    查看更多>>摘要：This study analyzes the satisfaction and loyalty levels of car commuters in Central Europe using data collected within the EU-funded project 'Smart-Commuting.' A Fuzzy-Hybrid TOPSIS approach is employed to measure synthetic indicators of satisfaction and loyalty among commuters. Subsequently, those expressing high satisfaction and loyalty to cars are identified through Fuzzy-Clustering Analysis. Finally, Probit estimation is utilized to investigate individual socioeconomic effects on the elevated levels of satisfaction and loyalty in car-based commuting. Results suggest that these are influenced by several socio-economic factors, including travel distance, travel time, occupation, and income. Gender and age also play a role, with males and older individuals exhibiting a higher inclination to drive. These findings can be instrumental in guiding mobility measures aimed at promoting sustainable commuting, such as incentives for public transport, improvements to cycling and walking infrastructure, and the implementation of flexible working arrangements. This is particularly relevant in Central Europe, where high car-dependency for commuting is well-documented.

    Electric vehicle public charging choices: a qualitative investigation

    651-673页
    查看更多>>摘要：Understanding how potential and existing electric vehicle users choose public charging is critical for the development of public-charging infrastructure. This study employs a qualitative approach guided by stated choice tasks to examine the decision-making processes regarding public charging. Through 20 interviews of existing and potential EV users in the UK, thematic analysis of responses pointed towards three areas: the choice context, attribute non-attendance and payment method. Participants sought detailed information about the circumstances under which they had to charge their vehicles. Attribute non-attendance meant that some participants paid more attention to specific attributes than others (e.g. location, price). Responses around the payment method pointed towards differences in relation to personal attitudes. This evidence suggests that charging choices are context-dependent, choices may be guided by specific attributes and individual attitudes play a role in these choices. These are also important considerations when designing a large-scale survey involving choice experiments and public charging.

    Factors influencing the spatial distribution of EV adoption - a case study in England

    M. KhaderR. E. WilsonT. Tryfonas
    674-692页
    查看更多>>摘要：The current Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption models target the factors impacting the adoption on a national scale. However, these models fail to explain the observed variability in EV adoption within one nation. To that end, this study investigates potential factors affecting the variability of EV adoption across a nation, taking England as a case study. The examined factors include electricity and gas consumption, photovoltaic installations, and the total number of privately registered vehicles. These factors were analysed in the form of growth rates spanning from 2015 to 2021. The Spatial Error Model was used in the spatial regression analysis of the proposed factors. The obtained model (ft2 = 85.6%) indicates that the variability of EV adoption in England can be explained by economic and environmental factors, with the highest impact on the adoption variability attributed to the reduction rate in electricity consumption.

    Effect of side road junction design enhancements and flows on priority for crossing pedestrians and cyclists

    693-711页
    查看更多>>摘要：Enhancements to designs or carriageway markings are increasingly used by engineers to reinforce pedestrians' and cyclists' priority when crossing side roads at their junctions with main roads. Yielding behaviour in 13,402 interactions was collected at enhanced and control junctions. Enhanced junctions created high proportions of interactions demonstrating priority for pedestrians and cyclists (by design: 90%, markings with zebra: 88%) and eliminated voluntary yields by them. A negative binomial model with log-link accounting for junction type and flows indicates 1.4 times more yields forced by drivers onto pedestrians and cyclists with enhanced design, and 1.1 times more with enhanced marking with zebra. There is no effect of the crossing set-back distance from the main road, cyclists experience fewer forced yields than pedestrians, and cycling towards main road traffic is not problematic. The research confirms the efficacy of enhancements, supported inclusion of enhanced designs in Scottish guidance, and is influencing guidance interpretation.

    Decoding cargo bikes' potential to be a sustainable last-mile delivery mode: an operations management perspective

    712-734页
    查看更多>>摘要：Cargo bikes are considered as a low-cost and flexible last-mile solution for the transport of goods. However, there are few studies that identify and contextualise the factors underpinning their sustainable operations and potential to effectively work as the last leg of a green, efficient, and societally beneficial supply chain. The authors addressed this gap by systematically collecting and thematically analysing 49 articles published between 2017 and 2023. The findings demonstrate that cargo bikes can utilise their potential as a sustainable last-mile delivery mode if: (a) their operations are optimised (from parking to routing and from traffic management to load capacity planning); (b) their social sustainability performance is enhanced (e.g. safety, security, fatigue of workforce); and (c) the cities hosting them invest in bike-friendly infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, land use approaches and mobility hubs. This paper offers cargo bike insights that can assist relevant stakeholders to enhance their efficiency and overall adoption.

    735-755页
    查看更多>>摘要：This paper examines the long-term impact of transport interventions on urban development in Southampton while considering transport funding received in the last decade. In addition to funding associated with its local transport plan, Southampton has received funding from, among others, the Local Sustainable Transport Fund, the Access Fund, the Transforming Cities Fund and the Future Transport Zone programme fund. This paper analyses relationships among four key variables: traffic levels, population, transport expenditure and gross value added (GVA). By analysing these variables over time, the study provide insights on how interventions shape urban mobility and sustainability. Key findings indicate GVA significantly correlates with traffic level, demonestrating that economic growth drives transport demand. The paper discuss the challenges in long-term evaluation of interventions, including incosistent data, external shocks like COVID-19 and methodological limitations specifically in causation interpretation - and offers suggestions for improving monitoring and evaluation process in term of data analysis and policy alignment.

    查看更多>>摘要：This study examines the impacts of transport infrastructure investments on Cameroon's economic growth and poverty reduction, using a dynamic computable general equilibrium model and microsimulation. Analysing road, rail, air, and water transport, results show road infrastructure has the largest impact, with positive contributions from other modes. However, benefits diminish without sustained investment. The paper advocates for a balanced strategy, prioritising continuous upgrades and expanded rural road networks to mitigate regional inequalities and promote inclusive growth. In Cameroon, where transport is vital for economic transformation, this research highlights the need for strategic, long-term infrastructure investment to ensure equitable and sustainable development.

    查看更多>>摘要：The study explores pedestrian experiences of shared e-scooters in relation to safety and comfort, and issues of discrimination, considering disability as an important dimension. It differentiates between the views of those who have ridden e-scooters and those who have not. It draws on a survey (N = 643) and walk-along interviews (N = 9) as part of an evaluation of the West of England rental e-scooter trial. Participants expressed strong feelings from experiencing crashes or witnessing near-misses. Disorderly parking is particularly challenging for partially sighted people and people with balance issues. Participants noted that there is little e-scooter parking infrastructure, and this results in pedestrian space infringement. Also, the appropriateness, respect for, and enforcement of rules were questioned by the participants. We conclude that equitable city access is not possible without the provision of appropriate space, rules, and rule enforcement for e-scooters, and these need to be addressed quickly given e-scooter rental scheme popularity.
