One particularly problematic area is that of urban signalised intersections, which are responsible for a majority of the crashes involving cyclists. One reason is the increased complexity at such locations. The bike box has been hailed as an infrastructure measure to help increase the safety and visibility of cyclists at intersections, most importantly by reducing the risk of blind spot conflicts. Results on the safety benefits are, however, inconclusive. For the bike box to have the desired safety benefits, it is important that cyclists use it as intended. The study presented here uses observations and questionnaire data collected in the Netherlands and Sweden to better understand the use of the bike box. We find that cyclists going straight ahead do not use the bike box as intended, standing to the right-hand side of the cars. Cyclists turning left do use the bike box as intended, but are less common in all the observed locations. This suggests that the bike box can have a positive effect, but the most common users do not position themselves as intended and still risk being involved in blind spot conflicts. Furthermore, this dual use of the bike box can be misinterpreted by drivers, who expect to see cyclists in front, ignoring their presence on the right-hand side. These results can help inform the actual effectiveness of the bike box in increasing the safety of cyclists at signalised intersections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 101144"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145157782","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 primary objective of this research is to investigate the influence of the built environment on speeding behavior, as an indicator of road safety performance, using the city of Curitiba, Brazil, as the study’s setting. The built environment comprises physical features within the city, such as development patterns and roadway designs, and can be categorized into six groups: density, diversity, design, destination accessibility, distance to transit, and demographics. The Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) statistical model was employed to explore the correlation between built environment variables and the occurrence of speeding in a spatially nonstationary scenario. Additionally, Moran’s <em>I</em> and Local Moran statistical methods were applied to investigate the spatial autocorrelation of speeding within the city. Data on speeding and location were collected through the application of a Naturalistic Driving Study. The measure of speeding was based on free-flow situations, considering the opportunity in which drivers could speed. In this study, the database included 1002 trips, 381.45 h of driving, and 9,443.83 km of travel within Curitiba and its metropolitan area from 2019 to 2021. The GWR model was applied using Curitiba’s traffic analysis zones (TAZs) as the zonal level. GWR reduced residual spatial autocorrelation relative to the global linear model; however, the global model achieved a lower AICc. Only the variable “proportion of arterial roads” showed a statistically significant correlation with speeding at a 95 % confidence level, with an inverse correlation observed across 100 % of the TAZs. Furthermore, it was observed that speeding behavior in Curitiba exhibits spatial autocorrelation, justifying the use of the GWR model. Low-Low and High-High spatial clusters were identified, with statistically significant differences observed between them, including average income, density of commercial and service units, density of intersections, density of speed cameras, and traffic signal density. The characteristics of arterial roads in Curitiba, including infrastructure and traffic control, may be influencing the reduction of speeding behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 101126"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145157783","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 investigates these factors within the context of the United Kingdom’s disability community, accounting for about 24% of the total population. Using a multi-engagement approach, including 8 focus groups with 51 participants, we examined the preferences and adoption patterns for 8 new mobility modes among people with diverse disabilities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Focusing on the impact of attitudinal barriers stemming from participation accessibility, the study explores how these barriers influence the willingness of people with disabilities to adopt and use emerging technologies in transport.

However, despite the increasing interest, research on alternative factors influencing user loyalty—such as gamification—remains limited. Loyalty in public transportation is a crucial aspect for understanding the sustainability of urban transportation systems, given the high dependence of the community on these services and their impact on reducing traffic congestion and pollution. Previous studies have generally focused on factors such as price, comfort, and other performance factors, while this research expands the scope by analyzing the role of psychological factors and gamification factors in influencing loyalty, thereby providing a more holistic perspective. This research investigates the influence of gamification on public transport loyalty intentions by integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with concepts from gamification in transportation. Data were collected from the Jakarta Metropolitan Area through online and offline surveys, yielding 1,030 valid responses. This study employs three structural equation models: SEM Partial Least Squares (PLS), SEM Ordinal, and SEM Covariance-Based (CB). The results of all models are compared for hypothesis testing. Findings reveal that gamification has a significant influence on loyalty intentions to use public transportation, both directly and indirectly, through the mediating role of TPB constructs—attitude, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control. These results highlight the potential of gamification as an effective complementary strategy for fostering long-term user commitment to public transportation, providing policymakers and service providers with valuable insights for enhancing user engagement and sustainability in public transport systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 101136"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145093981","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 emergence of autonomous vehicles presents a promising prospect for a new and potentially more efficient delivery mode. Upon completing passenger drop-off at their destinations, autonomous vehicles face the challenge of finding parking spaces or cruising in proximity while waiting for the next call, escalating the pressure on parking and traffic. Integrating idle autonomous vehicles into crowdshipping, however, provides an effective means to optimize resources, reduce the dependence on parking infrastructure, and generate revenue for car owners. In this study, we aim to analyze and understand the behavior and decision-making mechanism of autonomous vehicle owners regarding the adoption of crowdshipping.

However, the organisation of activities through smartphone apps differs significantly from physical activities due to their unique nature. This study aims to explore the temporal distribution and contextual variation of the impact of smartphone app usage on travel within multi-day and multi-purpose frameworks. In this study, a one-week app-use diary was gathered from 1,193 smartphone users in four urban areas within Indonesian cities and analysed using hurdle regression and mixed-logit models. The findings reveal that individuals predominantly use apps for leisure, with the impact of generating new activities/trips (<em>generation effects</em>) reported three times greater than reducing travel needs (<em>substitution effects</em>). This indicates that app activities primarily contribute to the creation of new activities. Furthermore, wealthier and male users exhibit a higher tendency to engage in app activities that generate new trips, while daily substitution effects are less prevalent among users in larger cities or those living alone. The varied purposes of app activities result in varied impacts on activity participation across different contexts. Maintenance activities, such as online shopping, tend to influence travel in multiple ways, with substitution effects greater than generation effects. Temporal factors, such as time of day and day of the week, shape the impact of app activities on travel. At noon and in the afternoon, app usage has multiple effects on activity-travel patterns, where the substitution of existing activities tends to outweigh the creation of new ones. Substitution effects in leisure activities are most likely to occur at night. On weekends, substitution effects are more likely to occur on Saturdays due to increased activity levels compared to Sundays.
