However, range anxiety is still a major concern among BEV users or potential users in recent years. The social-psychological factors were found to be associated with range anxiety, but how the charging decisions are affected by range anxiety is still unclear. Thus, in our study, through an online questionnaire issued in mainland China, we collected 230 participants’ charging decisions in 60 range-anxiety-inducing scenarios in which both distance-related, and time-related anxiety co-existed. Then, an interpretable machine learning (ML) approach with the Shapley Additive Explanations method was used to model BEV users’ charging decisions in these scenarios. To further explore users’ decision-making mechanisms, a Bayesian-Network-regression mixed approach was used to model the inner topological structure among the factors influencing users’ decisions. We find that both time-related and distance-related factors can affect users’ charging decisions, but the influence of waiting time is softer compared to the BEV range. Users’ charging decisions can also be moderated by users’ psychological states (i.e., range anxiety level and trust in range estimation system), individual differences (i.e., age and personality), and BEV using experience (i.e., driving mileage, display mileage and range estimation cycle of range estimation system), of which, the range anxiety level is more directly related with users’ charging decisions. Findings from this study can provide insights into the optimization of charge station distribution and customization of the charging recommendation system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 101111"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144842181","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}

It addresses the issue of missing income, in the data collected, by assuming the income variable to be latent in the ICLV model. The structural and measurement equations of the latent income variable are specified using novel error formulations having either normal or lognormal distributions. Among the models estimated, multiplicative models with lognormal error distribution in the structural and measurement equations were observed to result in a better fit than the conventional model with normal error distributions in both structural and measurement equations. Across models, income and environmental consciousness were found to significantly increase the preference for MaaS. Further, our results highlighted a need for improving the quality of existing shared modes and public transport that are included in the MaaS subscription. The preference for MaaS among low-income respondents, and females, who do not have a driving license, indicated that MaaS can be considered as an option to address the issue of transportation inequity, especially for people having low chances of owning a private vehicle.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 101110"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144842179","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 findings suggest that the physical features play several roles in children’s revealed or suppressed mobility, from the landmarks along relatively homogenous routes, to opportunities to engage in activities, or significant cues to infer risks.

The purpose of this study is to assess the traffic safety risk and analysis characteristics of lane-changing behavior in the UEI weaving area. Traffic safety risk is divided into instantaneous risk and overall risk. Risk characteristic indexes of rear-end and sideswipe conflicts are constructed and the K-means method is applied to assess the instantaneous risk. To assess the overall risk, the integrated risk index considering the distribution of instantaneous risk along the lane-changing process is calculated by faulty tree analysis. Then the field collected lane-changing trajectory data in the UEI weaving area is applied to the proposed risk assessment method and characteristics analysis is conducted. The results show that sideswipe conflict occurs more frequently in terms of conflict types, and lane-changing vehicles are more likely to have conflicts with the vehicles ahead, including those in the current lane and the target lane. Lane-changing behaviors with short lane-changing distance or crossing at least two lanes are among the main contributing factors for high overall safety risk. In general, the safety situation of the UEI weaving area needs to be improved. The proposed method may be applied to lane-changing decision making in assisted driving, and characteristics analysis results could be used to optimize the organization scheme in the UEI weaving area.","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"747 1","pages":"101106"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144898794","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 bridges this gap by devising two latent class choice models grounded in expected utility theory and prospect theory, using Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) subscription under uncertainties as case study. Each model identified three clusters, characterized by distinct socio-demographic attributes and unique risk decision patterns. While most individuals are risk-averse towards travel time and cost, divergent behaviors are evident among smaller groups, showing risk-seeking or mixed-risk attitudes toward these factors. Furthermore, we propose a follow-up analysis to elucidate the correlations between risk and loss attitudes, revealing that for non-monetary variables, risk aversion generally implies loss aversion. Conversely, for the monetary variable, risk-averse individuals are more likely than average to be loss-tolerant.

An Integrated Choice and Latent Variable (ICLV) model is adopted to integrate ride experience, latent psychological variables, and mode choice behaviors to investigate sources of influence on CTs’ choices of AVs. The results indicate that ride experience exerts a stronger positive influence on AV adoption, compared to socio-demographic attributes such as age, gender, and income. According to marginal effect estimates, ride experience can increase the likelihood of AV adoption by 7.37%.

When they do not possess a PCV, and the purchase costs of PAVs and PCVs are equal, their preference shifts in favor of PAVs.
