However, OSM network data lack operating traffic speed information, which is critical for transport planning and operations. Addressing this shortcoming, this study leverages commercial vendor data (to serve as ground truth) with exogenous, open-source variables characterizing local transport infrastructure, land use, and demographic information to predict average congested traffic speeds on OSM networks. Three machine-learning models were tested and estimated for OSM links with and without speed limit information in the Denver metropolitan region. Among these, XGBoost performed best, with mean absolute errors of 3.27 and 3.62 mph for links with and without speed limits, respectively. The developed models accurately predicted traffic speeds for different hours and days of the week compared to ground truth data. Using these predicted speeds, drive accessibility scores were computed for the Denver region for different time periods using the Mobility Energy Productivity (MEP) metric to understand the impact of congestion on energy-efficient accessibility. Results show that congestion-adjusted drive accessibility can be significantly lower compared to accessibility calculated using free flow speeds. Specifically, weekday evening hours saw a 42 % drop in accessibility due to reduced speeds, particularly around downtown Denver. Across the Denver metro region, approximately half as many opportunities and jobs are accessible in under 20 min by car during the evening peak period relative to free flow conditions. These findings underscore the importance of using congestion-adjusted operating speeds rather than speed limits in accessibility calculations, as reliance on speed limits can substantially overestimate energy-efficient drive accessibility in large, car-centric cities susceptible to significant congestion. The methodology presented here could further enrich OSM network data, making them useful for an even broader range of transportation applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 104096"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142874479","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 a matched dataset comprising 16,571 gird cells, each measuring 1 × 1 km in size, and information on newly registered service enterprises in Beijing from 2007 to 2018, we employ a mult-period difference-in-difference (DID) estimation methodology, leveraging exogenous shocks from the opening of new subway lines, to examine the causal relationship between subway openings and the location decision of service enterprises. Our findings indicate that the subway network positively influences the establishment of service enterprises, with a 53.8 % increase in newly registered service enterprises following the opening of a new subway line. Furthermore, the agglomeration effects of subway network are more salient for newly registered producer service enterprises, which tend to cluster in central areas, whereas consumer service enterprises demonstrate a preference for agglomeration in the city's periphery, thereby contributing to the reconfiguration of the city's urban structure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 104082"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142790024","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}

The method calculates the cost of carbon emission reductions in each province using the non-radial directional distance function (NDDF). We constructed a three-dimensional spatial (SEE) transportation carbon quota allocation model grounded in Stability, Equity, and Efficiency, aimed at facilitating scenario analysis up to 2030.

We utilize a quasi-experimental approach with matching techniques and hedonic models to track down the changes in the sales price of residential properties over time within an 800-m buffer of bicycle facilities. We found a mixed impact of property value appreciation, depreciation, and no change in the sales price by different types of bicycle infrastructure including on-street and off-street facilities on single-family and multifamily residential properties across the 11 cities. Single-family and multifamily properties near off-street-only facilities experienced appreciation in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Cleveland. Meanwhile, single-family homes near on-street-only facilities tended to decrease their values in Columbus, Eugene, Philadelphia, and Tucson, and increase only in Minneapolis. All properties within 800 m of both on-street and off-street facilities saw their values increase in Columbus and Minneapolis.

This review identified 292 papers across 37 different countries that have conducted participant-based research into e-micromobility, to understand how gender was reported and analysed in the samples used in the studies. This identified that half of all papers reviewed had a male majority sample, while only 15 % had an equal split of male and female participants. 45 % of the studies (<em>n</em> = 133) reported gender differences, suggesting that gender does impact on e-micromobility use, with considerably more data on male users compared to female users. There was also a lack of reporting on non-binary gender data. With the application of gender factors that have been previously established in the transport domain, this review paper also identifies gender data gaps in areas such as care related journeys, encumbered travel and ergonomic design. The importance in accounting for the role of gender in the development of policy targeting e-micromobility is also presented from the findings of the review.

Existing studies have made great efforts to explain the influencing mechanism, but a perspective based on the gender difference has not been fully explored before. Moreover, research on causality in long-time commuting has been limited. This study aims to address these gaps by using 2019 Household Travel Survey data from Shanghai, combined with census and land use data at the sub-district level. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and causal model are used to explore gender differences in long-time commuting behavior, as well as the causal effects of individual occupations, family stages, and spatial types on these differences. Our results confirm that gender differences in long-time commuting are significant at individual, family, and spatial levels. The analysis indicates that high-income white-collar workers have a positive causal effect on the choice of long-time commuting among commuters, although this effect is smaller for women. The impact of different family life cycles on long-time commuting among women varies significantly, with the formation and expansion stages showing negative impacts, and stabilizing into a positive impact during the stability stage. The findings at the spatial level further indicate that women's disadvantaged position in urban spatial competition may increase their likelihood of engaging in long-time commuting to obtain appropriate employment opportunities. These findings demonstrate the gender differences in long-time commuting across different levels, highlighting the importance of inclusive and comprehensive job-housing balance policies for promoting gender equality and reducing long-time commuting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48413,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transport Geography","volume":"123 ","pages":"Article 104133"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143146524","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}
