Summary: Cycling to work is relatively common in certain metros and neighbourhoods in the USA, despite being uncommon in most areas. This spatial heterogeneity is often attributed to differences in local geography, with some areas deemed more suitable for cycling. However, this study finds that climate and topography have little to no influence on the share of workers cycling to work across metros, as well as on individual workers' choice to cycle.

Summary: This paper examines the relationship between three key dimensions in transport modeling: residential location, mobility tool ownership, and mode choice. The findings suggest that the accessibility of residential locations influences the ownership of public transport season tickets and the preference for public transport over cars. Additionally, the study demonstrates that income has a positive impact on car ownership, with higher-income individuals tending to live in areas with higher accessibility and lower car usage. Furthermore, when considering longer-term decisions, the short-term effects of level-of-service attributes on mode choice decrease by more than 20%.

Summary: The use of conventional internal combustion-engine vehicles for commuting is influenced by a combination of factors such as physical infrastructure, car ownership, social norms, and beliefs, making it a challenge to transition to more climate-friendly commuting behavior. The institutionalization of ICV use in Norway and other developed economies reflects a long process of integration into people's lives, making it difficult to change behaviors.

Summary: Travel mode selection is crucial for traffic distribution and forecasting in a transportation system. This study examines the factors influencing commuters' mode choice and finds that walking distance, travel distance, and comfort have a significant impact on travel choice. The study also identifies walking distance as a random parameter that reflects commuter diversity.

Summary: We propose an optimal-transport-based matching method to nonparametrically estimate linear models with independent latent variables. The method generates pseudo-observations from the latent variables and minimizes the Euclidean distance between the model's predictions and their matched counterparts in the data. Through analyzing panel data, we find that the dispersion of income shocks is approximately acyclical, whereas the skewness of permanent shocks is procyclical. Comparatively, the dispersion and skewness of shocks to hourly wages show little variation with the business cycle.

Summary: Shifting away from private vehicle use in urban areas is necessary for decarbonisation of mobility. This paper analyzes mode choice in commuting and grocery shopping journeys, taking into account attitudes, socio-economic factors, and journey characteristics. Results show that commuters more sensitive to negative transport externalities prefer private vehicles, suggesting a paradox in the perception of these externalities.

Summary: Increasing sustainable travel patterns requires research on travel mode choice. Improving public transport service quality can lead to a shift from cars to public transport. This study aimed to examine the correlation between commuting mode choice and multi-regional integrated ticketing. The results showed that integrated ticketing has a positive effect on promoting public transport use, particularly among male car commuters.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of walking facilities and risk-taking on pedestrians' crossing behavior in Iran. Through data analysis, four different types of pedestrian groups were identified, and a Multinomial Logit Model was developed. The results can help in selecting more suitable locations for overpasses and crosswalks installation based on pedestrians' behavior.

Summary: Various food safety and environmental problems in China have raised consumer awareness of food safety issues and negative environmental impacts. This research assessed consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for food safety and ecosystem delivery attributes associated with apples, demonstrated through the application of different traceability systems. The results indicated significant consumer preferences for traceability information, including in relation to lower pesticide usage and application of organic fertilizer during primary production. The models demonstrated heterogeneous preferences among participants, dividing them into three classes: non-price-sensitive (53.5%), pesticide-sensitive (21.7%), and price-sensitive (24.8%).

Summary: Studies on fatal crashes involving large trucks primarily focus on individual injury severity rather than crash severity. This study proposes a data-specific transformation approach, identifying crash-level severity using a two-step clustering method and investigating influential factors using a Bayesian network. The results highlight the determinants of crash injury severity, including the number of vehicles involved, collision manner, truck-airbag deployment, overturn of vehicles, driver's speeding offense, and gross vehicle weight.

Summary: This study uses binary logistic regression to analyze survey data for 1,298 residents living in TOD areas in Hangzhou to examine the impacts of TOD on residents' travel behavior. The results show that socioeconomic characteristics, built environment factors, and travel attitudes play important roles in influencing their travel mode choices. Additionally, the number of children in households and higher levels of car ownership significantly influence residents' sustainable travel behavior. However, only a limited number of factors can convince car users to shift to sustainable modes of travel.

Summary: As the global population continues to age, the importance of providing improved mobility services for older people becomes increasingly crucial. This study investigates the use of station-based bike sharing (SBBS) and dockless bike sharing (DBS) in relation to older population mobility, using multiple data sources including trip records, point of interest data, and meteorological conditions. The study finds that SBBS outperforms DBS in terms of age equity, and that there are diverse travel behavior patterns among different age groups. Additionally, older users travel more frequently and are more likely to use shared bikes near religious and health points of interest, as well as in higher population density areas. This study provides valuable insights for improving transport equity and service in bike sharing systems.

Summary: Shared micro-mobility has been growing rapidly, and the coordinated development of different modes can improve urban public transport connectivity. This study compared the spatial and temporal patterns of station-based bikeshare systems (SBBS) and free-floating bikeshare systems (FFBS) with the metro. The results showed that SBBS were mainly used as feeder mode in downtown metro stations, while FFBS-metro integration was more dispersed at peripheral stations and covered wider time periods.

Summary: Car-dominated daily travel has caused severe urban problems, and the relationship between car dependency and the built environment remains complex. This study reveals that living in high-density areas and increasing pedestrian-oriented road density can reduce car reliance. Moreover, diverse land use and destination accessibility also play a role in decreasing car use. These findings can guide urban planners in developing targeted interventions to reduce car dependency.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel fusion framework for driver behaviour recognition that utilizes traffic scene and driver gaze information. The framework is based on a graph neural network (GNN) and consists of three modules: gaze analyzing (GA) module, scene understanding (SU) module, and information fusion (IF) module. The proposed framework demonstrates superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods for driving behaviour recognition in various situations.
