Assessing potential sustainability benefits of micromobility: a new data driven approach Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Antonio Comi, Antonio Polimeni
Promoting the shift from private cars to micromobility (e.g., bike, e-bike, scooter) can represent a valuable action to improve city sustainability and liveability. Micromobility can help to replace trips by individual private cars (e.g., daily short round trips) as well as to improve coverage and accessibility of transit services, and, subsequently, to reduce the traffic impacts (e.g., pollutant emissions)

EV-share development: speed vs interest to adopt Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2024-02-02 Riku Viri, Johanna Mäkinen
Transport is a notable source of greenhouse gas emissions. While the mobility habits of people have an effect on a large share of the emissions, the development of the car fleet also plays a major role. In this study, Finnish SALAMA-model is used to calculate nine different scenarios, examining how changes in both the car fleet turnover speed and interest towards electric vehicles (EVs) affect the

Analysis of the barriers to multimodal freight transport and their mitigation strategies Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2023-11-23 Ahmed Karam, Anders Julius Klejs Jensen, Mohamed Hussein
Multimodal Freight Transport (MFT) has been introduced as a solution for reducing the external costs of freight transport while achieving cost improvements. Despite the MFT benefits, its share has been low in practice, and transport by trucks remains the most preferred transport mode. A few works have recently investigated this issue by discussing various barriers to MFT. However, little conceptual

Estimation of joint value in mobility as a service ecosystems under different orchestrator settings Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2023-08-18 Lisa Kraus, Heike Proff, Arne Jeppe
Ecosystems aim to create joint value that is higher than the sum of the value added of the single companies combined. However, for Mobility as a Service (MaaS) ecosystems, the economic potential is not yet proven. This concurs with the definition of MaaS ecosystems and the debate about who should be the orchestrator – a private or a public entity. This article therefore delivers a first approach to

Expected effects of accident data recording technology evolution on the identification of accident causes and liability Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2023-06-05 Gábor Vida, Árpád Török
The classic accident reconstruction process is based on information recorded manually at the scene and gathered from witness statements. Liability cannot always be determined if no objective data are available, especially for accidents at traffic lights. Even Event Data Recorder (EDR) data (speed, braking, gas/brake pedal operation, etc.) will not improve the assessment of such a liability situation

A comparative evaluation of the safety performance of bus priority route configurations Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2023-05-22 Victoria Gitelman, Etti Doveh
One way to promote public transport use in cities lies in establishing bus priority routes (BPRs) on main traffic arterials, to reduce bus travel times. But, BPRs require infrastructure changes in road layouts, creating more complex traffic settings that may have safety implications. Previous research indicated that design features affect BPRs' safety, but findings regarding the impacts of various

Merging and diverging operations: benchmark of three European microscopic simulation tools and comparison with analytical formulations Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2023-04-28 Mathis Boukhellouf, Christine Buisson, Nicolas Chiabaut
We benchmark three European microscopic simulation software’s ability to reproduce congested patterns at merges and diverges by comparing their macroscopic outputs to validated analytical formulations. The capacity drop and, in the specific case of merges, the priority ratio are assessed. At the microscopic scale, the spatial distribution of lane changes at merges is examined. A single reference state

Ensuring sustainable mobility in urban periphery, rural areas and remote regions Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2023-04-14 Takeru Shibayama, Guenter Emberger
Transport and mobility planning has been going through a fundamental paradigm change, from conventional approaches focusing on physical and economic dimensions to minimize generalized cost of travel towards more sustainable approaches also incorporating social dimensions (e.g., Banister [2]). Regarding urban areas, the European initiative of Sustainable Urban Transport Planning (SUMP), which incorporates

Evaluation of macroscopic fundamental diagram characteristics for a quantified penetration rate of autonomous vehicles Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2023-03-26 Muhammad Tabish Bilal, Davide Giglio
The availability of private vehicles with autonomous features is widespread nowadays. Various car manufacturers are providing attributes like collision warning, city automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance and lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic and blind-spot warning in their high-end models. Such features can automatically manage

Detection of anomalies in cycling behavior with convolutional neural network and deep learning Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2023-03-23 Shumayla Yaqoob, Salvatore Cafiso, Giacomo Morabito, Giuseppina Pappalardo
Cycling has always been considered a sustainable and healthy mode of transport. With the increasing concerns of greenhouse gases and pollution, policy makers are intended to support cycling as commuter mode of transport. Moreover, during Covid-19 period, cycling was further appreciated by citizens as an individual opportunity of mobility. Unfortunately, bicyclist safety has become a challenge with

An evaluation of the passing process through road - vehicle parameters assessment Eur. Transp. Res. Rev. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2023-03-15 Stergios Mavromatis, Vassilios Matragos, Konstantinos Apostoleris, Fotios Fotos, George Yannis
This paper investigates the interaction between vehicle dynamics parameters and road geometry during the passing process. The methodology is based on a realistic representation of the passing task with respect to roadway’s posted speed and the ability of the passing (examined) vehicle to perform such maneuvers. Regarding passing distance outputs, an existing vehicle dynamics model was utilized, where
