Gender differences in travel and everyday life: A data-driven approach to address the intersectional nature of gender as a social construct Travel Behaviour and Society (IF 5.85) Pub Date : 2024-04-09 Yaxuan Zhang, Ying Song
Gender differences in travel patterns have been extensively studied in the transportation realm. Recent studies have started to adopt an intersectional lens to acknowledge that the convergence of gender and other social identities can create unique travel needs and experiences. However, studies often focus on gender differences in trip characteristics instead of putting trips in the context of daily

Effects of autonomous driving on residential location choice behavior: A travel-based multitasking perspective Travel Behaviour and Society (IF 5.85) Pub Date : 2024-03-30 Ryusei Kakujo, Makoto Chikaraishi, Akimasa Fujiwara
Fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) allow users to engage in multitasking behavior while traveling, potentially inducing longer travel because multitasking in AVs would generate a positive utility. Eventually, this may further induce residential relocation, as positive utility virtually reduces the value of time. Such influence may vary depending on whether the AV is used individually or with others (i

The impact of congestion and dedicated lanes on on-demand multimodal transit systems Travel Behaviour and Society (IF 5.85) Pub Date : 2024-03-10 Jason Lu, Anthony Trasatti, Hongzhao Guan, Kevin Dalmeijer, Pascal Van Hentenryck
Traffic congestion can have a detrimental effect on public transit systems, and understanding and mitigating these effects is of critical importance for effective public transportation. Implementing Dedicated Bus Lanes (DBLs) is a well-known intervention to achieve this goal. A DBL is a designated lane for bus transit, which avoids congestion and substantially lowers the travel time. This makes transit

Do shifts in the racial and ethnic composition of a neighborhood lead to extreme changes in commuting times? evidence from New York City Travel Behaviour and Society (IF 5.85) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Dwayne Marshall Baker, David López-García
From 2000 to 2016, NYC average commuting times increased by a marginal 0.24 s across all transit modes. Depending on one’s viewpoint, this could be a policy success due to no significant increase in commuting times or it could be a policy failure due to no substantial decrease in commuting time over almost two decades. Nevertheless, many census tracts actually experienced extreme increases or decreases

Commuting at night: How time of day affects commuter perceptions Travel Behaviour and Society (IF 5.85) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Jonas Kapitza
For many people, commuting to and from work is an essential part of their everyday lives. Many studies investigating the perception and effects of commuting on the commuter's subjective well-being (SWB) use a cost-benefit approach based in classical economic theory. This approach is then used to determine the overall positive or negative impact commuting may have on the commuter. However, one factor

Many paratransit agencies contract out trips to accessible taxi services. The literature has identified an array of transport barriers facing disabled people, and offers useful insights into how they experience different transport modes. However, remarkably little attention has been given to understanding how disabled people experience accessible taxi trips. In this paper, we present findings from

Geographic identity and perceptions of walkable space Travel Behaviour and Society (IF 5.85) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Corey Dickinson, Kevin Manaugh, Prasad Pathak, Raja Sengupta
Walkability can be broadly conceived of as an evaluation of the suitability of a built environment for pedestrian locomotion and has recently become a popular concept across a multitude of disciplines. This seemingly simple concept has expanded over the years, and now operates on a multitude of scales and utilizes a variety of measurement techniques. This sprawling field now faces a challenge, with

Reducing strategic uncertainty in transportation networks by personalized routing advice: A route-choice laboratory experiment Travel Behaviour and Society (IF 5.85) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Xiao Han, Qiuxia Sun, Yingying Xing, Zi-You Gao, H. Michael Zhang
One fundamental reason causing traffic flow instability and the difficulties in predicting traffic conditions is strategic uncertainty. This paper experimentally investigated how routing advice influenced strategic uncertainty and analyzed compliance behavior and decision time that might affect strategic uncertainty. Subjects participated in a route-choice game in which they were required to choose
