Analyses of large samples of individual investment projects based on data in the so-called Flyvbjerg database have documented systematic construction cost overruns and first-year traffic demand shortfalls. They have interpreted these findings as being indicative of negative social welfare consequences of typical transport infrastructure investment projects, but that interpretation has been challenged on methodological grounds. The evidence base of ex post social cost–benefit analyses is growing and it, too, has challenged the suggestion that transport infrastructure projects destroy social welfare. Overall, it seems fair to conclude that our understanding of the project-level social welfare consequences of transport infrastructure is improving but remains far from conclusive. In contrast, aggregate-level quantitative meta-analyses provide robust results of a significant and positive relationship between transport infrastructure and economic activity at the level of regions or countries, especially in the long run and at higher levels of geographical aggregation. These aggregate-level results imply that project-level analyses should indeed consider the entire life cycle of projects, not just construction and the first year of operation, and that they should also acknowledge the presence of network effects as well as wider economic impacts – as difficult to measure and controversial as they are.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 4","pages":"Pages 459-481"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571352","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}

Analysing the perceptual-motor skills that support safely riding a vehicle and navigating the traffic environment has practical implications for improving educational programs, transport policies, and infrastructure and vehicle design. First, our critical review presents the state of art on experimental studies examining perceptual-motor skills in cycling. Experimental studies have often used cycling simulators or virtual reality lab settings leading to circumstances where perception and cognition are measured independent of action. Other experimental studies have examined perceptual-motor skills for controlling a vehicle but rarely used <em>in-situ</em> settings that sample real traffic contexts. Last, experimental studies have often investigated how individuals perform and behave to achieve the task-goal without considering the individual constraints, notably dynamic perception of body size and the action capabilities of the participants. Instead, we argue that current research would benefit from viewing cycling as a person-plus-object system, emphasising the mutual and reciprocal couplings between the individual, the vehicle and the environment. Anchored in ecological psychology, our review explores how an affordance-based control approach brings a novel perspective to study cycling by addressing how individuals attune to relevant information for action, grounded in and scaled to their action capabilities, and perceiving the opportunities for action offered by the environment (defined as “affordances”) to navigate dynamic traffic safely and effectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 4","pages":"Pages 557-572"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571267","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}

This paper provides a systematic literature review on the security experiences of LGBTQI+ public transport users and practice-ready recommendations for addressing LGBTQI-directed violence on public transport. Search criteria included security/safety, LGBTQI+, and public transport. The resulting 51 publications provide key findings across five themes, starting with a foundational understanding of LGBTQI-directed violence in public transport settings. Public transport characteristics provide additional context for LGBTQI+ people’s risk of violence. LGBTQI+ people’s perceptions of personal security and fear of violence inform the discussion of consequences to LGBTQI+ wellbeing and effects on mobility. Current practices and knowledge gaps help frame how public transport researchers and practitioners can create a more inclusive planning and design process for public transport operations that are safer and more secure for all users. In doing so, public transport becomes a key vehicle for challenging – rather than perpetuating – societal normalisation of violence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 4","pages":"Pages 605-641"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571264","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}

To support this, it is essential to have accurate models incorporating key factors driving both transport and non-transport cycling decisions. This paper presents a summary of factors influencing cycling and evaluates their integration into current cycling models. The review spans both cycling-specific models and large-scale transport planning models, examining how well they account for transport and non-transport cycling. The paper underscores the importance of including non-transport trips in models, yet the review highlights the limited number of studies that do so and the frequent lack of distinction between transport and non-transport cycling, despite the significant share of non-transport cycling in many regions. There is a gap between factors influencing cycling and those used in current models, particularly in incorporating individual attitudes, preferences, and motivations – which are especially influential in cycling. The study highlights the challenge of multicollinearity, where correlations between factors like infrastructure and land use make it difficult to isolate the individual effects of each variable on cycling behaviour. This paper calls for a shift towards collecting longitudinal cycling data and conducting before-and-after studies to better isolate the factors influencing cycling behaviour, which could significantly enhance the accuracy and applicability of cycling models in infrastructure planning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 3","pages":"Pages 413-432"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143843742","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 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.

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}

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.

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}
