The integration between shared mobility and metro systems can relieve severe social and environmental issues.

Those focusing on access/egress origin–destination trips are rather limited. This study employs XGBoost models to examine the impact of trip distance, as well as the origin and destination factors, on the metro-ridesourcing integrated access/egress trips during weekday morning and evening peak hours using ridesourcing trip record data in Nanjing, China. Most factors have similar effects on metro-ridesourcing integrated usage, regardless of type differences and temporal heterogeneity. For example, all four types of integrated usage are positively associated with the density of bike-sharing services at both metro station sides and Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) sides. An interesting finding is that symmetric effects are found regarding the distance of TAZs to the city center, TAZ-side employment density, residence density, and population-to-employment balance index. The association between these factors and morning-peak access usage is similar to that for evening-peak egress usage, and morning-peak egress usage shares similar patterns with evening-peak access usage. Understanding how the influencing factors affect different types of metro-ridesourcing integrated usage can gain refined results and thus provide targeted policies to policymakers and shared mobility operators to further promote multimodal metro use.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"40 ","pages":"Article 100994"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143387608","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}

A total of 93 Spanish adolescents wore an accelerometer and GPS during school days, and the start/end times of walking trips to/from school were determined using five different methodologies. Mixed-effects limits of agreement analyses were used to determine the level of agreement between the start/end times of the walking trips identified by the five methodologies mentioned. Moreover, methodologies were determined to be equivalent if the mean difference with the GPS was within the proposed equivalence zone of ± 5.0 min. Self-reported measures showed a good level of agreement for estimating start times of walking trips to school compared to GPS, 0.0 (LoA95%:-0.3–0.2) hours. Self-reported measures were deemed equivalent to GPS for measuring sedentary time, LPA, and MVPA. W30 and distance-based time were equivalent to GPS for LPA and MVPA, but not for sedentary time.

Self-reported measures showed the most precise approach for estimating start times to school, as well as it deemed equivalent to GPS for quantifying sedentary time, LPA, and MVPA.

This study sets up a context-dependent stated choice experiment to explore the critical factors that influence travelers’ choice between two bike-sharing feeder modes. It also examines whether these factors have different effects on traveler preferences in urban and suburban areas. Based on data from 402 urban respondents and 408 suburban respondents in Nanjing, China, we estimate random parameters logit models for urban and suburban areas, respectively, and find all main attributes are significant but exhibit variations across two geographical areas. Results indicate that riding distance is a critical factor in the choice between the two bike-sharing feeder modes: travelers prefer to use DBS at 800–1,500 m, while DEBS is favored at 2,500–4,000 m, especially in suburban areas. Although cost and access time also impact the probability of choosing DBS and DEBS, this influence is weaker than riding distance, as these factors do not significantly alter the “dominant riding distance” for either of the two bike-sharing feeder modes. Additionally, suburban travelers traveling for commuting purposes or with private electric bike experience are more likely to choose DEBS than DBS. The findings from this study can assist policymakers in devising targeted policy measures to promote the sustainable development of the two bike-sharing feeder modes in distinct geographical areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"40 ","pages":"Article 100999"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143378632","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 study advances a novel approach of combined machine learning (ML) and random utility-based discrete choice modeling (i.e., mixed logit model (MXL)). Results from the MXL model reveal that the longer the travel time and distance from the central business district, the less likely people are to visit a store for routine shopping (e.g., groceries). The random parameter analysis reveals that although high retail concentration surrounding the desired shopping location should attract individuals for shopping, there will be people who still may not intend to shop at those locations.

The highest mediation effect was found for proximity to subway stations. Furthermore, the study uncovers a dual moderation effect of online attractiveness, enhancing the advantages of highly accessible locations such as areas near subway stations and street-facing storefronts while complementing less accessible areas, including non-central locations and non-ground floor commercial spaces.

Considering factors such as cost, preparation time, and especially the safety and ethical issues of the participants, it is difficult to organize evacuation experiments with limited vision in reality. Therefore, in this paper, a multi-person online virtual experiment platform, including drawing, motion, and communication modules, is developed using the high security and expandability of virtual experiment technology to conduct such investigations that are difficult to organize safely and efficiently in reality. Firstly, the validation experiments were organized to compare with the control experiments regarding route choice and motion characteristics. The results showed that the platform could reproduce not only fundamental diagram but also route choice features of the real-life evacuation experiments. Secondly, the motion characteristics and following behavior of pedestrians during evacuation with different number and location settings of exit and different visual fields with limited vision were further studied. The results show that the movement characteristics and following behavior of pedestrians with limited vision are related to social information differences due to the visual field range (VFR) and building environment factors such as the number and location of exits. With VFR increases, the pedestrian evacuation time and movement area decrease and remain stable after VFR reaches 3.0 m. The average collision number of pedestrians increases with VFR, and the curve of the number of collisions in the dual-exit scenario is “V” shaped. The wayfinding time of pedestrians decreases with the VFR increase, and the blocking time increases accordingly. As the increase of VFR, the movement consistency and the following frequency of the crowd is higher; the larger of VFR in the single-exit scenario, the higher maximum frequency value that pedestrians are more likely to engage in following behavior, while they tend to make more autonomous decisions in the dual-exit scenario.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51534,"journal":{"name":"Travel Behaviour and Society","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100988"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143027360","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}
