This study introduces a framework that combines GIS-based spatial analysis and multi-objective optimization to evaluate SAEV fleet performance during power outages. Using Montreal as a testbed, we simulate the operations of a mid-sized SAEV fleet under varying power disruption scenarios. Our analysis reveals a critical operational trade-off: the fleet can meet up to 2% of daily mobility demand or supply 28% of energy needs in affected zones, but not simultaneously. The sensitivity analyses indicate that improving charging infrastructure yields greater operational benefits than increasing battery capacity. Further, revenue from energy provision increases significantly with larger fleets and higher charger power. The findings underscore the importance of coordinated infrastructure planning and incentive design to enable SAEVs to effectively support transport continuity and urban energy resilience.","PeriodicalId":501714,"journal":{"name":"npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport","volume":"3 1","pages":"13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12909116/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146222586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research addresses two key gaps: (i) understanding how fragmentation costs such as longer detours for travellers, decreased driver income, and increased vehicle kilometres travelled (VKT) vary with market features and user attributes, and (ii) exploring conditions under which fragmented markets sustain. To this end, we propose an agent-based model accounting for day-to-day processes and within-day dynamics in markets with service providers offering private or shared rides. Amsterdam-based experiments reveal that two platforms can co-exist when ride-pooling is offered by just one of them, driven by differences in target demographics, or by both, due to negative network effects from detouring under limited demand. Fragmentation of the ride-pooling market yields 6.4% additional VKT. When both platforms offer (only) private rides, co-existence is feasible when a fraction of travellers and/or potential drivers engages in multi-homing.","PeriodicalId":501714,"journal":{"name":"npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport","volume":"3 1","pages":"8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12864024/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146121751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on addressing this limitation by introducing a strategic modelling approach that incorporates BEB rotation as a decision variable into an integrated planning optimization model. The proposed model jointly determines the optimal bus-to-route assignments, charging infrastructure siting and sizing, battery capacities, and charging schedules while accounting for electricity real-time pricing (RTP) rates, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions charges, and battery degradation. Results of a real-world transit network demonstrate that enabling BEB rotation in the planning phase reduces total system costs by 37.88%, with a 12.18% reduction in capital costs and a 59.42% reduction in operational costs. Sensitivity analyses are conducted to validate the proposed model, highlighting the influence of varying key parameters, including energy consumption, infrastructure costs, charging power, electricity RTP rates, and GHG emissions charges on the optimized outcomes.","PeriodicalId":501714,"journal":{"name":"npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport","volume":"3 1","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12827050/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146055851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is limited consensus on how shifts from conventional travel modes to WSB will unfold. Existing AST research has examined determinants of walking and cycling, but relatively little attention has been given to WSB and similar emerging modes. This study addresses this gap by developing the Intended Mode Choice Adoption (IMCA) framework to examine the combined effects of behavioural, contextual, and socio-demographic factors on parental intentions. Survey data from 192 parents in Bradford, UK, were analysed. Results indicate that perceived behavioural control and subjective norms toward WSB, attitudes toward active travel, and satisfaction with existing travel arrangements are key determinants of parental intention to switch to WSB. These factors are influenced by distance, escorting patterns, household, and parental attributes. The findings highlight the importance of integrating behavioural constructs across both conventional and emerging modes.","PeriodicalId":501714,"journal":{"name":"npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport","volume":"3 1","pages":"58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13538049/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148890082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With rising EV adoption rates, firms face increasing regulatory pressure to build up workplace charging facilities for their employees. However, the impact of EV charging loads on businesses' specific electricity consumption profiles remains largely unknown. Our study addresses this challenge by presenting a mathematical optimisation model, available via an open-source web application, that empowers business executives to manage energy consumption effectively, enabling them to assess peak loads, charging costs and carbon emissions specific to their power profiles and employee needs. Using real-world data from a global car manufacturer in South East England, UK, we demonstrate that smart charging strategies can reduce peak loads by 28% and decrease charging costs and emissions by 9% compared to convenience charging. Our methodology is widely applicable across industries and geographies, offering data-driven insights for planning EV workplace charging infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":501714,"journal":{"name":"npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport","volume":"2 1","pages":"11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11913721/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
