Summary: Working from Home (WFH) has been identified as a crucial measure to reduce transport demand and support sustainable transport systems in cities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, WFH has fundamentally changed commuter travel behavior and it is expected that a hybrid-work model will emerge post-COVID-19. The attributes that support WFH are mainly concentrated at the individual and workplace levels, with the workplace playing a key role in providing necessary equipment and policies for long-term WFH implementation.

Summary: This scoping review investigated a comprehensive overview of the health impacts related to telework based on studies conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that telework is potentially associated with a shift to healthier lifestyles but may also lead to an increase in sedentary time. Mental stress indicators depend on social and individual situations, and very few intervention studies on teleworking existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: This study investigated the public knowledge and confidence in understanding local restrictions, motivation to adhere to restrictions, and self-reported behavior in different tier levels in England. It found that the recognition of the local tier level was high, but knowledge of specific guidance for tiers varied. Older individuals and those living in less deprived areas displayed higher confidence, while motivation to adhere to restrictions was associated with being female and older. People in tiers with greater restrictions were less likely to socially meet people from another household, but rates of going out for exercise and work did not differ.

Summary: This study introduces a method to enhance purpose imputation from global positioning system data by selecting relevant features, showing that the addition of actual or predicted travel modes improves imputation performance, with actual modes having a stronger effect. The newly adopted MFVP feature contributes to better prediction results, and the purpose-imputation models utilizing all features achieve high accuracy levels on both datasets.

Summary: The present study investigates the impact of psychological factors on passengers' intention to use on-demand shared ride-hailing (OSR) services. The results confirm the relevance of attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and social norms in determining usage intention. Additionally, perceived risk negatively influences usage intention, while price sensitivity and perceived green value influence usage intention through attitudes. The findings also suggest that the impact of perceived green value on usage intention is higher among females and varies among income groups.

Summary: This study explores the health and safety issues facing delivery riders in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, during the Covid-19 pandemic. The findings suggest that some riders are less consistent in adopting health and safety measures, which is associated with their gender, age, education level, vaccination status, financial pressure, and income loss. Job pressure, long working hours, and financial burdens contribute to risky traffic behaviors among riders. On the other hand, support from the company and co-workers helps improve riders' adherence to health prevention measures.

Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing the online shopping continuance intention of Generation Y and Z during the new normal. The results reveal that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, satisfaction, and environmental awareness are facilitators of repurchase intention, while perceived risks of online shopping act as a barrier. Personalization has indirect effects through perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and satisfaction. The risk of COVID-19 is not a predictor of online repurchase intention.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the factors influencing motorcyclists' intention to use electric vehicles in motorcycle-dependent countries like Vietnam. The results show that safety and environmental concerns are significant push factors, while perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and financial incentives are significant pull factors. Both push and pull factors significantly contribute to the adoption intention, with pull factors having a stronger effect. Knowledge does not directly affect the intention, but it moderates the relationship between the pull factor and the intention.

Summary: Illegal motorcycle riding is common among teenagers in many low and middle-income countries, leading to accidents and disastrous consequences. This study aims to understand the factors behind this behavior and why parents permit it. Findings reveal that 61% of teenagers engage in illegal motorcycle riding, enabled by parents who view motorcycles as useful and easy to use. Social acceptance and perception of weak road rule enforcement also contribute, while perceived crash risk acts as a deterrent.
