Summary: The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend of working from home, which is driven by digitization. This study investigates the optimistic view that reducing commuting trips can lower carbon emissions, from a long-term perspective in a monocentric urban model. The findings show that while fewer trips lead to the choice of less fuel-efficient vehicles in the medium run, in the long run, lower driving costs and cheaper housing lead households to change their location towards longer commuting trips, offsetting the initial environmental benefits.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between switching from commuting to working from home (WFH) during the COVID-19 pandemic and subjective wellbeing (SWB). The results show that the transition to WFH has a positive effect on affective wellbeing in the short term, but this effect becomes insignificant after specific experiences of WFH are taken into account. The impact of switching to WFH on SWB is moderated by pre-pandemic commuting behavior, with long-distance commuters reporting better affective wellbeing and commuters who frequently walked or cycled to work experiencing worse SWB outcomes after switching to WFH.

Summary: This paper examines the commuting patterns of older workers, including those who work beyond age 65, compared to younger counterparts. The study finds that living in rural areas and recent migration are associated with longer commute distances.

Summary: The study found that non-commuting trips are a significant source of travel demand for car commuters, with longer working hours associated with a lower probability of engaging in non-commuting trips. Additionally, non-commuting trips starting at different times have varying demand elasticities, likely due to different travel constraints associated with certain trip purposes.

Summary: This study analyzed the behavior characteristics and commuting patterns of commuting vehicles using LPR data from Hangzhou, China. Various algorithms were used for analysis, and commuting rules were extracted. The results show that commuting vehicles exhibit stability during high frequency travel time periods on workdays, highlighting the importance of commuting vehicles for travel policy formulation and public transit network design.

Summary: The study conducted at the University of Maribor focused on commuting behavior, particularly at the four technical faculties. The research analyzed questionnaire surveys and transport policies implemented from 2010 to 2020. The findings revealed a shift towards active commuting among students and a decrease in car use. Gender differences were observed, with female students more likely to walk and male students more likely to cycle or drive. Staff commuting patterns remained unchanged, with no significant gender difference. The mode shifts were influenced by trip origins, bus subsidies, parking availability, and fees. The study emphasized the importance of coordinating transport policies with housing policies for more effective results.

Summary: The research demonstrates that socioeconomic factors are crucial determinants of commuting transportation mode choice, with factors such as age, lower socioeconomic class, and educational attainment being associated with the use of public transit and non-motorized travel. Bike use is positively correlated with distance to the city center, density of public transit stations, street intersection density, and flat surfaces, while walk commuting patterns follow a u-shaped curve with respect to the city center.

Summary: This study conducted at the University of Leon analyzed University commuting behaviors, environmental implications, and barriers to implementing sustainable mobility. Differences were found in commuting habits based on work status, with men students more likely to use bicycles and motorcycles and women workers relying on cars. Main barriers identified were unsafe cycle paths, theft at university, bus fares, and frequency of service. Measures to minimize these barriers could lead to significant reductions in non-renewable cumulative energy demand.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a reevaluation of telecommuting, with more people working from home. This study compares the characteristics and behavior of those who started telecommuting during the pandemic with those who had already been telecommuting, and identifies differences in terms of experience and household configurations.

Summary: Through empirical analysis, this study reveals that in the Indian context, a large percentage of employees can achieve their desired productivity by working from home. Additionally, the 'rebound' effect as identified in the literature seems to have little impact in the Indian context.

Summary: Promoting sustainable commuting is important in tackling the climate crisis, with organizations playing a key role. This study conceptualized and validated the Organizational Climate for Sustainable Commuting (OCSC) scale in Italian, showing a unidimensional structure, high reliability, and validity. The proposed concept and scale provide a new perspective and tool for promoting sustainable commuting in the workplace.

Summary: Research on passenger activities on electrified intercity railways found that line attributes, passenger gender, age, and seat availability have an impact on passenger activities. Factors affecting passenger activities also vary according to the nature of travel, whether for commute or leisure.

Summary: This paper analyzes the switching thresholds of travelers under different patterns of information through an experimental platform and Probit regression method. The results demonstrate that the switching threshold under real-time information is lower than that under historical information, and travelers have a slight tendency to pursue risk. The proposed method in this study effectively quantifies the degree of bounded rationality.

Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing intentions and behavior towards nonmotorized transport use by middle-income working adults in Chittagong City Corporation area of Bangladesh, using three behavioral models. Personal factors such as attitude, subjective norm, and behavioral control were found to influence intentions and motivation towards choosing NMT, while factors associated with the social, cultural, and built environment also played a significant role in nonmotorized mode choice behavior.

Summary: This research suggests that although partners benefiting from flexible work arrangements tend to take on household and maintenance activities, task allocation within the household remains asymmetrical, with the presence of children intensifying activity allocation and household arrangements, thus increasing gender inequalities.
