processing and analysis of the data thus collected, it is necessary to identify the appropriate statistical tools. Previous studies have discussed the merits, demerits, scope, and limitations of using GSR in urban cyclists’ behaviour analysis at length. However, methodological advancements expected in future studies in this domain need a comprehensive understanding of the currently used statistical methods and tools to build upon. This review facilitates them by providing an overview of these methods and tools, and by categorising existing studies based on their purpose (Methodological Exploration or Stimuli Response Analysis), methodological approach (Inductive or Deductive), method of data processing (splitting GSR signal, counting GSR peaks, measuring GSR peaks, taking Log of GSR, or curve fitting), and method of data analysis (map matching, descriptive analysis, hypothesis testing or Generalized Linear Modelling). The review further concludes that future studies need to find the correct balance between the granularity of GSR data to be preserved (given higher granularity ensures a higher level of detail in the analysis) and the resource consumption owing to its procedural and computational complexity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 2","pages":"Pages 216-238"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143550186","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}

Recognising the significance of school travel, this study addresses this gap. Through an overview of existing literature, it discusses the importance of school bikeability and sheds light on its specific differences from general accessibility and bikeability, and identifies a set of indicators for measuring it. These indicators, categorised into four domains – Cycling Infrastructure, Connectivity and urbanisation, Safety, and Surrounding environment, can be further utilised to assess school bikeability in any given area. The results of such an assessment can be effectively used to guide investments and policies aimed at establishing safe and secure cycling routes to and from schools.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 1","pages":"Pages 49-76"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143176340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept, which has hardly been applied in practice, poses significant requirements for the involved stakeholders and their interactions. However, there has been limited research on how stakeholder dynamics should be shaped and adapted compared to the conventional hinterland transport stakeholder dynamics to facilitate synchromodal transport. Our study fills this gap by presenting an overview of the stakeholders that should be involved in synchromodality, their decision-making responsibilities and relations (referred to as stakeholder dynamics), illustrated in a conceptual synchromodal stakeholder network. Then, this network is compared to the conventional port-hinterland transport stakeholder network, which is the transport chain in which synchromodality is likely to be applied. To this end, this paper analyses and integrates literature on three topics: synchromodality, stakeholder dynamics in the port-hinterland transport chain and stakeholder theory. Our analysis reveals that facilitating synchromodal transport necessitates adaptations such as the inclusion of additional stakeholder roles, the delegation of decision-making power, and the evolution towards collaborative relationships. However, examining these requirements through the lens of stakeholder theory exposes significant complexities, such as an increased risk of opportunism, thereby giving rise to the formulation of an extensive future research agenda. The findings were tested against industry experts’ views in a workshop and focus group. This analysis should enhance the understanding of synchromodal stakeholder dynamics and its challenges from a stakeholder theory perspective, contributing to further developing dynamic stakeholder management strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 1","pages":"Pages 1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143176364","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}
