Short-term forecasting of origin-destination matrix in transit system via a deep learning approach

Yuxin He, Yang Zhao, Kwok-Leung Tsui

Summary: Short-term travel demand forecasting is a critical step in transportation system management, but it faces challenges due to the complex relevance among OD pairs, temporal dependencies, and external factors. This study proposes an innovative deep learning approach called MF-ResNet, which converts the complex relevance among OD pairs into graphical-based spatial dependencies. Experimental results show that MF-ResNet robustly captures multiple complex dependencies and outperforms traditional methods in terms of forecasting accuracy.

Do environmental technologies help to reduce transport sector CO2 emissions? Evidence from the EU15 countries

Sedat Alatas

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of technological progress on carbon emissions in the transport sector and finds that environmental technologies have no significant positive effect on CO2 emissions. Additionally, economic growth and energy consumption lead to more pollution while urbanization does not have a statistically significant impact on emissions. Policymakers in EU15 countries are recommended to pay special attention to the transport sector in order to achieve a carbon-neutral economy.

What drives adoption intention of electric vehicles in India? An integrated UTAUT model with environmental concerns, perceived risk and government support

Nikunj Kumar Jain, Kalyan Bhaskar, Sourabh Jain

Summary: This study aims to explore the factors influencing the adoption intention of electric vehicles (EVs) in India. An integrated model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was developed, using perceived risk as a predictor and environmental concerns and government support as moderators. The findings indicate that performance expectancy and facilitating conditions positively influence the adoption intention of EVs, while perceived risk has a negative impact. Government support was found to moderate the relationship between perceived risk and adoption intention, reducing the negative effect of perceived risk. This study validates the UTAUT framework in the context of EV adoption in India and contributes to the literature on psychological factors affecting the intention to adopt new products.
