To gain deeper insights into the network's evolutionary characteristics under these disruptions, this study constructs fine-grained global container shipping networks on both monthly and weekly time scales, based on AIS trajectory data spanning 2019 to 2022 and supplemented by static port attributes. By computing metrics including node strength and centrality, and visualizing changes in port node strength worldwide, we analyze the network's dynamic evolution under the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia–Ukraine conflict, and the Suez Canal blockage. The results reveal that the network exhibits small-world and scale-free characteristics, with a few key ports maintaining core positions despite the disruptions. During the early stages of the pandemic, the average node strength dropped by approximately 45 %, reflecting the network's vulnerability. However, it quickly rebounded to about 91.6 % in the short term, demonstrating the network's notable recovery capacity. The Russia–Ukraine conflict significantly affected several ports and related routes in the Black Sea region, but its impact on global major hubs was relatively limited. In contrast, the Suez Canal blockage caused severe short-term disturbances to the network structure, yet the network largely recovered within two weeks. Based on these findings, we further propose differentiated policy recommendations for port authorities and shipping operators, offering empirical support and practical governance insights to enhance the responsiveness and recovery capacity of the shipping network under various types of disruptions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 104415"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145103957","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 address this gap, we comparatively assess the effects of temperature on shared bike and shared e-bike usage. Based on two-way fixed effects panel regression models estimated using 36.2 million trip records from New York City's Citi Bike system in 2023, our results show that the temperature-induced usage losses are 5.6 and 7.7 percentage points smaller for shared e-bikes than shared bikes during hot (30–32 °C) and cold (−2–0 °C) temperatures, respectively, reflecting a higher climate resilience for the former than the latter to temperature extremes. However, when temperatures are lower than −2 °C, the resilience advantages of shared e-bikes are weakened. Furthermore, the temperature effects on shared e-bikes and shared bikes exhibit spatial and temporal heterogeneities, with short-duration, short-distance, and weekday trips presenting higher temperature resilience at both hot and cold temperatures. Under hot temperatures, areas with lower median household income showcase higher temperature resilience.

In this paper, we find that this re-centralization does in fact seem to be occurring, but in a more complicated pattern than before. Warehousing is still decentralizing in logistical hubs and cities in the shadow of those hubs but is re-concentrating in other, smaller metropolitan areas that serve as local and regional logistics centers.

At the same time, cycling as a low-carbon and non-motorized transportation mode, is sensitive to the geometric attribute of physical border, which is ignored in the current models. This research proposes a Particle Swarm-Additive Border Effect Model (PSO-ABEM) to measure the additive barriers effect of physical borders on cycling behaviours considering borders' geometric attributes. The case study in Longgang, Shenzhen exhibits the high interpretability of the proposed PSO-ABEM. The result indicates the average additive 14.3 % cycling resistance for each additional physical border, as well as the geometry-sensitive impact of physical borders on cycling travel. The findings also reveal the non-linear or U-like shape effects of physical borders on cycling behaviours: medium-distance trips have the thinnest border thickness, short-distance trips have the medium one, and the long-distance trips have the thickest thickness.

Using Melbourne, Australia, as the study area, this study examined measurement resolution error across various spatial resolutions, public transport service levels, opportunity densities, types of accessibility measures and time thresholds. Results reveal that while the errors are generally small, their magnitude is highly context dependent. Smaller time thresholds, lower service levels, opportunity density that leads to lower accessibility values, and more complex accessibility measures all increase sensitivity to this error. Suburban areas with sparsely populated mixed land use that are served with modest public transport services are the most vulnerable to measurement resolution error, creating significant transport equity implications. The study recommends the use of data at resolutions that can reflect land use information for general public transport accessibility analysis, while building-level resolution data should be selectively applied if analysis objectives warrant such granularity.

The findings further implied a nuanced relationship between online service usage and its potential impact on equity-deserving groups and sustainable transportation behaviour of Scarborough residents.

By simultaneously optimizing network topology and spatial attributes, this method captures more realistic network community partitioning and spatial interaction structures within these networks. Key findings show stark structural differences: diesel truck networks form hierarchical “core-periphery” structures dominated by peripheral hubs, where expanding community size increases low-degree nodes and fragments connectivity. Electric truck networks, in contrast, form non-hierarchical, highly interconnected spatial clusters that directly integrate industrial, commercial, and residential zones, maintaining robust connectivity across large communities and reducing delivery path lengths.

Port container shuttles in Europe are often marginal due to insufficient distances, short trains and import-dominated flows. The case study of a successful intermodal terminal in Sweden shows how various strategies can secure outbound full flows: an empty depot to provide containers for exporters and save the cost of sending empties to the port; dedicated rail-connected warehousing to provide containerisation of export flows that are then sent full to the port; balancing road haulage from terminal to warehouse with secondary distribution from warehouse to stores. On the sustainability side, this model has enabled the introduction of electric trucks because the company manages their own trucking and charging provision at the intermodal terminal, warehouse and stores. The conclusion of this study is that this success is only possible if all of these activities (rail shuttle, intermodal terminal, warehousing and haulage) are integrated within a single operator who is able to obtain these synergies both in long-term planning and in operations and revenue management. Thus, for increased modal share of intermodal transport as desired by policy makers, we need to favour such strategies of integration based on a model of terminal-centric logistics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 104386"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144933366","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}
