Some scholars have identified evidence that supports the benefits of commuting, but research into this aspect is still relatively limited and does not make a strong connection with the body of works that view commuting as a stressor. This paper offers a more nuanced understanding of commuting by integrating these seemingly separate schools of thought. Drawing from the theoretical lens provided by the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory and research on rest and recovery, we develop and present the Pre-commute/In-commute/Post-commute (PIP) model of commuting, with six propositions. This model views each commute as unique and dynamically shaped by circumstances that occur both before and during the commute. Consequently, the events and experiences that take place after the commute are affected, influencing commuters’ state before their next commute, as well as having an enduring impact on individuals’ health and work-related outcomes. The PIP model also provides a fuller consideration of how individuals can shape the commuting experience through the In-Commute Activities (ICAs) they choose to do. Implications for research and practice are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":49419,"journal":{"name":"Transportation","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142643028","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 unlock their full potential, policymakers and service providers need to comprehend the wider implications of their strategies on the adoption, use, and profitability of these services. This paper investigates the implications on travel demand, use patterns, and business profit of two strategic decisions: the size of the fleet and the pricing of shared bikes and e-scooters. This research is based on an agent-based transport simulation framework and trip records of shared bike and e-scooter users from the city of Lyon, France. The results show that despite their actual marginal share, SMMS have a non-negligible growth potential in Lyon. This potential is unfulfilled due to sub-optimal pricing and fleet size strategies. In the paper, more optimal strategies are discussed from the point of view of service providers and customers. These findings can be generalized to other cities and shared micromobility services.

Previous studies mainly analyzed the two types separately, failing to provide a comparative and systematic investigation of shared dockless bike/e-bike systems in different cities. To fill this gap, this paper presents a multiscale geospatial network framework to analyze the differences between bike and e-bike usage patterns, taking five cities with different urban contexts in Zhejiang Province (China) as examples. We first organize the shared micro-mobility data into bike networks and e-bike networks. Then, we analyze these networks from the macro, meso, and micro scales by applying complex network analysis and data mining techniques. A series of visual graphs are designed to help understand latent patterns. The similarities and differences among the five cities in statistical information, visitation hotspots, micro-mobility network indicators, and community structures are clearly demonstrated.

Although polycentric urban morphology is viewed as a potential strategy for enhancing transportation carbon emission efficiency, its role remains contentious, and the effects of various dimensions of polycentricity have not been fully examined. This study investigates the spatiotemporal effects of polycentric urban morphology on transportation carbon emission efficiency. Analyzing per capita transportation carbon emissions (PTCEs) in 285 Chinese cities from 2000 to 2020, we quantified urban polycentricity across four dimensions: number of urban centers, distance between centers, sub-center importance, and compactness. We employed a geographically and temporally weighted regression model to assess how these dimensions influenced PTCEs over time and space. Our results reveal an overall increase in both PTCEs and polycentricity, with significant regional variations. Initially, the number of urban centers was negatively correlated with PTCEs, but this effect weakened over time. In contrast, greater distances between centers and higher compactness were associated with increased PTCEs, with these effects intensifying over time. The influence of sub-center importance on PTCEs followed an inverted U-shaped trend. Spatially, the number of centers correlated negatively with PTCEs, while sub-center importance correlated positively. The benefits of reduced distance between centers diminished from northeast to southwest China, and the impact of compactness on PTCEs varied, being positive in the east and negative in the west. These findings highlight the need for region-specific spatial policies to effectively enhance urban transportation carbon emission efficiency and develop low-carbon urban transportation systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":49419,"journal":{"name":"Transportation","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142594790","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}
