How and why we travel - Mobility demand and emissions from passenger transport

Vera O'Riordan et al.

Summary: This paper develops a new model to calculate passenger transport demand and emissions in Ireland, and quantifies energy consumption and emissions intensities for different modes of transportation. The findings show that the uptake rates for walking and cycling have not reached the expected targets.

Estimating Passenger Car Equivalent Factors for Heterogeneous Traffic Using Occupancy-Density Linear Regression Model

Afzal Ahmed et al.

Summary: This research proposes a method that estimates the passenger car equivalent (PCE) factors for different types of vehicles in heterogeneous traffic by utilizing the linear relationship between road area occupancy and density. Aerial photographs obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were used to analyze road area occupancy and the number of vehicles in different categories. A linear regression model was developed to estimate the PCE factors based on the occupancy-density relationship. The results show that the proposed method produces reasonable PCE values and outperforms existing methods.

Transportation in the Sharing Economy

Margaretha Gansterer et al.

Summary: Traditionally, there was a focus on owning resources, but now there is a trend towards sharing resources, especially in the transportation sector. Sharing resources can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and promote sustainability.

Representing travel cost variation in large-scale models of long-distance passenger transport

Ida Kristoffersson et al.

Summary: This paper demonstrates that cost variation for long-distance travel is often substantial and likely to increase in the future. Different approaches are proposed for addressing cost variation in model estimation and forecasting, with focus on public transport and car type choice for handling car cost variation.

Carsharing: a systematic literature review and research agenda

Brenda Nansubuga et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive understanding of carsharing research by analyzing 279 papers published between 1996 and 2020, identifying key themes such as business models, drivers and barriers, customer behavior, and vehicle balancing. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration among stakeholders within the automotive sector, as well as the role of policy makers in supporting the success of carsharing services. This is the first systematic multi-disciplinary literature review in the field of carsharing, integrating insights from transportation, environmental, and business studies.
