While existing literature has extensively explored the impact of online shopping on travel behavior, few studies have undertaken segmentation analysis to uncover hidden behavioral heterogeneity. This study fills this gap by addressing heterogeneity and identifying distinct shopper segments based behaviors, with a focus product types. Data collected in November December 2021 from 1,747 shoppers Florida were analyzed using Latent Class Analysis (LCA) covariates. Sociodemographic residential characteristics, COVID-19 influences, attitudes, perceptions channel-specific factors served as active inactive covariates predict class membership. Our model identified six classes shoppers, short-distance dual-channel representing largest (28.4%) exclusive smallest (6.2%). Dual-channel shopaholics, overrepresented Gen Zers, Millennials, Blacks, workers, exhibited high average monthly vehicle miles traveled (VMT) across all types strong potential for complementary behavior. Conversely, members silent generation, those who live alone, no vehicle, do not enjoy shopping, demonstrated substitutive In general, single-channel showed lower VMT than their counterparts These findings contribute deeper understanding offering insights more accurate quantification net traffic environmental impacts e-commerce. Additionally, they provide valuable considerations designing segment-specific policies aimed at minimizing maximizing shopping.

Car-centred development adds significantly to the climate change threat our planet faces. Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a concept looking generate modal shift via digital and physical integration of alternative on-demand transport services. Recent research raises concerns, however, that contrary hype, MaaS may result in unsustainable travel behaviour. On one hand, future users are now primarily drivers not be ready away from their cars, while on other hand people regularly using public substitute some these journeys with MaaS-enabled car-sharing, ride-sharing ride-hailing Herein, we study effects intentions own car trips car-centric services UK- based quantitative survey. We use Principal Component Analysis Ordinal Regression Modelling see how MaaS-related perceptions referring Added Value, Car Use Convenience Enjoyment, Human Element Externalities, Trust Functionality, Cost Incentives, Morality, Enabling Technology Ownership Necessity affect usage intentions. Our results highlight some, typically less discussed, grey areas inform design policies, including service disincentivitisation, responsible user benefits, rebranding investment prioritisation.

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) provides travelers with a single digital travel platform that integrates information, booking, and payment considerable discounts. Existing MaaS studies mainly focus on commuters' daily mobility instead of tourists' during their stay at destinations. However, the tourist market is potential but neglected market. To explore preference for bundled services, this research examines heterogeneity tourist-specific bundles among 491 Taiwanese tourists by using latent class choice model. The experiments are designed seven bundle attributes, including public transport, shared bike, e-moped, car, shopping discount, attraction ticket discount price. Three classes, namely, Skeptics, Supporters, Enthusiasts, identified based upon three attitudinal variables (hedonic motivation, Attitude toward mobile application factor) as well socioeconomic characteristics. results provided evidence various classes in Taiwan. Class profiles scenario analyses pro-MaaS propensity were conducted to provide deeper insights into variations. Implications recommendations developing more customized herein.

Abstract Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has recently gained popularity an opportunity to encourage more sustainable mobility model and improve urban liveability. Today, it is still uncertain if travellers are willing uptake MaaS transform their habits. In the paper, we explore individuals’ behavioural intention based on survey comprising 418 respondents in metropolitan area of Randstad (The Netherlands). The application Structural Equation Model allows uncover series explanatory (attitudinal personality) factors relevant for acceptance. Then, cluster analysis determines four profiles relation embrace this new solution: ‘Short-duration commuters’, ‘Active travellers’, ‘Traditional car-supporters’, ‘MaaS admirers’. Overall, identify three main barriers potential adoption MaaS: low willingness combine different modes transport, affinity with technology, reliability services. We also recognise that environmental concerns seem frustrate innovativeness.

Understanding vehicle travel behavior patterns is crucial for effectively managing urban traffic congestion and mitigating the associated risks excessive emissions. Existing research predominantly focuses on commuting patterns, with limited attention given to spatiotemporal characteristics of other behaviors, sparse investigation into emissions these patterns. To address this gap, present study examines various their emissions, using one week License Plate Recognition (LPR) data from megacity expressway network. First, we classify vehicles different modes based features extracted LPR propose a scalable mode recognition method suitable large-scale applications. We then assess each estimate resulting congestion. The findings reveal notable differences in among modes, bimodal distribution influenced by temporal rhythm flow. Furthermore, although commercial constitute only one-third total population, attributed are comparable those privately owned vehicles. This suggests that focusing exclusively may underestimate both results not deepen our understanding relationship between individual but also support optimization personal time health management, providing foundation development personalized proactive demand management strategies.
