Evaluating transit-oriented development (TOD) efficiency in metro station areas remains challenging, as the traditional “Node–Place” model gives limited consideration to guiding factors and struggles to account for inter-regional fl...
Exploring the relationship between land use characteristics and ridership in railway station areas provides crucial decision-making support for station area planning. Previous research has mostly focused on subways, with a lack of studies on the land...
This study examines patterns of ridership recovery across Seoul subway stations following the COVID-19 pandemic and identifies the factors associated with recovery stagnation. To this end, we apply cluster analysis, Markov transition analysis, and bi...
This study aims to analyze bike-sharing information and related urban factors to promote bike-sharing utilization in Houston, Texas. The research was initiated with a descriptive analysis, where the hourly and daily variations in bike demand are inve...
Predicting electricity demand in emerging economies is challenging as congested cities are exposed to unpredictable mobility patterns, weather sensitivity, and global pandemics such as COVID-19. Although mass public transportation systems have long s...
In recent years, a growing number of large, densely populated cities have emerged, which need urban traffic planning and therefore knowledge of mobility patterns. Knowledge of space-time distribution of passengers in cities is necessary for effective...
Population aging is a pressing global issue. As it progresses, older adults’ demand for public transport will increase. Ensuring their equitable access is vital for social equity. Meanwhile, physiological changes and travel preferences in older...
As an emerging mode of transport, bike-sharing is being quickly accepted by Chinese residents due to its convenience and environmental friendliness. As hotspots for bike-sharing, railway-station service areas attract thousands of bikes during peak ho...
The rapid growth of transportation network companies (TNCs) has reshaped the traditional taxi market in many modern cities around the world. This study aims to explore the spatiotemporal variations of built environment on traditional taxis (TTs) and...
Public transit demand forecasting is a foundational component of sustainable urban mobility, enabling efficient operation, equitable service provision, and planning of public transit systems. Urban imagery, such as aerial images, contains rich inform...
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Montreal implemented pro-cycling measures and enhanced its cycling infrastructure, notably by the introduction of the Réseau Express Vélo (REV), an extensive network of separated high-capacity bike lanes in...
Bus lanes with intermittent prioritization (BLIPs) have been proposed as a way to reduce traffic burden and improve air quality along busy urban streets; however, to date, the impacts of BLIPs on local-scale air quality have not been thoroughly evalu...
Forest therapy bases are essential ecological recreational locations to promote mental and physical health while at the same time allowing people to enjoy and appreciate the forest. The article took Japan, where the development of forest therapy is i...
Transit smart card records detail travel information of passengers, which provides abundant data for analyzing public travel patterns. Regular travelers’ information extracted from smart card data (SCD) have been extensively analyzed. However,...
This study is designed to leverage ubiquitous mobile computing techniques on exploring app-based taxi movement patterns in large cities. To study patterns at different scales, we comprehensively explore both occupied and unoccupied vehicle movement c...
