Urban cycling has evolved significantly over the last decade, becoming a key component of many cities’ sustainability strategies, including Prague, which is the focus of this study. This research explores the potential impacts of the proposed m...
The risk of serious crashes is notably higher among young and novice drivers. This increased risk is due to several factors, including a lack of recognition of dangerous situations, an overestimation of driving skills, and vulnerability to peer press...
Urban freight transportation is facing significant challenges due to increasing demand, driven by globalization, e-commerce growth, and the adoption of just-in-time logistics. These trends have led to rising vehicle flows in urban areas, negatively i...
Complete Streets (CS) are defined as streets that accommodate all types of users, regardless of ability, safely and equitably allowing for the presence of pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and vehicle drivers to share the roadway. Several agenc...
Road traffic crash valuation is essential for understanding the economic and social impacts of road safety, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where data constraints hinder effective policymaking. This study aims to enhance the un...
Traffic congestion in urban areas is a pressing challenge, with roundabouts and signalized intersections offering different operational benefits. This study explores the integration of these two intersection types, focusing on the optimal distance be...
Connected and automated vehicles (CAV) are growing in popularity and could have potential implications on the transportation system. The effects of CAVs have yet to be fully realized because of the newness of the technology. Anticipated effects inclu...
Motorcycles are a prominent contributor to most fatalities arising from traffic incidents, primarily due to drivers’ failure to adhere to traffic laws. Notably, differences in traffic violation frequency between urban and rural motorcyclists ca...
Road Weather Information Systems (RWISs) are essential components of modern Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) deployed in cold regions to gather real-time data on winter weather and road surface conditions. Despite their benefits, the high co...
The European Union (EU) is paving the way toward “Vision Zero”, a future goal of eliminating road fatalities and severe injuries. Railway level crossings are critical safety hotspots where road and rail traffic intersect and present a uni...
Traffic accidents have become a pressing global public health concern, contributing to millions of deaths and injuries each year. Similar to many countries, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is facing significant challenges to overcome the burden of traffi...
Among urban public transport systems, light rail, mass transit, and tram systems offer sustainable travel options. However, many of these systems, particularly in developed countries, fail to meet user needs and the expectations of transport authorit...
Efficient toll processing is critical for mitigating traffic congestion and enhancing transportation network efficiency at toll stations. This study explores the Neelamangala Toll Plaza on India’s National Highway 48, employing artificial intelligenc...
The use of traffic simulation to analyze traffic safety and performance has become common in transportation engineering. Microsimulation methods are increasingly used to analyze driving performance for different road geometries and environmental elem...
Electric-connected automated vehicle (CAV) shuttles, as a part of the sustainable microtransit system, have the potential to fill public transit service gaps. Following technology and traveler acceptance tests that are underway around the world, mass...
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) and shared mobility constitute two of the “Three Revolutions” that portend major changes to surface transportation. AVs promise to reduce accidents, expand accessibility, and decrease congestion, while shared mob...
This study identified the main factors affecting car selection decisions through discrete choice experiments based on a large dataset collected in four European countries in 2023 using stated choice questionnaires. The choice set includes six current...
This study investigates the application of machine learning (ML) to understand and mitigate winter road risks while addressing model interpretability. Using 26,970 winter crash records collected over four years in Edmonton, Canada, we developed and c...
The inherent uncertainty in travel forecasting models—arising from potential and unknown errors in input data, parameter estimation, or model formulation—is receiving increasing attention from both the scholarly and practicing communities...
This research investigates the Saudi marine sector’s response to climate change. In particular, it assesses industry stakeholder awareness, attitudes, and actions concerning climate-related challenges. A complete survey was distributed to a var...
The wing-in-ground (WIG) effect occurs when air pressure is created beneath a craft moving close to the ground. The pressure created adds upwards lift, resulting in less need for propulsion for moving forward. Over the years, several companies in var...
In 2023, the EU set the target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% until 2030 compared to 1990. The European Transport Policy sees battery–electric vehicles as a key technology to decarbonize the transport sector, so governments sup...
Pedestrian safety is a growing global concern, particularly in urban areas, where rapid urbanization and increased mobile device usage have led to an increase in distracted walking. This study investigates the impact of technological distractions, sp...
This article aims to investigate the economic feasibility of renewing a fleet of diesel light commercial vehicles (LCVs) with equivalent more environmentally friendly vehicles in the distribution of frozen and chilled foods. A Total Cost of Ownership...
Integrating autonomous shuttles into public transportation systems holds immense potential to revolutionize urban mobility and enhance accessibility. This paper focuses on a comprehensive analysis of the perceptions of practitioners and industry expe...
Transportation 5.0 is an advanced and sophisticated system combining technologies with a focus on human-centered design and inclusivity. Its various components integrate intelligent infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, shared mobility services, green...
While cargo bikes are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to larger, more polluting vehicles in both the logistics and private mobility sectors, there has been comparatively little research on their use for private mobility. The potential of...
Performing synchronization in public transport is one of the most challenging tasks that transport managers perform when organizing the processes of passenger servicing. Many variables characterizing existing public transport lines should be consider...
In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital connectivity, airlines have integrated these advancements as indispensable tools for a seamless consumer experience. However, digitisation has increased the scope of risk in the cyber realm. Limited studie...
The European Union’s path towards zero carbon dioxide emissions for new passenger vehicles necessitates a transitional period in which conventional vehicles coexist with zero-emission alternatives. This shift requires targeted strategies from e...
This paper studies the Greek interregional road network (GRN) using network, statistical, and empirical analysis. The research aims to extract the socioeconomic information embedded in the topology of the GRN and to interpret to what extent this netw...
This paper addresses the critical issue of road safety in the indispensable role of transportation for societal well-being and economic growth. Despite global initiatives like Vision Zero, traffic accidents persist, largely influenced by driver behav...
This paper discusses the modeling and solution of a cold chain logistics (CCL) problem using artificial intelligence of things (AIoT). The presented model aims to reduce the costs of the entire CCL network by maintaining the minimum quality of cold p...
