We also identified three properties differentiating algorithms used for spatial allocation of drone paths, i.e. tactical design factors: (i) input information types – i.e. static vs. dynamic; (ii) vehicle type – i.e. drone-only vs. drone-vehicle models; (iii) solution types - i.e. single solution vs multiple solutions.

However, accessibility evaluation is hampered by not having a comprehensive view on how accessibility is perceived by various population groups and how it impacts their choices given certain transport and land use configurations. Recently, studies have emerged attempting to measure perceived accessibility and understand its determinants and how it relates to various aspects such as travel behaviour and social inclusion using a variety of definitions and methods. In this paper, we review the empirical research on perceived accessibility, aiming to provide structure to future research on this topic. Based on 45 studies discussing perceived accessibility, we find that the concept is often ambiguously defined, and that measures lack robust validation regarding capturing the core aspects of accessibility and perception at the individual level. Moreover, results regarding the links between socioeconomic characteristics and perceived accessibility lack consistency and validity. The relationship between perceived accessibility and travel-related outcomes remains underexplored and requires further investigation, including indirect and bidirectional effects. Based on this literature review and earlier conceptualizations, we construct an empirical research framework that paves the way for future research by proposing relationships between perceived accessibility, calculated accessibility, travel behaviour, residential choice, as well as individual sociodemographic characteristics and attitudes. Understanding how various population groups perceive accessibility is essential for developing more accurate land use and transport measures that impact their behaviour and well-being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104212"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143677936","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}

Instead, bike-sharing usage by seniors was strongly positively associated with the commercial land and bike lanes. It also detected that male teenagers and young adults were less likely to be influenced by the public land than their female counterparts when using shared bikes. Shared bikes located in areas with dense male senior residents gained high usage by them; however, such phenomenon was not observed from their female counterparts.

This paper explores i) how e-bike ownership and use have changed over time in the Netherlands, ii) how e-bike ownership and use relate to different socio-economic and built environment determinants, and iii) how these relationships have changed over time. Ten binary multinomial logistic regression models are developed to analyze how various determinants affect e-bike ownership and e-bike use respectively, using eight years of travel data from the Dutch national mobility surveys (2014–2021). The results show that e-bike ownership and use in the Netherlands have experienced consistent growth over time. Throughout the study period, e-bikes are becoming more widely adopted across diverse socio-demographic groups, and the influence of household size, household income, age, gender and education on e-bike ownership and use is decreasing.
