Ignacio Tiznado-Aitken, Matthew Palm, y  Steven Farber Abstract Crises are an opportunity to learn, and transportation is no exception. The dramatic reduction in mobility levels during COVID-19, the slow recovery of transit ridership and new trends such as remote working have raised essential questions for the future of public transport. Our work focuses on... read more →

João Pedro Figueira Amorim Parga, Ignacio Tiznado - Aitken, Shaila Jamal, Steven Farber, Anton Yu y  Christopher Higgins Abstract Addressing inadequate accessibility in suburban areas is crucial for reducing inequalities in transportation and improving suburbanites’ well-being. Afterall, insufficient accessibility to health is linked to worse health conditions. Moreover, urban sprawl, subpar transit, and automobile dependency prevail in suburbs, making them... read more →

I. Made Sukmayasa, Jaime Soza-Parra & Dick Ettema ABSTRACT Mobility and accessibility challenges faced by adolescents aged 12 to 18 are increasingly recognised. However, research from developing countries often overlooks this demographic group. This literature review advances research by identifying the determinants of accessibility to transportation modes and adaptive strategies for... read more →

Jaime Soza-Parra, Oded Cats Abstract An excessive use of private cars for transportation has multiple negative effects on our society. It is therefore paramount to identify the underlying factors driving car usage among different segments of travellers. In this study, we aim to identify and characterise traveller segments in terms of their car-related... read more →

Diana P. Moreno-Palacio, Carlos A. Gonzalez-Calderon, Héctor López-Ospina, Jhan Kevin Gil-Marin & John Jairo Posada-Henao Abstract This paper presents an improved entropy-based freight tour synthesis (FTS) using fuzzy logic (FL). One approach used in formulating FTS models is entropy maximization, which aims to obtain the most probable freight (trucks) tour flow distribution in a network... read more →

Paul Basnak, Ricardo Giesen, y Juan Carlos Muñoz Abstract Although there are various studies that evaluate the optimal design of public transport systems in radial structures, there are few that analyse which urban characteristics are relevant to recommend different public transport modes, particularly in small towns that lack the resources needed for such studies. Based... read more →

Andres Fielbaum, Alejandro Tirachini, Javier Alonso-Mora Abstract Ride-sourcing companies have worsened congestion in numerous cities worldwide, as many users are attracted from more sustainable modes. To reverse this trend, it is crucial to leverage the technology of connecting users and vehicles online and use it to strengthen public transport, which can be achieved by integrating... read more →

Louis de Grange, Felipe González, Matthieu Marechal, Rodrigo Troncoso Abstract A methodology is developed for obtaining consistent moment estimators of the parameters in probit models that include both exogenous and endogenous variables. The approach is based on the use of instrumental variables in the formulation of moment conditions in order to solve a system of equations from... read more →

Ricardo de la Paz Guala, Cristián E. Cortés, Benjamin Heydecker & Pablo A. Rey Abstract In dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) models, it seems relevant to consider the uncertainty inherent to motorist route choices. Particularly, choices on realistic transport networks are mostly made using motorists' perceived costs of all routes from their... read more →

Catalina Mendoza Leal, Rocío Coloma, Diego Ponce, Benjamín Alarcón, Maricarmen Guerra, Alejandra Stehr, Juan Antonio Carrasco, Hernán Alcayaga, Octavio Rojas, Felipe Link & Oscar Link ABSTRACT Two behavioural types in sociohydrology of floods have been described in more detail than others: the levee effect and the learning effect. However, additional types... read more →
