Accounting for inertia in multimodal route choice behaviour: The case of a new metro line in Santiago

If people repeat choices in daily travel behaviour under stable conditions, over time this can form habitual travel behaviour and lead to inertia. If travellers face a new metro line, to what extent does their habitual travel behaviour affect their willingness to use this new transport alternative. This study investigate the inertia effects in a...

Deadly meals: The influence of personal and job factors on burnout and risky riding behaviours of food delivery motorcyclists

Food delivery riders are overrepresented in road crashes. Arguably, the increased risk experienced by food delivery riders is linked to the working conditions offered by the “gig economy”. Research is needed to fully understand the safety-related issues this vulnerable group of road users face daily and identify opportunities for counter...

Factors influencing road safety compliance among food delivery riders: An extension of the job demands-resources (JD-R) model

On-demand food delivery involves transport services based on gig-economy models. Food delivery services rely on motorcycles in many jurisdictions, resulting in safety risks. Motorcycles are generally-two-wheeled and therefore inherently unstable. They also lack rider restraint or roll cage to minimise the consequences of a collision. Given the...

Evaluating Novel Matrix-Vector Multiplication Strategies in the LSTRS and TRUSTµ Methods for Large-Scale Trust-Region Subproblems and Regularization

In the regularization of ill-posed problems from image restoration, where we want to recover an image from blurred and noisy data, there are many methods that can be useful. Among those, the TRUSTmu method proposed in Rojas and Steihaug, 2002, is an efficient method for solving large-scale regularization problems with additional non-negativity...
