The aim of the trial, located in the University of Warwick campus, was to introduce and test new mobility services and interventions and investigate the extent to which these initiatives – collectively forming a mobility hub ecosystem − can encourage a shift from private car use to sustainable transport modes. During the trial, several new services and technologies were introduced, including e-scooters, demand responsive transport, cycle hire, and a smartphone application that was used for nudge messaging and rewards for sustainable travel. This paper presents the results from our qualitative interviews with staff and students at the University of Warwick. The interviews explored participants’ adoption and perceptions of the new mobility services as well as their current travel choices (inside and beyond the campus) and barriers to sustainable transport modes. The interviews, analysed using a data-driven thematic analysis, highlight six distinctive and diverse themes related to factors affecting the potential for travel behaviour change, namely: <em>a) cost of travel; b) scheduling and flexibility; c) pro-sustainability attitudes and perception of sustainable travel; d) awareness and norms; e) availability of services and amenities; f) journey experience, health and safety.</em> Significant barriers to the uptake of the mobility hub services were identified, including <em>low awareness of the new transport services</em>, <em>habitual choices of car users</em>, <em>lack of infrastructure for active travel</em>, and <em>lack of transport alternatives</em> outside of the trial area and the zone where the new services operated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"112 ","pages":"Pages 274-289"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143859227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do this, 50 VR cycling studies from 2020 to 2024 were reviewed, examining their study design and methodological considerations, technological setup and apparatuses, and data collection and evaluation techniques. From this analysis, it was found that there are many inconsistencies in the design and execution of VR cycling studies, including number of trials (range from 1 to 54), time in VR, participant sample sizes (range from 1 to 208), processes for calibration and validation, and data collection and evaluation techniques. The current lack of consistency within the field of VR cycling research presents a significant challenge, since changes in the methodological framework can influence the results and insights obtained. Even in recent years, conflicting results have been reported in the literature, and either no supporting evidence or conflicting evidence was found in this review for some commonly held beliefs about VR cycling research. In the future, studies are needed to investigate how the identified inconsistencies affect study results to move towards a more rigorous methodological framework for cycling simulator research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"112 ","pages":"Pages 256-273"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143859418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using tailored, realistic street-level images, we assessed a wide range of variables, including the built environment, traffic conditions, and pedestrian infrastructure. Additionally, we collected data on users’ socio-demographic characteristics and travel behavior to understand their perceived experiences. Subsequently, we adopted a multivariate analysis to examine the relationships between street-related variables, participants’ travel behavior, socio-demographic factors, and their perceptions of crash exposure risk and severe injury risk, while also accounting for comfort perception. The results indicate that pedestrians face the highest perceived risks from crash exposure on roadways without sidewalks, risky motorized two-wheelers (MTW) riding in walking spaces, and unmanaged trash in walking areas. Conversely, wide walking spaces and MTW parking on the roadside on narrow streets are associated with increased perceived safety from crash exposure and severe injury risk. Pedestrian overpasses and zebra crossings significantly enhance perceived pedestrian safety, reducing exposure risks and the likelihood of severe crashes.

Vigilance decrement can pose a significant challenge under Level 2 driving automation, where drivers are relieved of active vehicle control but must still continuously monitor the system. This study aims to evaluate the dynamic changes in vigilance during prolonged automated driving using multimodal data. A simulated driving experiment was conducted in which participants drove in either manual or automated mode while responding to randomly presented traffic sign targets. Subjective vigilance ratings, target detection performance, and physiological signals, including eye movements, electroencephalogram (EEG), and electrocardiogram (ECG), were recorded and analyzed. The results revealed that the first significant vigilance decrement in automated mode occurred around 15 min into driving, with a second decrement occurring between 25 and 40 min. In contrast, the first significant vigilance decrement in manual driving was observed after 25 to 40 min of driving, later than in automated driving. Additionally, vigilance decrement was more pronounced in automated driving, as evidenced by lower subjective vigilance ratings, reduced fixation counts, and increased EEG wave powers. Through cross-validation of multimodal metrics, this study demonstrates that vigilance decrement occurs earlier and to a greater extent in automated driving compared to manual driving. These findings provide a valuable theoretical foundation for developing intervention strategies to enhance driver vigilance and contribute to the overall improvement in driving safety.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"112 ","pages":"Pages 207-220"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143839081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Driving Anger Scale (DAS), the Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI), and the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) were administered to 678 drivers (mean age = 36.87 years; 46.17 % men).

Importantly, the relationship between anger and the propensity to drive riskily and aggressively was moderated by the driver’s ability to regulate their emotions. Our results suggest that drivers with stronger emotion regulation skills are less likely to engage in dangerous driving, as they can effectively manage the anger elicited by certain road events.

Despite extensive research on the short-term effects of automated driving systems, there is limited understanding of the long-term usage and the adaptation processes involved. This work addresses this gap through a systematic literature review focused on the effects of repeated or prolonged exposure to automated driving systems. In particular, the review aims to clarify definitions and theoretical constructs related to the long-term usage of driving systems, to provide recommendations for the methodological design of studies investigating learning and adaptation processes, and to synthesize existing findings on the effects of repeated exposure. A comprehensive literature research adhering to the PRISMA guidelines resulted in the review of 96 articles. The review emphasizes that other influencing factors, such as the sequence and quality of experienced events, play a crucial role in driver adaptation rather than the mere duration of exposure. Finally, a conceptual model of driver adaptation is developed, distinguishing between learning processes and temporary state adjustments and serving as a basis for exploring and comprehending the mechanisms and dynamics of such processes. This model highlights the need for future studies to adopt a more nuanced approach to “long-term” exposure, considering intermission periods and the influence of system capabilities, limits, and failures on the development of mental models.
