Abstract:

Accessibility is one of the most important outcomes of the transportation system. Public transport can be more attractive by providing "Door to door mobility" and development of transportation services is an important factor of social quality. Public transport accessibility has gained vital importance in designing and evaluating the transit system in terms of mobility and sustainability. Apart from the transport system itself, public transport accessibility has the considerable impact on life satisfaction in the form of perceived accessibility. Moreover, researchers have revealed several impac

Abstract:

Gender-based violence (GBV) on public transportation (PUT) is a global phenomenon that many women face daily. This phenomenon impacts women's mobility decisions, ranging from changing trip mode and route to cancelling the trip or even in some cases resigning from work. PUT is a vital component of urban life by providing the means of accessibility and mobility. Violence towards women on PUT often results in negative impacts on women's life, such as loss of opportunities, loss of accessibility, and extra financial burdens. In this research, we discuss the issue in the context of data from a surv

Abstract:

The concept of the “x-minute city” emphasises connected, mixed-use, and functionally dense urban areas where residents can access most daily necessities within a short walk or bike ride. By promoting proximity to essential destinations and sustainable transport options, this approach reduces the need for extensive travel and minimises environmental impact. This paper analyses the readiness of cities to function as x-minute cities and identifies necessary interventions. Using a reproducible and scalable methodology based on open data and software, the study assesses the accessibility of key urb

Abstract:

The habits influence the sustainability of our cities in terms of mobility in our daily lives. The main objective of this study is to achieve a sustainable mobility model from a new approach. This new approach differs from the traditional mobility management model, which focuses on a single department in charge of vehicle traffic that develops models based on surveys. In this research, geoprocessing techniques and spatial analysis tools have been applied to the positioning of taxi vehicles. The interdependence between taxis and other urban public transport has been proven through this analysis

CO2 emissions from urban daily mobility play a major role in both environmental degradation, rising economic costs, and sustainability. Reducing these emissions not only advances environmental sustainability but also fosters economic development by enhancing public health, lowering energy consumption, and alleviating the financial strain caused by climate change. Understanding the dynamics of CO2 emissions from urban daily mobility provides valuable historical insights into environmental impacts and economic costs tied to urban development.

These preliminary analyses also find that care trips comprise a substantial proportion of daily mobility.

Abstract:

The environment is a critical factor for participation for everyone. The need for accessible transportation and built environment for persons with disabilities to enjoy their basic human rights and fundamental freedoms cannot be overemphasized. This study sought to understand the daily experiences of persons with mobility disabilities with physical and transportation barriers in Accra-Ghana. Photovoice methodology was used to enable participants to tell their stories about access barriers that they encountered daily. A total of 153 pictures remained, out of 431, after the final selection of pi

Abstract:

People with visual impairments face numerous challenges in their daily lives, including mobility, access to information, independent living, and employment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Computer Vision (CV) has the potential to improve their daily lives, provide them with necessary independence, and it will also spawn new opportunities in education and employment. However, while many such AI/CV-based mobile applications are now available, these apps are still not the preferred choice amongst visually impaired persons and are generally limited to advanced users only, due to certain limitat

Abstract:

Abstract Circadian rhythms play important roles in many physiological processes and circadian rhythm disturbances are often observed in older people. Circadian rhythms are regulated by a molecular clock mechanism that is found in virtually all cells of the body. The core clock mechanism consists of transcriptional activators (BMAL1 and CLOCK) and the feedback negative regulators (PER and CRY). Beyond keeping daily time, the core clock factors regulate a daily gene expression program and this daily program is diminished with age. Skeletal muscle is critical in supporting systemic metabolism and

Abstract:

Interurban mobility from a systemic and integrated perspective is not much studied in Brazil. It comprises the movements that take place between cities, with the objective of meeting non-daily needs, through different modals of transport and different dimensions of administrative management. The use of a big data with mobile phone information in Brazil, modeling techniques and the crossing with secondary data from different sources, allowed an unprecedented overview at this mobility, and exposes how this integrated vision can contribute to the improvement of the planning.

Abstract:

Rural areas in Italy and Europe, while vital to agriculture and tourism, face transport limitations that restrict access to essential services, education, and jobs, deepening socio-economic exclusion. Transport policies often prioritize urban centers, leaving rural areas underfunded and with inadequate options, making daily mobility and economic development challenging. This study examines good practices from different EU countries, using a holistic case study approach, combining a literature review and analysis of implemented projects.

Public transport improves mobility and well-being for the rapidly aging population. However, few planning interventions have addressed the urban–rural disparity in bus usage among older adults. Using data from Zhongshan, China, this study adopts the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model to examine urban–rural differences in the nonlinear relationship between built environment and daily bus usage among elderly adults. The results indicate nonlinearities across all built environment variables and stronger effects of the built environment in rural areas. Distance to transit contributes the mo
