To ensure safety, it is crucial to understand the factors associated with collision risk related to these AMDs. To gain insights into the riders’ perspectives on the risk-taking behaviours and attitudes towards safety and sharing paths, a survey was conducted with 369 e-bike and 133 e-scooter riders across Singapore. The collected data was analysed to identify critical features of behaviour, attitudes, and opinions of e-scooters/e-bikes riders and their impact on perceived collision risk. Logistic Regression was used to select the most important behavioural features linked to collision risk, and significance of each was quantified by using the odds ratios in the chosen model. The results reveal that e-bike riders who regularly brake hard to avoid obstacles and highly value capacity of e-bike to carry goods face an increase in collision risk by 49.1% and 43.48% respectively. Those preferring quieter AMDs face 33.31% lower collision risk. Additionally, e-bike riders advocating for more traffic enforcement or the importance of slowing down when overtaking pedestrians face 20.69% and 38.84% lower collision risk respectively. E-scooter riders who manoeuvre quickly to dodge collisions or prioritize passenger-carrying capacity encounter a 142.25% and 67.43% higher collision risk, respectively. Furthermore, e-scooter riders willing to bend rules when not causing inconvenience to others face an increase in collision risk by 123.00%. These outcomes offer significant insights for the design and regulation of active mobility to safeguard all road users in a multi-modal transport environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100918"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142420375","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}

Conducting management for such a hybrid multi-modal system faces various challenges, including the complex interactions between bike-sharing and other modes, highly dynamic passenger demand, and the difficulty of accessing direct transfer data. To overcome such difficulties, our study proposes a framework for assessing the dependency between the two usage modes. Firstly, a Dynamic-Time-Warping-based (DTW) method is utilized to determine the catchment area (CA) between the two modes, allowing the BnR-related tendency similarity under a given time scale to be considered. Then, the patterns of probabilistic dependence between travel demand of the two modes are obtained by a copula-based approach, which separates correlations under specific usage levels from single modal demands. A case study on the multi-modal system formed by docked bike-sharing and subway in New York is conducted to validate the proposed framework. The tendency similarity is found to be most pronounced within 500 m on average under a 4-hour interval. For each formed station group (SG), the best-fitted copula type is selected, capturing the strong tail correlations present only at specific usage levels. The results show a variety of different correlation patterns within SGs, despite the close geographic locations they may share. Areas of potential transfer resistance between the two modes are identified, which is more evident in first-mile-related (FMR) activities. In contrast, the two modes display more weak connections in last-mile-related (LMR) activities. The obtained results can be utilized by bike-sharing service providers to analyze demand distributions and conduct efficient station-level rebalancing. Compared to previous methods, our proposed framework is computationally inexpensive since no direct transfer of data or complex inference network is required. It incorporates statistically significant spatial–temporal information, allowing for a more accurate determination of the bi-modal assessment range. Moreover, considering that single-mode influences are mathematically removed, the resulting correlation in principle links to the strength of the connections between the two modes. Therefore, it can be assessed as an indicator of the reliability of the multi-modal system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100908"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142420376","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, current research on accessibility and land prices seldom fully considers the exploration of the relationship between the two using machine learning models. In this study, we conduct an analysis based on land price and accessibility in Beijing. Firstly, factors such as accessibility, population density, land use types, the number of Points of Interest (POI), and housing prices are selected as independent variables for the model, with land price as the dependent variable. Secondly, the CatBoost model is employed to investigate the complex relationship between accessibility to transit and land prices. Finally, the study introduces the XGBoost model and the ordinary least squares (OLS) method for comparison, validating the effectiveness of the CatBoost model in studying the complex relationship between accessibility and land prices through the comparison of model performance evaluation metrics. A clear nonlinear relationship exists between public transportation accessibility and land prices. Accessibility to bus within a 15-min bicycle is positively associated with land price; its trend shows a sharp increase followed by a gradual increase, and then another sharp increase. Accessibility to metro within the multistage distance threshold walk has a roughly positive association with land price within a certain range. While accessibility to bus within a 15-min walk and accessibility to bus within the multistage distance threshold walk have a negative association with land price. The nonlinear patterns between the four accessibility variables and land prices differ and exhibit significant spatial heterogeneity. Both housing prices and population density positively correlate with land prices. Housing prices sharply increase, then gradually, while population density gradually rises, then sharply. This paper explores the relationship between the two, reinforcing research on the mutual influence of public transportation facilities and surrounding environmental elements.

Based on pilot demonstrations, some prior studies have explored the factors influencing the user acceptance of new automated vehicle technology based on real-life riding experience. However, these studies are restricted to predicting the adoption of an automated bus by utilising cross-sectional data, but with no data to explore whether public attitudes and acceptance would change over time. To fill the research gap, a longitudinal survey was conducted. Using the panel data, the present study focuses on users with real-world riding experiences on automated buses operated in a mixed-traffic environment on public roads in Stockholm. Contributing to the longitudinal analysis of the public’s acceptance of automated buses, we develop a novel conceptual model integrating the service quality and the technology acceptance model (TAM). A dynamic structural equation model is employed to explore the changes in judging criteria regarding service adoption among adopters and non-adopters. The findings indicate that comfort and convenience are the most significant determinants of satisfaction and the perception of usefulness, which, in turn, positively affect people’s adoption intentions, as well as encouraging favourable word-of-mouth behaviour.

Two of these groups are more car-oriented and less multimodal (i.e., drive-alone users and carpoolers), whereas the other two are less car-oriented and display higher levels of multimodality (i.e., transit users and cyclists).

In terms of mode substitution, if ridehailing were not available, respondents tend to choose the mode they use most frequently. In other words, car-based travelers are more likely to substitute ridehailing trips with car trips, whereas non-car-based travelers are more likely to replace ridehailing with less-polluting modes.

However, the impact of disruptions to roadway networks varies for different populations within communities because of various socioeconomic factors. While it is important to capture the performance characteristics of transportation networks to ensure goods and services can flow throughout a community, there also lies a need to consider the needs of populations in a community that are more vulnerable to disruptions due to limited mobility. This study aims to propose a framework for roadway network post-disaster recovery planning that considers the needs of socially vulnerable populations. Specific objectives of the study include: i) developing a geographic social vulnerability index (SVI) using census demographic data to quantify the extent to which communities may be considered “socially vulnerable” ii) integrating the index into an actionable decision framework for post-disaster bridge repair strategy and iii) demonstrating how the consideration of social vulnerability can influence network performance.
