Summary: This paper proposes an integrated business model that combines shared parking services with ride-sourcing platforms to reduce cruising traffic. Through economic equilibrium modeling and numerical studies, it demonstrates that the integration of parking and ride services can lead to higher profits, improved driver and passenger benefits, and reduced road congestion.

Summary: Cities worldwide are trying to find more efficient ways to solve the common parking problems in urban areas. This study proposes a solution for monitoring and collecting data on curbside parking using roadside LiDAR systems. By using laser beam variation detection, this solution can extract important information about parking usage.

Summary: The arrival of autonomous vehicles will revolutionize the parking experience, with passengers being dropped off directly at their destination while the AVs search for parking. Research shows that AVs tend to park farther away to reduce search time, while conventional vehicles park closer to minimize walking distance. Furthermore, higher penetration rates of AVs can lead to reduced travel costs for both AVs and CVs.

Summary: Parking lots are highly polluted due to congestion and driver frustration caused by vehicles searching for parking spaces. However, there is limited research on open parking lots, particularly on the magnitude of CO2 emissions and cruising. A new study aims to estimate these factors by analyzing thermal camera videos and cruising trajectories.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel methodology to estimate the marginal external cruising time (and thus cost) across time and space, which is easier to implement, requires less data, estimates the whole distribution rather than the average, and does not require parking to be near full occupancy. By applying this methodology to Melbourne, rich policy insights are generated.

Summary: The cruising feature of self-driving cars can cause congestion and inefficiencies in the transportation system. Economic instruments, planning tools, and parking-as-a-substitute-for-cruising can be used to address these issues.

Summary: This study investigates the strategy of allocating road space as parking for electric ride-sourcing vehicles (ERVs) to reduce cruising. The results show that providing parking increases ride-sourcing demand, reduces charging demand, and increases profit and social welfare.

Summary: This paper analyzes the factors influencing average cruising time related to parking search using empirical data and proposes a framework to predict grid-based ACT and estimate average emission metrics. The study finds that residential area, retail area, accommodation, and food services employees are the most significant factors affecting ACT, and temporary pickups/drop-offs and commercial delivery are also important sources of parking search.

Summary: This paper models the joint equilibrium of destination and parking choices in cities under hybrid supply of curbside parking and shared parking. The existence and uniqueness/non-uniqueness of the joint equilibrium are discussed, as well as the pricing strategies of private and public shared parking operators and their relationship to travelers' choices. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the model and analytical results, providing further understanding.

Summary: Reducing curbside illegal parking is crucial for urban parking management, but there is a lack of research on this topic. A questionnaire survey was conducted in Nanjing to analyze the factors influencing curbside illegal parking behavior. The study found that driver factors, traffic conditions, parking facilities, and environment are important variables. A structural equation model showed that parking facilities and driver factors have a positive impact on curbside illegal parking behavior, while the environment has a negative impact. The study suggests measures such as promoting traffic regulation awareness and strengthening penalties to address this issue.

Summary: The spatio-temporal imbalance of parking demand and supply leads to cruising-for-parking traffic of conventional vehicles. Autonomous vehicles can mitigate parking shortage by self-relocating, but their uninformed floating trips may worsen congestion. A centralized parking dispatch method is proposed to optimize AV distribution and regional route guidance, showing effective reduction of cruising-for-parking traffic and improved network performance under various conditions.

Summary: The study finds that flight ticket taxes have a significant impact on low-cost airlines' supply and carbon emissions, resulting in a decrease of 12% in the number of flights and a 14% reduction in carbon emissions. Additionally, the burden of the taxes is higher for passengers paying low fares, affecting avoidable flights more significantly.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between multimodality and perceived transport adequacy and accessibility. The results show that multimodality is burdensome, especially for car-dependent individuals, and leads to lower perceived achievement or accessibility for those with limited access to a car.

Summary: This paper presents the Framework of RoUtIne Transitions in daily travel (FRUIT), which analyzes the impact of life events on travel behavior changes and identifies the critical phases in this process. By integrating theories and concepts, the framework provides a theoretical basis for interventions aimed at improving sustainable travel. The applicability of FRUIT is illustrated through an empirical case, and the implications for future research and policy are discussed.

Summary: This study investigates the resilience evaluation of interdependent networks. A model is developed to quantify the impacts of network interdependency on the resilience of interdependent transit networks, considering interdependency relations, network topology, flow characteristics, and demand distribution. The model is applied to the metro and bus networks of Xi'an, China. Results show that node degree heterogeneity in topology, bidirectional function dependency among networks, and flow matching between networks are important factors influencing network resilience.

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 addresses the research gaps in understanding the effect of regression models, measurement period, and spatial dependence on Freight Trip Generation (FTG) modeling and freight-related policies. The results show that the spatial Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) model is the best for daily and weekly Freight Trip Production (FTP), while the non-spatial Negative Binomial (NB) model is the best for daily and weekly Freight Trip Attraction (FTA). The study also highlights the importance of considering spatial dependence and using count models with a week as the measurement period.
