There are important equity considerations when some areas cannot access potentially life-saving medical services. For emergency healthcare which is time-sensitive, it is necessary to consider both the quality and extent of the coverage. Most past research in this area focused on maximizing coverage or survival by identifying better locations or offering better treatments. In this work, we compare how traditional and novel service delivery strategies affect both spatial and population coverage. This comparison highlights improvements in the quality and extent of that coverage.</div><div>The rendezvous strategy improves service coverage by allowing a patient to meet up with a healthcare resource or team in an intermediate location. Because the success of the treatment is time sensitive, we use an impedance function to measure the quality of accessibility. Choosing initial resource locations influences patient survival rates, which vary by location. The approach is applied to an emerging treatment for cardiac arrest where scarce resources/personnel should be optimally allocated to maximise the benefit to patients. The results are quantified and mapped in order to support discussion of the spatial equity of the coverage.</div><div>The coverage area significantly increases under the rendezvous strategy compared to a traditional delivery model. By maximizing survival rather than simply coverage, we identify facility location combinations that improve patient outcomes.

This research focuses on the integrated assessment of transit coverage status by combining accessibility and connectivity measures based on smart transit card big data within the x-minute city framework. Using smart transit card big data from Beijing, this study employs an enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method to calculate the accessibility of transit points, such as bus stops and metro stations, within three common x-minute city travel time thresholds (i.e., 5, 10, and 15-min). The accessibility measures are weighted by passenger volume derived from the smart transit card big data. Additionally, transit connectivity is evaluated using a matrix-based approach based on the real-world multi-modal transit network. By integrating both transit accessibility and connectivity, a composite transit index is developed using a modified z-score framework to assess the transit service status of different areas in Beijing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104189"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143610838","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}

However, to date, most related research has been conducted after the QTR was built, and there is a lack of evidence of the effect of its construction on wildlife. By comparing ungulate survey data along the QTH between 2001 and 2020, an increase in the migration number of Tibetan antelope in the region from around 2000 to 4000 was observed, despite a rise in traffic on the highway from approximately 1000 to 2000 vehicles per day. The average number of kiangs in each survey along the QTH increased from 18 to 32, and the average number of Tibetan gazelle increased from 14 to 16. The herd sizes of Tibetan antelope, Tibetan gazelle, and kiangs during the construction of the QTR were significantly larger than those after the construction of the QTR. After the construction of the QTR, the number of ungulates along the QTH was negatively correlated with the traffic volume, but positively correlated with the distance between the QTH and the QTR. By comparing the distributions of ungulates before and after QTR construction, it was also found that the number of ungulates decreased in areas where the QTH and QTR were close, but increased where the QTH and QTR were further apart. This suggests that the close proximity of the two linear infrastructures can have a cumulative negative effect on ungulate numbers. These findings provide a reference for the future construction and planning of linear infrastructures on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104188"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143601107","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}

This research investigated the impediments faced by women in the public transportation system of Lahore, Pakistan. The study explores mobility using a mixed method of interviews with transport officials, visual analysis of bus stops and a questionnaire survey. A total of 624 women aged 15–29 were inquired about the accessibility, safety and affordability of public transport. The interviews with the Punjab Mass Transit Authority and Punjab Transport Company revealed the absence of gender-specific planning, route information and women safety parameters in buses. The bus stop analysis has further highlighted overcrowding, encroachment, inadequate lighting and poor maintenance. These physical barriers affect women's mobility and contribute to the gender gap in Lahore's transportation system. The results of the questionnaire analysis indicated that 31 % perceived feeder routes as the most accessible mode, while 77 % were unaware of bus routes. Ninety-nine percent did not prefer using public transport at night due to significant safety concerns. 62 % found public transport time-consuming though 33 % agreed it was very economical. 57 % expressed dissatisfaction with public transport facilities in Lahore owing to safety issues and the unavailability of connected bus routes. Moreover, multi-regression and analysis of variance tests highlighted safety as the strongest predictor of satisfaction that impacts mobility. This study emphasises the need for improved infrastructure at bus stops, updated route information, and enhanced safety measures. These recommendations promote gender equality and enhance women's mobility in Lahore's public transport system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104187"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143578631","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}

Using empirical data from Tianjin, China, the spatiotemporal patterns of potential shared parking demand are analyzed. The research results indicate that approximately 70 % of nighttime shortages in residential areas can be addressed through shared parking resources provided by surrounding buildings. Additionally, this study explores the nonlinear relationship between the built environment and shared parking demand, providing a quantitative analysis. Explainable machine learning techniques reveal that the built environment factors have obvious nonlinear effects and threshold effects on demand for shared parking. The important thresholds that significantly affect the demand for shared parking vary across different built environment factors. The identification of these threshold values can be beneficial for providing tailored policy to integrate existing parking facilities into shared parking, aligning with varying resource availability and residential area demands.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104186"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143578630","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}

By using a mobile methodology, we interviewed 17 docked bike-sharing users in Barcelona to explore how infrastructure and spatial dimensions shape riders' experiences. Our findings reveal that traffic safety - modulated by cycling infrastructure and network connectivity- strongly influences how users of shared bicycles perceive urban spaces. Furthermore, participants reported that features specific to shared bicycles, such as their design and maintenance, notably shaped their riding experiences. Beyond the act of cycling itself, our analysis highlights the importance of often-overlooked stages, such as the bike pick-up and return processes, in shaping users' overall experiences. These moments present logistical and accessibility challenges that could limit the consolidation and expansion of bike-sharing schemes.

This highlights inequities where crowded transport systems diminish service quality. The interviews also show that high PT fares, before the introduction of the €58 “Deutschlandticket,” had been a major barrier, forcing individuals to choose between transport and other essential needs like food and housing. This financial constraint limits mobility, employment, and social interaction. The study’s integration of GIS analysis and personal interviews provides a comprehensive view of transport poverty, capturing both systemic issues and individual coping strategies. The findings suggest a typology of seven mobility types among low-income residents, offering policymakers a framework for targeted interventions.
