Motivated by the operationalization gap between theory and planning practice, we develop a methodology to identify two levels of accessibility thresholds: Perceived Minimum Accessibility (PMA), representing basic access to essential destinations, and Perceived Sufficient Accessibility (PSA), representing convenient access. Using data from the nationwide Canadian Mobility Survey (<em>N</em> = 15,960), we analyse the relationship between perceived accessibility to grocery stores, healthcare, and leisure destinations by walking and public transit and the participants' corresponding calculated accessibility by public transit. We apply binned log-linear regressions combined with a quartile-based approach to identify region-specific PMA and PSA thresholds. We then assess threshold coverage for the general and low-income populations and map their spatial distribution across income groups. Finally, we examine how these thresholds relate to travel behaviour by estimating weekly walking and public transit mode share using region-specific weighted linear regressions and marginal effects analysis. Our findings reveal substantial regional variation. Large regions achieve broad coverage at the PMA level but require significant improvements to reach PSA levels. Mid-sized and smaller regions often struggle to meet PMA for most of their population, and PSA levels remain largely unattainable under current conditions. PMA levels yield only modest gains in sustainable mode share, whereas PSA levels are associated with considerably higher levels of walking and public transit use. By developing perception-based accessibility thresholds, this study provides a practical framework to support more equitable and sustainable transport and land-use planning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 104758"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148384401","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}

We propose a metric that estimates the timetable-induced travel time efficiency, i.e., how much travel time is actually spent moving, compared to the time lost to badly synchronized transfers, excessive dwell times or suboptimal routing of services. We analyze this metric for the connections between 31,616 stations throughout Europe towards 25 main transit hubs. This metric reaches an average of around 75%: by providing better and seamless connections between fast trains along major corridors, end-to-end travel times could be 25% faster than current schedules without any specific construction of faster infrastructure. We consider 169 infrastructure projects — many of which form part of the planned Trans-European Network (TEN-T) network completion by 2050. Once the expected travel time reductions stemming from those improvements are taken into account, we anticipate a combined timetable-induced travel time efficiency of 68% compared to today, representing a future expectation of one-third shorter travel times. A corridor analysis evaluates the travel time savings along the expected high-speed core TEN-T planned to be concluded by 2050, and estimates comparable values. This analysis provides quantitative support, at a network scale and based on real-life data, to the hypothesis that a better coordination of Europe’s various national railway systems is needed and can be similarly effective for long-distance passengers as much more costly infrastructure development. The biggest policy implication from those findings is the need for increase in international collaboration and harmonization of timetabling processes to exploit the underused potential.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 104750"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148384657","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, existing studies have predominantly focused on the integration of conventional bike-sharing with metro systems, leaving the role of EBS in enhancing metro connectivity insufficiently understood. Moreover, most existing studies adopt a station-centric perspective, implicitly assuming that first- and last-mile travel is shaped only by the built environment within station catchment areas. This perspective may be less applicable to EBS, whose longer travel range often extends beyond such catchment areas. To address these limitations, this study adopts an origin–destination (OD) perspective to examine how built environment characteristics at station areas and non-station trip ends, measured respectively at the station and grid levels, together with travel distance, jointly shape metro-integrated EBS usage. Using EBS trip data from Hefei, China, this study employs eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) combined with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to examine the nonlinear and interaction effects of these factors. The results show that metro-integrated EBS usage exhibits a clear commute-oriented pattern, with pronounced peaks during the morning and evening rush hours. Spatially, residential-related feeder trips, including morning access and evening egress, are concentrated in the northeastern part of the city, whereas workplace-related feeder trips, including morning egress and evening access, are more concentrated in the western and southern areas. Travel distance emerges as the most influential determinant across all feeder contexts. Station-level attributes are more important in residential-related contexts, whereas grid-level attributes are more important in workplace-related contexts. With respect to nonlinear effects, station-level built environment attributes exhibit broadly similar patterns across feeder contexts, whereas grid-level built environment effects show pronounced context-dependent variation between residential-related and workplace-related contexts. In addition, interaction analysis reveals a clear distance-attenuation pattern, with station-level built environment effects weakening as travel distance increases. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing EBS operations and designing context-sensitive built environment interventions to strengthen EBS–metro integration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 104740"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148289480","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}

A total of 1419 Chilean and Spanish university students self-reported their travel behaviours, and eight built environment features linked to more active and sustainable commuting were evaluated using the QGIS software. The main mode of travel was motorised transport, with significant differences by campus (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.001).

In Spain, the odds of using active commuting were more than 3.55 times higher at two campuses with higher activity-friendly compared to the campus with lower activity-friendly environment (both, p &lt; 0.001). Findings suggest that the built environment may be associated with sustainable commuting among university students in Chile and Spain.

Contrasting with the diamond structure of the OD network, the EDN exhibits a more hierarchical hub-spoke structure, where dominant flows form a polycentric radial pattern. By jointly considering outflow, inflow, and transit volumes, we observe clear spatial differentiation in city functions and classify cities into eight functional types. Community analysis further reveals substantial differences in internal structure and cross-community connectivity: high-volume communities tend to be more polycentric and better connected across communities, whereas low-volume communities show stronger local dependence.

This study demonstrates how temporal barriers at signalized crossings generate transport disadvantage, particularly for slower pedestrians, even in master-planned districts designed to be walkable. Using a detailed pedestrian network (19,733 nodes; 26,805 edges) in Songdo International Business District, South Korea, we model time-budgeted accessibility for three pedestrian personas, able-bodied adults (1.3 m/s), older adults (0.9 m/s), and mobility-impaired individuals (0.7 m/s), incorporating empirically grounded crossing delays derived from field observations at 40 signalized intersections. Accessibility is assessed for 5-, 10-, and 15-min walking budgets and analyzed using Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA) to diagnose structural fragmentation of walkable space. Results show that temporal delays consume 35–45% of mobility-impaired pedestrians' travel time at 5-min budgets, producing highly fragmented “archipelagos” of accessible areas. Compared to able-bodied adults, older adults experience 3.0 times higher structural fragmentation at 5 min, while mobility-impaired pedestrians depend on approximately 1.5 times as many bridge connections. MSPA reveals that slower pedestrians rely disproportionately on narrow bridge-like corridors while faster pedestrians achieve consolidated accessibility cores. A sensitivity analysis across six delay scenarios confirms that crossing delays are a direct lever for fragmentation: reducing wait times monotonically improved outcomes for vulnerable groups, while capping delays at 30s produced negligible change, indicating that cumulative moderate delays across the network, not outlier crossings, drive fragmentation. These findings demonstrate that temporal friction, rather than spatial distance alone, is a key driver of pedestrian inequity. The study establishes MSPA as a transferable diagnostic tool for equity-oriented pedestrian planning and time-sensitive assessments of goals such as planning for the 15-min city.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 104745"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148313344","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}

Dynamic medical accessibility is evaluated across four critical flooding stages: pre-disaster, peak flooding, initial recovery, and full recovery. Taking the “7·20” extreme rainstorm and flood disaster in Zhengzhou, China, as a case study, the results reveal that urban flooding substantially reduced overall medical accessibility, with the most severe impacts concentrated in central urban areas. Accessibility declines sharply during the peak flooding stage, while recovery trajectories exhibit pronounced spatial heterogeneity.
