Among these, last-mile delivery professionals face heightened risks due to their continuous presence on urban streets and their frequent exposure to hazardous driving conditions. This study investigated the safe driving behaviour of professional drivers in last-mile delivery services in Greece. To achieve this goal, a stated preference survey was conducted with a sample of 100 riders aged 18–65 years and the key factors influencing crash severity were explored. A multinomial logit regression model was employed to examine the relationships between various factors and the likelihood of minor and major crashes. Crashes were classified into three categories: no crash, minor crashes and major crashes, based on their severity over the past two years. The results revealed that delivery experience, driving habits, demographic characteristics and the use of safety equipment significantly influenced crash severity. Longer driving license periods and extended daily travel distances were associated with increased crash risk. Frequent mobile phone use emerged as a significant predictor of minor crashes, underscoring the necessity for stricter distracted driving regulations. The study emphasized the protective role of safety equipment, though gaps in its consistent usage remain. This research provides valuable evidence to guide policy-making and develop tailored interventions to enhance road safety for last-mile delivery professionals, addressing key vulnerabilities in this growing sector.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"114 ","pages":"Pages 246-269"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144240830","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}

However, beyond the dominant narrative of automobility as inherently flexible, to what extent is this flexibility observable in actual travel behavior? This study examines spatial and scheduling regularities in travel behaviors across three user typologies based on car dependency: exclusive car users, moderate car users, and mixed-mode users. Regularity is assessed through location choices and degrees of scheduling freedom. Using multi-day GPS tracking data from the Swiss-wide MOBIS study, we apply a graph-based approach to analyze both spatial and scheduling patterns. Our findings challenge the assumption that car users exhibit greater unpredictability. Instead, mobility regularity persists across modal groups: regular users remain regular, and irregular users remain irregular, regardless of car dependence. Intensive car users do not demonstrate greater locational innovation, while mixed-mode users exhibit more habitual spatial behaviors than exclusive or moderate car users. Moreover, pricing and nudging interventions had limited impact, reinforcing the persistence of established mobility patterns. These results contribute to research on habitual mobility and modal choice, showing that car use does not inherently enable more flexible travel. Rather, the perceived flexibility of automobility appears more ideological than behavioral, sustained by dominant transport narratives rather than observed mobility patterns. These findings suggest that shifting mobility behaviors requires more than financial incentives – calling for integrated policies that also reshape cultural narratives around accessibility and car use.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"114 ","pages":"Pages 230-245"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144230674","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 aim of this study was to investigate free-choice NDRAs as a potential countermeasure against driver fatigue. For this purpose, 78 participants took part in a driving simulator experiment with a 2x2 mixed design. The participants drove manually before and after CAD to compare the impact of driver fatigue on driving performance. During CAD, the participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: with vs. without an NDRA. The participants of the first condition were allowed to engage in NDRAs after reaching a 7 on the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) during CAD. Driver fatigue, takeover performance, and driving performance were assessed. The results revealed that driver fatigue was significantly lower during CAD in the group with an NDRA than without. However, the NDRA had no significant effect on driving performance (i.e., distance headway, time-to-collision, standard deviation of lateral position) in the second manual drive. Driver fatigue resulted in significantly worse driving performance in the second drive. The results showed that an NDRA only impacted driver fatigue during CAD, not manual driving performance afterwards.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"114 ","pages":"Pages 216-229"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144220928","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}
