E-scooter sharing services been grown exponentially within the last five years. They are based on flexibility of accessing dense urban areas without specialized infrastructure. In modern cities, there diverse road environments that impact comfort, and therefore attractiveness, micro-mobility services. This study aims to investigate willingness use e-scooter services, while considering environment. To formulate area-specific pricing policies, a stated preferences experiment with 243 respondents, who can be considered as potential users, is conducted in Athens, Greece binary logistic regression model random beta parameters developed. The analysis marginal effects indicates integration bonus points into combined option transferring these parking compensate non-friendly environment, thus increasing service demand. existence roads good pavement conditions wide sidewalks significantly increased respondents Unexpectedly, pedestrianized zones buffer area 2 km radius from trip origin reinforce attractiveness shared e-scooters, contribution bike lanes traffic calming streets (or space) were proven insignificant.

Bicycle-oriented multimodality (cycling and fixed-route public transport) could be considered as an efficient tool in developing a sustainable transport system offering adequate services to everyone. This study, therefore, explores whether can support equity metropolitan urban environment. To this end, combinatorial approach is adopted; specifically, spatial accessibility well horizontal vertical measures related four scenarios illustrating different futures are estimated. These the following: (a) existing transport, (b) addition of new metro line, (c) cycling network, (d) both line network. method applied Athens Metropolitan Area (AMA) Greece which comprises challenging example car-oriented metropolis. The main results indicate that bicycle-oriented influences positively; however, when it comes (both vertical), require further analysis. Fully multimodal (Scenario 3) do not lead better equity, or they low-income groups; on contrary, balanced solutions 2) illustrated most equitable conditions. findings indeed surprising, indicating researchers practitioners planning should embrace holistic ways achieve equity.

Nowadays, there is an ever-increasing acceptance regarding opinion that use sustainable urban has potential to offer great social, economic, benefits. This study examines highlights, via systematic literature review, environment’s factors can essentially influence promotion usage cargo bikes for last-mile deliveries environment. aforementioned review revealed importance quality components perceived objective safety people who make bikes. In particular, most essential increased were found be traffic load, speed limits, heavy vehicle traffic. Bicycle infrastructure also important factor bicycling acceptance, as it provides backbone comfortable safe bicycle ride.

Abstract Urban road networks play a crucial role in transport and urban planning have the potential to contribute more sustainable futures if their hierarchy is properly understood. However, concept of network hierarchy, which refers street classification prioritization, not well defined within domain engineering management, leaving many questions unanswered. Is it simply tool, or does extend defining essence cities? qualitative quantitative concept? Does emerge organically require proactive planning? Given lack comprehensive answers these questions, this research aims provide contextual understanding through lens futures. To purpose, we conducted systematic literature review, an effective method for consolidating knowledge on specific topic. A total 42 articles were analyzed using both bibliometric analysis content analysis. Our work demonstrates that consists 16 sub-concepts. Four main trends identified discussed: a) morphology structure, b) advanced algorithms classification, c) integrated planning, d) social dimension classification. Recent indicates shift toward alternative approaches prioritize mobility over car-centric models. In conclusion, our reveals multifaceted yet under researched “vehicle change,” which, utilized effectively, offers opportunities reimagine environments.

Despite the expected future introduction of autonomous vehicles in cities, very few studies have analysed needs and challenges facing urban planning. This paper employs a combination backcasting Q-methodology to carry out participatory visioning for driverless city. novel approach was used elaborate shared visions desirable city among group 20 citizens 10 practitioners. Views on 41 statements were relating design, society, environment, transport mobility needs. Three main identified. The first focuses high-quality spaces active mobility. second vision is more futuristic pro-social, consistent with imaginative innovative stance young people. third conventional closer business-as-usual. results suggest that there some agreement conditions policies, especially need environmentally friendly development safe design. article premised belief engaging stakeholders from different backgrounds, including various ages, can be enriching planning since wide variety heterogeneous preferences across society. requires search common ground when designing policy measures satisfy multiple interests.

The limited availability of mobility data makes it challenging to model demand, especially its spatiotemporal variations. Simultaneously, traditional transport modeling tools often rely on less disaggregated approaches, leading gaps in understanding. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces the spectral clustering method uncover major demand patterns considering various modes. It focuses Athens, Greece, and utilizes a set 1347 reported trips. reveals six distinct trip clusters. first group, “an evening stroll nearby”, captures short distance tours typically undertaken by walking. second cluster, “my work is nearby but I use my car” highlights significant trend where individuals with commutes, than 6 km, predominantly private cars. third “commuting metro”, features long-distance trips primarily for work. fourth cluster work-related cars, favored active residents high income. fifth pattern, “trips young people”, involves midnight recreational moderate-distance morning education, an increased usage public transport. sixth concerns activities. findings indicate that cluster’s reliance cars problematic. Reducing should be priority policymakers.
