Quantifying the heterogeneous impacts of the urban built environment on traffic carbon emissions: New insights from machine learning techniques

The configuration of the urban built environment is critical for promoting sustainability and achieving carbon neutrality. However, existing studies mostly use linear and spatial econometric models to investigate the relationship between urban built environments and traffic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, in-depth studies exploring...

Uncovering and modeling the hierarchical organization of urban heavy truck flows

Knowledge of the hierarchical organization of urban heavy truck flows is important for understanding the structure of urban freight system and underlying interactions dynamics, providing insights to assess and develop freight policies. The complexity and dynamic nature of urban freight system pose significant challenges in comprehensively...

Estimating intercity heavy truck mobility flows using the deep gravity framework

Accurate estimation of intercity heavy truck mobility flows is of vital importance to urban planning, transportation management and logistics operations. The inaccessibility of big data related to intercity transport systems and the heterogeneity of trucking activities pose challenges for the reliable estimation. Recently, the advance of...
