Hence, commute distances and modes of travel usage are closely linked with the level of transport sustainability of a city. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant change in commute patterns – the length and frequency of commute trips and the usage rate of public transport in particular. To ensure the long-term sustainability of transport in a world faced with the persistent threat of potential pandemics, it is crucial to understand these changes. This paper empirically examines how the residential locations and commute patterns of a segment of subway commuters in Beijing changed during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Passively generated smart card data from 8,792,539 subway users were used to quantify the relative impact of different factors contributing to these changes. The results indicate a notable trend of residential relocation towards the city centre that is opposite to the trend of moving away from city centres observed in some other countries. Further, it is observed that the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for individuals with long commute times (over 45 min) to reconsider their locations, aiming to reduce commuting time. Consequently, such relocations lead to an average commute time reduction. The findings contribute to advancing existing knowledge related to the long-term mobility and sustainability implications of the pandemic, some of which are expected to be transferable to future pandemic contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100964"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142699691","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 study examines the effects of driver behavior on the safety performance of RLCs (within a 150-meter radius) in New South Wales, Australia. Historical databases on crashes, train operations, and inventory for RLCs were integrated. Also, vehicle movement raw data, including acceleration, deceleration, G-force, and speed, were extracted using the connected vehicle data. Then, the driver’s harsh braking and stiff steering events were identified. A random effect Hurdle Poisson model was adopted to account for the excessive zeros and unobserved heterogeneity. We identified risk factors affecting the likelihood and number of crashes at RLCs across two severity levels. Results of the non-injury crashes suggested that street, active control types, harsh braking, and stiff steering were associated with a higher likelihood of zero crash observations, while train frequency showed the opposite effect. It was also revealed that multiple tracks contributed to the increase in the number of non-injury crashes. Interestingly, after crossing the hurdle, harsh braking at RLC is associated with more non-injury crashes. As for the injury crashes, active control and stiff steering were associated with a higher likelihood of observing zeros. Nevertheless, once crossed the hurdle, intersecting with a highway, having multiple rail tracks and harsh braking events show increasing effects on the frequency of injury crashes. The findings of this study emphasize the need for targeted driver education programs and a larger-scale implementation of active control measures. It is hoped that these actionable insights can assist policymakers in prioritizing safety interventions at RLCs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100957"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142684354","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}

However, its operational and safety aspects have not been extensively investigated in the literature. Following this purpose, we developed a novel methodology that aims at evaluating priority areas for shared micromobility system users’ accident risk mitigation based on predicted injury severity using a machine learning-based approach. The methodology proposed in this paper consists of two models: a predictive model, which is based on an artificial neural network with a pattern recognition algorithm, to estimate the expected safety indicator of an urban zone, and a clustering method to define the priority areas for intervention through the application of a geofence speed regulation system. A real case study was carried out in the city of Bari, Italy, to test the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The results showed how it is possible to define areas for intervention with different priorities based on the expected severity index. The proposed methodology can be seen as a decision support system to assist transport operators and urban planners in regulating shared micromobility vehicles in urban areas by defining priority areas for intervention through geofencing and, therefore, it can be useful for improving micromobility adoption, road safety, and urban mobility policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100962"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142684356","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}

Americans heavily rely on their cars for daily travel due to the benefits of access, convenience, comfort, and autonomy that private vehicle travel offers. However, the potential negative implications of high rates of car ownership and use for wellbeing, sustainability, and social equity have sparked the interest of many scholars. We contribute to these lines of inquiry by examining whether and if so, how car dependence relates to people’s satisfaction with life. Our data come from a national survey with a representative sample (n = 2,155) of U.S. adults living in urban and suburban areas. Using descriptive statistics and multivariate regression models, we find that there is a threshold effect of car dependence on life satisfaction. Our results show that beyond a certain point, increases in car dependence yield a decrease in people’s satisfaction with life. For instance, we find that, in a typical week, relying on a car for more than 50 percent of the time for out-of-home activities is associated with a decrease in life satisfaction. These findings suggest that planners and decision-makers should promote multimodality and land use patterns that may help to reduce car dependence and its potential negative effect on subjective wellbeing (SWB).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100954"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142684358","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 investigate these dynamics, the current study employs a stated preference (SP) survey to elucidate the factors influencing pedestrian crossing decisions at two-stage signalized crossings.
