Three representative transportation technologies–<em>electronic toll collection systems</em>, <em>ride-sharing platforms and fully autonomous vehicles</em>–are compared. Data were collected using a questionnaire administered to 524 participants. The findings revealed that, while these technologies allowed consumers’ significant freedom perception, they also introduced new dependencies, invoking a perception of enslavement. Surprisingly, the induced learning tensions showed a positive relationship with technology adoption, which suggests that the challenges encountered during the learning process can enhance user engagement and acceptance. Furthermore, the study emphasised how perceptions of freedom and enslavement evolve with technological advancement in different transportation contexts, indicating their complex interplay with technology adoption intention. The findings enhance our understanding of the technological paradox theory and elucidate the dual role of learning tensions.

To achieve these objectives, the total credits issued are typically set below actual travel demand, thereby encouraging a mode shift from private cars to more sustainable alternatives, as well as promoting trip avoidance or postponement. A central aspect of TCS is, therefore, determining how credits are allocated to individuals—and, specifically, whether all users should receive the same credit budget. However, the literature offers limited research on the strategies, central elements, and user preferences related to the initial credit allocation. In this paper, we review the building blocks of the initial credit allocation in Tradable Mobility Credit Schemes, namely: (a) the eligible receivers, (b) the credit measurement unit, (c) the validity period and transferability of credits, and (d) the allocation method itself. Additionally, we present empirical findings on public support for non-uniform credit allocation strategies and preferences regarding credit compensation for various individual attributes. Our survey results show that approximately 70% of respondents endorse the non-uniform allocation of credits. Support was particularly high among individuals with limited public transport accessibility, lower incomes, and women. Besides, respondents identified mobility impairment, care work responsibilities, and poor public transport accessibility as the most critical factors that should influence the credit budget an individual receives. This paper provides policymakers with an overview of initial credit allocation strategies and practical insights to enhance public acceptance of TCS designs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"164 ","pages":"Pages 118-129"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143142652","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}

To inform this new policy development, this research focuses on analyzing the content of 26 recent curb management policies from American and Canadian municipalities. Specifically questioning to what extent the policies: <em>identify the range of potential uses of the curb; recognize the competing interests; and/or acknowledge the dynamic nature of demand for curb space?</em> We find that policies are rethinking the use of the curb beyond parking and are clearly seeking to manage demand for: urban freight, ride-hailing, and transit. Despite these policy innovations, there are opportunities to improve considerations for: bicycle accommodation; outdoor dining; mobility challenges; emergency services; utilities, and equity and inclusion among curb. Our research findings are limited to the analysis of existing curb management policies in America and Canada. Further research could explore how policies are operationalized, how streets are reconfigured, and how other similar municipal policies relate to curb management.

To address this issue, this study focuses on the generation of heavy-duty truck trips and explores its spatial heterogeneity, which is of particular interest to multiple stakeholders seeking fine-grained freight traffic management. We used continuous trajectory data to extract heavy-duty truck trips and integrated multiple data sources to identify the driving factors behind urban heavy-duty truck trip generation. Results from statistical models revealed that the density of industrial, transshipping, and warehousing enterprises, along with freight hub accessibility, are influential factors in determining heavy-duty truck trip generation. Furthermore, we compared and analyzed heavy-duty truck trip generation intensity across different geographical zones and discovered that the generation intensity was unevenly distributed across space. We also found that the impact of resource processing and large logistics enterprise density on heavy-duty truck trip generation is spatially heterogeneous, with a weaker influence on producing and attracting heavy-duty truck trips in the urban core area. These findings can help local authorities in formulating fine-grained freight traffic management policies based on the freight trip generation mechanism to avoid imposing excessive burdens on logistics enterprises. This work also contributes to the development of sustainable urban freight service systems and help address the potential environmental and social issues arising from heavy-duty freight activities in suburban areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"164 ","pages":"Pages 60-79"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143143224","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}

These revenues depend on the demand for aeronautical services, as they are intricately tied to passenger traffic. Consequently, airports have intensified efforts to boost air traffic, a challenging task given the mobility of footloose airlines. This competitive environment compels airports to adopt strategic measures with competitive pricing emerging as a critical approach in the capital-intensive airport industry. This study examines the dynamic relationships between airlines and airports, focusing on their respective bargaining positions and financial gains they extract. Using a two-tier stochastic frontier (2TSF) analysis on data for 59 U.S. airports during the 2009–2019 period, this study quantifies the gap between optimal and actual aeronautical charges while identifying determinants of bargaining power such as low-cost carrier (LCC) dominance, legacy airline hub status, proximity to competing airports, airline concentration, percentage of local passengers, and rate setting methods. Results indicate that airlines hold stronger bargaining positions with financial gains 8.4% higher than those of airports, which leads to aeronautical charges being set below optimal levels. Medium-sized airports achieve relatively higher gains compared to large airports, and airports within multi-airport systems (MAS) enjoy a greater bargaining advantage. In contrast, rival airports within a 100-mile radius reduce an individual airport's bargaining leverage, highlighting the competitive pressures faced by U.S. airports despite their public ownership. Socio-economic factors, such as tourism and foreign direct investment (FDI), significantly increase airport fees by enhancing the value of their services to airlines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"164 ","pages":"Pages 80-91"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143143227","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 explore how the interaction mechanisms between the two parties affect ride-sharing operations and thereby the efficiency and resilience of ride-hailing systems, this paper employs queuing theory and multi-agent approaches to build models for extensive analysis, and verifies these with actual data from Beijing. The results show that the WDT mechanism can adaptively adjust passenger choices and system operating modes in response to supply and demand changes, maintaining high efficiency and resilience of ride-sharing services during supply shortages. However, there exists a competitive equilibrium point between platform regulation and the WDT mechanism, where adjusting the route similarity standard before and after this point affects the adaptability of the WDT mechanism differently. Based on these findings, recommendations are made from the perspectives of platform operation and government management, aiming to seize the optimal moments to encourage ride-sharing, balance individual comfort with overall system performance, and optimize platform regulation effectiveness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48378,"journal":{"name":"Transport Policy","volume":"164 ","pages":"Pages 27-41"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143143183","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}
