Since 2024, large ships that stop at European Economic Area ports are subject to a carbon price under the EU's greenhouse gas emissions cap. To improve understanding about the goals and possible impacts of this EU policy expansion, the present article conducts a Scopus and Web of Science-based systematic literature review of peer-reviewed publications that assess the legal design or expected effects of EU maritime emissions trading. The relevant findings from 51 identified studies are categorized based on a framework of assessment criteria, which are systematically derived from the policy objectives outlined in the EU ETS Directive: emissions reductions, cost-effectiveness, economic efficiency, equity, and coherence. The aggregation of literature findings with a qualitative research synthesis provides a comprehensive up-to-date assessment of the maritime EU ETS, illuminating trade-offs between the pursued policy objectives and revealing gaps in existing knowledge. These findings suggest that the EU ETS can result in significant emissions reductions, at a lower overall cost compared to regulatory alternatives. It can also help to stimulate the adoption of technical and operational decarbonization solutions in maritime transport. However, uncertainties remain regarding the risk of carbon leakage, the uneven economic impacts of the EU ETS on certain countries, populations, and shipping segments, as well as its coherence with other domestic and international policies. This overview guides decision-makers in the first implementation stages of the maritime EU ETS and informs the design of similar market-based policies in other jurisdictions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"165 ","pages":"Pages 28-41"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143421003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a multidimensional fixed-effects model is proposed to assess the effectiveness of FSC using inspection data from both Paris MoU and Tokyo MoU from 2017 to 2022. By comparing the results with the White, Grey, and Black (WGB) lists from the Paris MoU and Tokyo MoU, it is evident that the evaluated FSC's effectiveness of flag states generally aligns with the WGB lists and offers a more comprehensive assessment than those lists alone. Also, this paper estimates the effects of various factors, such as ship type and defect type, on the number of ship deficiencies.

These systems aim to encourage changes in driving behavior and the choice of transportation mode. An example of a congestion pricing system is the Milan Area C charging zone, which operates on a fixed-rate basis. In recent years, two changes to the system have been introduced: (i) restrictions on the vehicle types allowed to enter the zone, and (ii) a 50 percent increase in the congestion charge. This study introduces a novel and replicable approach to evaluate the effectiveness of these policy changes, by studying the ratio of vehicles entering Area C to the total number of unique individuals within it, leveraging mobile phone data on user presence. Using fixed-effects models to control for unobserved heterogeneity across time, this study analyzes the impact of these two policy changes in the Area C congestion pricing system. The findings indicate that both policy changes influenced individuals’ choice of transportation mode, with vehicle type restrictions having a greater impact than price increases. This shows the effectiveness of the two types of measures, offering insights for policymakers on how to enhance congestion charging system effectiveness through refined pricing strategies and vehicle limitations. Additionally, demographic characteristics of users present in the area, as captured through mobile phone data, such as the proportion of women and elderly individuals, significantly influence transportation choices. Recognizing these factors is essential for policymakers, as it highlights the need for equitable policies that improve acceptance and effectiveness among vulnerable groups.

Despite DRT's advantages, challenges such as low market demand and utilization persist. To ensure DRT's successful integration and promotion, understanding public acceptance and its determinants is vital. This study expands the technology acceptance model (TAM) by incorporating trust, personal innovativeness, subjective norms, service quality, and perceived risk as pivotal factors influencing DRT acceptance. An online survey was conducted where a total of 627 valid responses were collected via snowball sampling. Structural equation modeling and path analysis were employed to dissect the factors influencing DRT adoption intentions. The results reveal that the proposed extended model accounts for 78.1% of the variance in DRT usage intentions. Trust exerts the most substantial influence on the usage intention of DRT, directly shaping user intentions and indirectly influencing them through various associated constructs. Service quality indirectly impacts intentions through perceived usefulness and personal innovativeness. Personal innovativeness and subjective norms have both direct and indirect impacts, whereas perceived risk solely indirectly affects intentions negatively. The research highlights the critical role of trust and service quality in shaping public DRT intentions and the importance of personal innovativeness and subjective norms in driving adoption. It also emphasizes the necessity of addressing perceived risk for acceptance.

By conducting interviews with 33 battery EV users in Utrecht, Netherlands, this research investigates individual concerns and opinions regarding V2G applications, focusing on potential battery degradation and its implications for daily EV use. The findings reveal a spectrum of concerns among users. Private EV owners who prioritize battery longevity frequently express apprehension about the potential for accelerated degradation associated with V2G usage. In contrast, users who have greater confidence in the technology are generally less concerned. Many participants highlighted the need for robust, evidence-based information on the impact of V2G on battery health before deciding to engage in such programs. EV daily usage and mobility patterns also play a role in this process, where those with high daily mileage or irregular driving patterns, are concerned about the potential impact on vehicle availability and performance.

Walking accessibility disparity or inequity among different age groups is further quantified using Gini coefficients and Theil indices. The comparative case study focuses on Kwun Tong, an old urban area, and Kai Tak, a new development area in Hong Kong. The results show that the new development area exhibits lower walking accessibility across all age groups and a higher level of inequity for young and middle-aged pedestrians compared to the old development area, while the inequity difference for the elderly is not significant. This disparity can be attributed to the concentration of POIs within a few business clusters and insufficient pedestrian facilities. Additionally, the elderly have the worst walking accessibility among the three age groups.

Through a comprehensive document review, we delineate the typical approaches to initiate ULS from the perspectives of government and consortia. Fifty-four factors characterizing the sponsors' visions, project startup prerequisites, and implementation barriers were identified. We conducted semi-structured interviews and a two-round Delphi survey with 18 experts to elucidate how these factors influence ULS adoption and explore causal relationships in new system front-end planning. Subsequently, a grounded-theory framework was constructed to interrelate multi-thematic concepts. Our research findings indicate several key points: (i) the gestation of ULS project is a collaborative effort between public and private sectors looking for shared visions and common interests; (ii) the unilateral promotion of emerging transport systems/modes could face diverse barriers and disadvantages due to the complexity, uncertainties, and lack of precedents; (iii) positioning ULS programs within a public-private partnership agreement fostered by incentive policies is crucial to achieving social, technological, and business preparedness for transformation.
