Based on user-generated EBS data of one week in three consecutive years between 2020 and 2022 in two small Chinese cities (i.e., Yuhuan and Rui'an), this paper aims to quantify trip-specific carbon emissions and then investigate the spatiotemporal dynamic changes of carbon emission reduction patterns. Results show that EBS reduced 29.50 and 49.12 t of carbon emissions over three weeks from 2020 to 2022 in Yuhuan and Rui'an, respectively. Over 95 % of the reduced carbon emissions are from substituting driving trips. The trip-level environmental benefit of EBS in Yuhuan is 306.29–382.64 g of CO₂, higher than that in Rui'an (172.21–177.07 g). Carbon reduction patterns are temporally similar to typical travel patterns and show strong spatial auto-correlation. There are more carbon emission reductions in leisure-related places on weekends and education-related places on weekdays.

Although data from bicycle sharing systems (BSS) have become increasingly accessible, round-trip travel remains underexamined compared to one-way or last-mile commuting trips. This study addresses that gap by investigating round-trip usage in Seoul's BSS, which adopts a low-cost, flat-rate fare structure that encourages short-distance trips. Using a Bayesian Gaussian Mixture Model (BGMM) on 347,252 GPS trajectories from round trips, we identified visited points of interest (POIs). We then analyzed travel characteristics and POI visitation patterns across three neighborhood contexts: home-based, work-based, and river-based. Round trips accounted for 11 % of BSS usage but showed longer durations (40.35 min vs. 22.47 for one-way trips) and distinct time peaks around midday and evening. POI visit patterns varied by context: 73.8 % of round trips in river-based areas led to open spaces, while home-based neighborhoods saw more visits to daily life services and education. Work-based areas had higher visitation to food-and-beverage and business facilities. A micro-scale cluster analysis revealed more dispersed POIs near river-based stations, and more concentrated ones near home- and work-based stations. These findings underscore the versatility of shared bicycles as a standalone mode of transportation beyond commuting. By clarifying how visit patterns vary by neighborhood type, this study provides actionable insights for BSS operations and urban planning, including station placement and rebalancing strategies tailored to local travel needs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 104366"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144696646","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}

Our review classified research trends into five method types: NPM (Node-Place Model), extended NPM, mixed NPM, validated NPM, and visually supported NPM. Major methodological gaps shared across these types include (1) indicator assignment to dimensions such as node, place, and walkability, and (2) the variation arising from spatial scopes. Subsequent empirical comparisons provide the following results and implications for future studies: First, exploratory-derived factors were more detailed than the heuristic dimensions, indicating the potential for nuanced classification, while the overall patterns partially validated the existing frameworks. This finding suggests that the distinguishing between transit accessibility measures and transit network performance, including modal differences, can function as an alternative station assessment. Second, spatial scope must be carefully considered in TOD typologies, which is supported by the detailed results at the city scale, in contrast to the cohesive representation at the metropolitan scale. Third, the internal correlations among indicators defined under walkability or functionality support the validity of the literature, yet underscore the need for exploring indicator-level relationships.

This study use a large-scale multinational survey of over 17,400 respondents from 30 European countries to examine crosscountry differences in the adoption of e-mobility options, including electric bikes (EB) and electric vehicles (EV). To our knowledge, this is the first cross-country study to examine both EB and EV adoption simultaneously. We address a significant gap in the literature by examining the influence of three distinct types of norms (injunctive, descriptive, and personal norms) on e-mobility adoption, an area previously unexplored in a single study. Additionally, our research uniquely investigates the impact of various lifestyle factors, including low-meat diets, pro-environment consumption lifestyle, and tech-savvy lifestyle, on the adoption of e-mobility technologies. Furthermore, we analyze how mobility needs, reflected by factors like driving distance, affect the adoption of EBs and EVs. This study is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of these elements, considering both cross-country variations and urban-rural differences within diverse European contexts. Utilizing Generalized Structural Equation Modelling, we control for socio-demographic, attitudinal, and mobility needs-related factors to offer a nuanced understanding of e-mobility adoption patterns. Our analysis reveals significant regional variations in the impact of norms on e-mobility adoption: norms are more influential in promoting EB adoption in Northern and Western Europe, whereas they play a more substantial role in EV adoption in Eastern Europe. Additionally, our findings highlight the importance of lifestyle factors, with a meat-reduced diet and techsavviness lifestyle positively affecting both EB and EV adoption across most European regions, while a pro-environment consumption lifestyle is associated with reduced EB adoption, particularly in Nordic countries. The study further underscores urban-rural differences, noting that shorter travel distances and better infrastructure in urban areas may facilitate e-mobility adoption, whereas rural areas face unique challenges. These findings provide critical insights into the diverse drivers of e-mobility adoption across different European regions and settings, underscoring the need for tailored strategies to promote sustainable mobility solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 104362"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144665702","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, ensuring travel safety for non-motorists remains a significant challenge. Existing risk assessments of non-motorist safety issues primarily focus on objectively measured traffic conditions (e.g., land use, road width, and the presence of sidewalks), while overlooking individuals' perceptions of the built environment. In this paper, we explore how the perceived built environment can impact traffic crashes involving non-motorists by employing Google Street View (GSV) data. Specifically, we have quantified six perceptual attributes (i.e., beautiful, boring, depressing, lively, safe, and wealthy) around non-motorist crash locations using GSV images and machine learning models trained by the MIT Place Pulse 2.0 dataset. Negative binomial regression models are developed to examine the associations between these perceptual attributes and a nine-year non-motorist traffic crash dataset in Hartford, Connecticut. We also apply different buffer sizes to test the sensitivity of the associations, revealing the buffer size that is the most relevant to travel safety. Our results indicate that the perceived beauty, safety, and wealthiness of the built environment are negatively associated with non-motorist crash risk, whereas the perceived liveliness, depression, and boredom of the environment have positive correlations. The findings can shed insights into the mechanistic intersection of environmental perceptions and traffic crashes involving non-motorists. By incorporating the perceptual dimensions into crash analysis, stakeholders in the planning and transportation sectors can develop targeted, street-level interventions to enhance road safety.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 104363"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144662147","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}

Accessibility of food in particular serves as a critical indicator of quality of life and is therefore influencing daily life in diverse ways. In geographic retail research, empirical methods as well as modeling techniques are of great importance for the analysis and evaluation of accessibility and market areas. Firstly, this paper introduces an econometric choice-based flow and catchment model for assessing the accessibility of grocery stores. Secondly, acknowledging that spatial perceptions of food supply can vary significantly among individuals, the study compares modeled accessibility with perceived accessibility using data from a household survey. A total of 2300 individuals from the Mainfranken region in Germany were surveyed regarding their grocery shopping habits. Three central questions were posed regarding satisfaction with and effort required for food access to evaluate perceived accessibility. The comparison of modeled accessibility with perceived accessibility highlights the complexity of perception, revealing that it is shaped by various factors. For instance, some residents of areas with objectively good accessibility rated their supply situation as poor, while those in less accessible areas often expressed higher satisfaction. This study contributes two key insights: First, it introduces a novel, comprehensive approach to accessibility that considers both the supplier and consumer perspectives based on actual shopping behavior. Second, it demonstrates that perceived accessibility is shaped by individual characteristics and is strongly influenced by lifestyle, personal resilience and daily routines. In particular, highly mobile individuals and population groups exhibit greater resilience and are more willing to travel longer distances to meet their needs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 104367"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144653762","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}

Detailed geographical research needs commuting flow matrices at a local scale, and sample surveys cannot provide Census-like granular datasets. Declining Census data availability has stimulated growing interest in ‘big’ data, and data from mobile phones in particular. This paper provides a case study of using mobile phone data as a proxy for Census commuting data to define labour market areas. The case study is of Spain and exemplifies issues that can arise in any transport geography research using mobile phone data. The paper first itemises numerous ‘mismatches’ between such data and most Census commuting datasets. A critical problem for commuting studies is that many mobile owners/users are not workers, but commercial and confidentiality concerns prevent the release of metadata, and so non-workers cannot be excluded from this form of ‘commuting’ data. In this work we demonstrate a method to filter out most non-working flows to better approximate actual commuting flows.
