Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on travel patterns, and this study explores the behavior differences in travel choices after the pandemic in the United Kingdom, Australia, Colombia, and South Africa using survey data. Three key latent constructs, including concerns about COVID-19, approval of government interventions, and skepticism towards COVID-19 measures, are identified to play a role in explaining stated travel choices.

Summary: This study focuses on the impact of various policy instruments implemented in California on morning peak hour and home-based work traffic volume. It found that remote work had a more significant and lasting effect than state policy, and highlighted the inequities in commute burden. The study suggests that policymakers and planners should consider the occupation mix as a key factor in improving transportation infrastructure in the future.

Summary: Predicting and analyzing flight delays is crucial for air traffic management. This study proposes a novel model and method to better understand the causes of flight delays and improve decision boundaries for flight delay subcategories. By employing proper sampling approaches, the method effectively uncovers hidden patterns in the complex system of flight delay subcategories. The results demonstrate high accuracy compared to other data-driven approaches.

Summary: The aim of the study was to determine the feasibility and potential benefits of using a driving simulator screening test in addition to the on-road driving test. The results showed that the simulator test was able to successfully identify drivers who were not sufficiently aware of the risks associated with driving. The study suggests that the driving simulator can be a useful tool for practice and education.

Summary: The 15-minute city concept has been adopted by many cities worldwide to create compact and livable urban environments where residents can access essential urban functions within a 15-minute active travel radius. However, there is a lack of comprehensive measures and understanding of the 15-minute city status. This study proposes a 15-minute city index that incorporates accessibility to five categories of POI locations using the latest population census and POI data in Hong Kong.

Summary: Working from home is considered a potential solution to various contemporary problems. However, it had not been widely adopted until the COVID-19 pandemic. This research analyzes the results of two surveys conducted in Ireland in 2019 and 2020, examining the factors impacting the desire for working from home and how it has changed. The study reveals that the pandemic and the normalization of working from home have influenced people's attitudes.

Summary: This study investigates the non-linear and synergistic effects of green spaces on active travel in Chengdu using multi-source data and interpretable machine learning techniques. The findings suggest that green spaces have a positive effect on active travel, but this effect diminishes and can even become negative when the area reaches a certain threshold. The green view index has complex effects on cycling, and there are synergistic effects among predictors.

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of residential built environments on residents' mobility using large-scale spatiotemporal trajectory data and finds that residential built environments have a stronger influence on activity space. Differences in the relationship between human mobility and residential built environments are also identified between weekdays and weekends.

Summary: Machine learning models, such as random forests, have been widely used in the field of road safety. However, the traditional RF algorithm fails to capture spatial variability. To address this, a modified algorithm called geographically weighted random forest (GWRF) is employed. The results from analyzing London data show that GWRF outperforms RF and GWR, and is not affected by multicollinearity.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of smartwatch usage on children's street-crossing behavior and visual strategies. The results showed that children wearing smartwatches crossed the street more slowly and had a narrower visual search range compared to children without smartwatches. Distraction tasks performed on the smartwatch also affected children's crossing behavior and increased the risk of collision.

Summary: Walkability, a popular concept across disciplines, faces challenges due to its conceptual incoherence and lack of standardization. This study explores the perceptions of walkable space in two groups in Canada and India, finding that while there are differences in the conception of walkability in terms of built environment elements, a common understanding of general walkability exists between the two groups.

Summary: This study investigates predictors and consequences of driver-initiated take-overs during automated evasion maneuvers. The results show that drivers are more likely to take over control in critical driving situations when the criticality increases and trust in automation decreases. Such take-overs can be hazardous for traffic safety.

Summary: The concept of distracted pedestrians and its impact on highway safety has gained attention. However, studies on distracted pedestrian crashes are less prevalent than those on distracted driving. This study aims to reveal the contributing factors involved in distracted pedestrian crashes. Ten years of crash data were extracted and association rule mining was applied. The findings highlight the complex nature of these crashes and the relationships between risk factors.

Summary: Many transport models allocate all costs to the car driver without considering the cost sharing among passengers. This paper questions this premise and argues that cost sharing can occur in various forms, which should be properly accounted for in transport models. The empirical evidence from Denmark suggests that not accounting for cost sharing may result in biased cost elasticities and occupancy rates.

Summary: High-speed rail is considered a promising alternative for long-distance travel, but the current state of the European HSR network is poorly connected. This study presents a customized version of network design and frequency setting problem for HSR, and analyzes the performance under various policies and design variables. The results show that considering externalities leads to more extensive networks and mode shifts, but requires high public investments. The importance of network integration and cross-border cooperation is highlighted. The findings aim to contribute to the design of an attractive and competitive European HSR network.

Summary: This study examines the impact of metro expansion on the mode choice of commuters residing near and away from metro stations. Using household travel survey data before and after the formation of the metro network in Xi'an, a difference-in-difference model is developed. The study finds that the average metro mode share of residents within 1 km of metro stations increases slightly but is statistically insignificant, while residents living beyond 1 km from metro stations experience a substantial increase in metro mode share.
