Future Transportation, Volume 4, Issue 3

Lane management strategies are vital for solving traffic congestion and improving transportation efficiency in metropolitan corridors. These corridors, which facilitate economic and social interactions by connecting major urban areas, face significan...

International research attention on evacuation issues has increased significantly following the human and natural disasters at the turn of the century, such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Cyclones Idai and Kenneth, the Black Saturday forest fires and ts...

The transition of the vehicle fleet to incorporate AV will be a long and complex process. AVs will gradually form a larger and larger share of the fleet mix, offering opportunities and challenges for improved efficiency and safety. At any given point...

Assessing road safety performance in various regions of a country is crucial for improving overall road safety conditions and reducing the global mortality rate. This study employs the data-envelopment-analysis-based Malmquist productivity index (DEA...

With an increasing adoption of battery-electric bus (BEB) fleets, developing a reliable charging schedule is vital to a successful migration from their fossil fuel counterparts. In this paper, a simulated annealing (SA) implementation is developed fo...

The swap-body vehicle routing problem (SBVRP) represents a specialized extension of the traditional vehicle routing problem (VRP), incorporating additional practical complexities. Effective fuel consumption management and the scheduling of multiple v...

Despite significant research efforts into wrong-way driving crashes, the fatality rate in the United States remains persistently high year after year. However, few studies have concentrated on how the driver’s familiarity with the road affects...

Intersection safety has been traditionally evaluated using three to five years of crash data. Recent literature suggests that connected vehicle (CV)-derived hard braking (HB) events can provide a surrogate for crashes with only a few weeks or months...

Urban transport has evolved based on three main visions: automobility, multimodality, and accessibility. The first dominates North American cities; the second, European; the third, significantly discussed in the literature, is still in the early stag...

The rise in population density, vehicle ownership, and urban development has significantly influenced travel demand and altered travel patterns, leading to traffic congestion in rapidly growing urban centers such as Accra, Ghana. The traditional appr...

Previously, we estimated the net change in energy use from ridehail services in Austin Texas. This estimate was based, in part, on assumptions regarding the number of rides involving two pooled parties and the distance drivers commuted into their ser...

(1) Introduction: Transportation logistics play a pivotal role in facilitating both individual mobility and supply chain operations on a global scale. However, conventional transportation systems have contributed significantly to urban congestion and...

The electrification of transport is a step towards the transition to efficient, cleaner, and low-carbon mobility, as it decreases negative environmental effects and greenhouse gas emissions. In many countries, the adoption and the deployment of elect...

This paper examined the accuracy of six installed LiDAR sensors at six different signalized intersections in Trois-Rivières City, Quebec, Canada. At each intersection, the crucial leading and following movements that cause vehicle–vehicle (V2V) and v...

Airport areas generate significant air pollution from both air and surface traffic. Policy makers often address this by considering single contributions, either from rubber-tired vehicles or aircraft, leading to an underestimation of the non-consider...

This study explores the role of local authorities in achieving net zero emissions in the context of the climate crisis, with a particular focus on the freight transport sector. The study identifies the challenges of decarbonising urban freight transp...

Digital technologies are essential tools that enable traceability in supply chains. In low-income countries, traceability represents a challenge due to the complicated structure of supply chains and the involvement of multiple stakeholders. This rese...

Advances and cost reductions in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor technology have allowed for their implementation in detecting vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians at signalized intersections. Most LiDAR use cases have focused on safety anal...

Fully autonomous vehicles, once legally and technically feasible and widely available, have numerous advantages compared to human-driven vehicles, from greater availability and shorter travel times to lower negative environmental emissions and fewer...

Integrating autonomous vehicles (AVs) into public roads presents profound implications for pedestrian safety and the broader acceptance of this emerging technology. This work examines the complex interactions between AVs and pedestrians, a dynamic in...

In this study, we consider the introduction of new mobility services and technologies into the megacity of Beijing, China, as per developed strategy and action plans, in order to investigate their potential contribution to sustainable mobility. This...

This research germinates from the statement that cities need to solve the impacts caused by freight transport to improve their sustainability by implementing a set of city logistic measures. Urban freight distribution through environmentally friendly...
