Sustainable Planning of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
A Bi-Level Optimization Framework for Reducing Vehicular Emissions in Urban Road Networks
This paper proposes a decision-making framework for a multiple-period planning of electric vehicle (EV) charging station development. In this proposed framework, transportation planners seek to implement a phased provision of electric charging stations as well as repurposing gas

Optimizing demand-responsive IoT-based waste collection services
A two-step clustering technique
The Internet of Things (IoT) can bring radical advancements in the domain of waste collection, as it enables the organization of demand-responsive schedules which leads to higher efficiency operations. One major challenge in the deployment of demand-responsive schedules, neverthe

Paths, Proofs, and Perfection
Developing a Human-Interpretable Proof System for Constrained Shortest Paths
People want to rely on optimization algorithms for complex decisions but verifying the optimality of the solutions can then become a valid concern, particularly for critical decisions taken by non-experts in optimization. One example is the shortest-path problem on a network, occ

Mode substitution induced by electric mobility hubs
Results from Amsterdam
Electric mobility hubs (eHUBS) are locations where multiple shared electric modes including electric cars and e-bikes are available. To assess their potential to reduce private car use, it is important to investigate to what extent people would switch to eHUBS modes after their i

The Road Network Design Problem for the Deployment of Automated Vehicles (RNDP-AVs)
A Nonlinear Programming Mathematical Model
Once trusted, automated vehicles (AVs) will gradually appear in urban areas. Such a transition is an opportunity in transport planning to control undesired impacts and possibly mitigate congestion at a time when both conventional vehicles (CVs) and AVs coexist. This paper deals w

The introduction of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) provides a significant opportunity to address the persistently increasing problem of urban traffic congestion. By virtue of their connectivity and automation features, CAVs can reduce vehicle headways, thereby increasin

eHUBS are physical locations that integrate two or more electric shared mobility modes. As they provide transport users easier access to a wide range of transport modes, multimodal behaviour is expected to be more common. However, this issue has not been addressed in previous sta

Difficulty in finding parking spaces and high parking fees discourage private car usage. Fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) capable of self-parking away from destinations will likely remove this barrier. Despite extensive survey-based research on AVs in recent years, existing litera

This paper presents a hybrid system dynamics and agent-based model to simulate the dynamic evolution of consumer preferences for parcel delivery. Scenarios provide insight about preference development and capacity growth of delivery services.@en
Ride experience in automated minibuses
Measuring users' transport mode preferences before and after a test ride
In the present study, we explored the influence of ride experience in automated minibuses (AmBs) on transport mode choice that includes the automated shuttles as well as conventional transport options (car, bus and bicycle) on the first-/ last-mile stage of rail trips. We used th

Driving factors behind station-based car sharing adoption
Discovering distinct user profiles through a latent class cluster analysis
In light of growing environmental challenges, the need to reconsider how we approach personal transportation is becoming increasingly evident. A shift from a private car-focused mobility system towards a more sustainable and equitable transportation system is needed. Car sharing

Dynamics of freight transport decarbonization
A simulation study for Brazil
Freight transport decarbonization is challenging due to the slow implementation of policies to meet climate goals. This paper analyzes the dynamics of the implementation of freight decarbonization measures. A System Dynamics model was developed and applied to the Brazilian freigh

Assessing the spatial transferability of mode choice models
A case of shared electric mobility hubs (eHUBS) in Amsterdam and Manchester
Electric mobility hubs (eHUBS) represent an innovative approach to providing diverse shared electric transportation options, aimed at curbing private car use, and mitigating associated environmental impacts. Assessing the impact of eHUBS on travel choices across different cities

Planning shared mobility hubs in European cities
A methodological framework using MCDA and GIS applied to Barcelona
In the move towards sustainable urban mobility through seamless
intermodality, European cities are faced with the possibility of
implementing shared mobility systems. They constitute an opportunity to
create new urban hubs, considered as nodes of intermodality and places
