Our review identifies forecasting applications in the following areas: freight markets, newbuilding and second-hand ship markets, and ship-demolition markets. We review the evolution of the forecasting methods over time and distinguish six types of feature engineering (i.e. the process of preparing and transforming input data) that improve model generalisation performance (i.e. ability for the model to work outside training data) in the existing literature. We further discuss the improvement, input determination, evaluation metrics, and hyper-parameter optimisation of models. Our analysis shows that support vector regression and artificial neural networks are the commonly used techniques; Grid search and evolutionary optimisation are popular for hyperparameter optimisation in current research. Finally, we discuss the achievements and limitations of the existing literature. The survey concludes with the identification of existing gaps and recommendations for future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 6","pages":"Pages 897-923"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145371138","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 association between MW behind the wheel and road safety suggests the importance of outlining an overview of such a phenomenon and its related factors. This study aimed to systematically review the available evidence on driving-related factors associated with MW behind the wheel. A systematic search of databases from public health, psychology, and transport safety (Web Of Science and Scopus) was conducted on September 28th 2024. PRISMA guidelines were followed. Thirty-four articles met the eligibility criteria. Four articles focused on (a) vehicle-related factors, namely adaptive driving-assisted technology (ADAS). One article focused on (b) environmental factors, namely weather conditions. Twenty-four articles focused on (c) human factors, with the following subtopics: perceptual load and familiarity with the environment, personality traits, and socio-demographic factors. Five articles focused on (d) behavioral consequences and MVC risk. The studies' main findings identified more research on the human factor, and less on vehicle-related, environmental, and behavioral consequences factors. The main results suggest that: susceptibility to MW is linked to individual characteristics and driving conditions with low perceptual load, specific weather conditions can reduce the frequency of MW due to an increased perceptual load on the driver, ADAS (Level 2) tends to promote the onset of MW, and finally, MW is associated with a deterioration in driving performance, including slower reaction times and deviations from the correct roadway path. The implementation of preventive measures might be explored, including educational interventions tailored to driver-related characteristics to raise awareness of MW risks and promote attentive driving behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 6","pages":"Pages 948-969"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145371134","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 examines how community responses to these accessibility challenges are shaped by policy agendas and conditions. Conceptually, it builds on the notion of “commoning accessibility” (CA), which has recently been coined to account for the various ways in which communities mobilise and organise themselves to (re)claim accessibility as a common good. CA practices include community transport and shared mobility schemes, as well as collective efforts to create and maintain place-based social, cultural and care amenities such as a shops, cafés, neighbourhood centres, or healthcare facilities. This paper further advances the theorisation of “commoning accessibility” by critically situating these practices as part of wider assemblages of governance and changing configurations of the welfare state. To that end, we have conducted a systematic literature review that maps how CA practices are shaped by policy agendas and conditions, thereby focusing explicitly on peri-urban, suburban and rural areas across Europe. Based on our findings we present an analytical framework that distinguishes between commoning as a process and accessibility as an objective. We show that policy shapes both the conditions under which people unite, mobilise and organise themselves, and the way in which accessibility is articulated, translated and pursued as an objective. Moreover, our literature review reveals that these diverse policy factors cannot be reduced to mere legislative changes or administrative and institutional realities but also relate to policymaking as an exercise in agenda-setting. Unravelling this complex relationship between CA practices and policy is an important step towards understanding when and under which circumstances these practices can play a transformative role in meeting accessibility challenges in peripheral areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 5","pages":"Pages 749-775"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145271015","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}

We develop a conceptual framework, the <em>EV charging capabilities (EVCC) framework</em>, grounded on the social justice perspective of the capabilities approach, to illustrate the determinants and impacts of charging access, considering both transport and energy contexts. We conducted a literature review to inform the development of this framework. While previous literature extensively studied the impact of charging access on EV adoption, we further explore the effects on users’ travel behaviour, activity scheduling, and accrual of energy-related assets. By shifting the viewpoint of charging access from spatial infrastructure distribution to the provision of capabilities, we can identify the roles of financial capacity, personal conditions, social roles and relationships, physical environment, and wider structural conditions on charging disadvantage and its consequences. The EVCC framework can be applied as a tool to systematically identify users vulnerable to charging disadvantage and to guide the analysis of EV charging policies and practices. Using the same literature review, we demonstrate one of these applications by identifying highly vulnerable groups and providing recommendations to address their vulnerability. We underscore the need for EV charging infrastructure planning and deployment that is user-centred and captures activity and energy access, rather than solely relying on physical proximity to facilitate a just electric mobility transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 5","pages":"Pages 696-725"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145271034","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}

Future research should take time to explore adolescents’ travel behaviour, particularly in their travels to other destinations except for school, outside peak commuting periods and on weekends.
