“…The literature demonstrates strong evidence that active transportation is positively associated with walkable environments [ 8 – 11 , 113 ], though the contribution of each individual environmental features included in the term walkability is unclear [ 9 , 10 ]. Cycling is favoured by the presence of dedicated cycle routes, and low traffic danger [ 22 – 24 , 30 , 36 , 37 , 81 ]. Addressing the issue of objective and perceived traffic danger allows a greater diversity of active travelers, and women cyclists in particular [ 23 , 27 ].…”

ObjectivesMovement-friendly environments with infrastructure favouring active mobility are important for promoting physical activity. This scoping literature review aims at identifying the current evidence for links between mobility infrastructures and (a) behaviour regarding active mobility, (b) health outcomes and (c) co-benefits.MethodThis review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA scoping review guidelines using PubMed and EMBASE databases. Studies included in this review were conducted in Europe, and published between 2000 and March 2023.Results146 scientific articles and grey literature reports were identified. Connectivity of sidewalks, walkability, and accessibility of shops, services and work are associated with walking. Cycling is positively associated with cycle-paths, separation of cycling from traffic and proximity to greenspaces, and negatively associated with traffic danger. Increased active transportation has a protective effect on cardiovascular and respiratory health, obesity, fitness, and quality of life. Co-benefits result from the reduction of individual motorized transportation including reduced environmental pollution and projected healthcare expenditure.ConclusionMobility infrastructure combined with social and educational incentives are effective in promoting active travel and reducing future healthcare expenses. A shift to active transportation would increase both individual and community health and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

“…Application of user-oriented tools, such as customer surveys, serves to build on our understanding of tangible and intangible factors that might affect how services rendered by the infrastructure are perceived. As suggested for other modes of transportation, people’s direct interaction in a given environment influences user perceptions, and assessing such perceptions leads to a better understanding of how to develop an attractive or approachable place ( 56 , 69 ), where people actually enjoy spending time. Furthermore, such tools rely on perceptions being much more powerful in explaining a service proxy than objective measures are ( 70 ).…”

In the era of globalization and the deregulation of the air transportation industry, public and private stakeholders have been increasingly interested in making airports attractive for passengers and airlines. Multiple service-like indicators (i.e., satisfaction, experience, liking, and quality of service) have been used to evaluate transportation infrastructure and systems, including airport terminals. Despite literature providing a clear definition of the different indicators separately, the similarities and differences are not clear, nor is it clear whether they are equivalent and could be used interchangeably. The purpose of this paper is to further understanding of the roots and essence of the four frequently used service indicators (SIs) in airport terminals—namely satisfaction, liking, quality of service, and experience—by comparing regressors. Using a travelers’ perception survey ( N = 377) at the domestic terminal in Bogotá’s El Dorado Airport, we found that, despite their correlation, the four service proxies were, in essence, different from each other conceptually, meaning that they have to be carefully chosen for the successful evaluation of a terminal. Each SI comprises different categories, representing a unique user perception. Recognizing and acknowledging that all these terms are different furthers the transparency in defining what each indicator measures.

“…In these documents, cycling-related indicators are usually included under the main category of non-motorized mobility and the common indicators aims to measure "accessibility, connectivity, safety, navigation, and services". The assessment process is solely governed by professionals and the results are represented by sustainability labels (such as silver, bronze, gold, and platinum) [21,22,[24][25][26][27].…”

This paper conceptualizes the use of interactive urban dashboards in collecting and visualizing sustainability indicators at local scales through a cycling dashboard prototype for Münster. Urban dashboards are integrated platforms that bring various data types and sources together and automatize the visualization of information in real time. They can function as information hubs that work with mobile applications, sensor-based data, and crowdsourced platforms. Visualization of information can present both map-based data, text, and graphical information. In this study, a cycling dashboard is introduced that is developed as a prototype. The dashboard is based on the sustainability indicators related to cycling infrastructure defined by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). It retrieves crowdsourced open data from Open Street Map (OSM) and automatically updates the information when new data are entered into the platform. This enables detailed exploration of the geo-referenced information up to street level and comparisons between different districts. In order to achieve a comprehensive framework, four main steps were included into the design and development process “determining a content by integrating future users, creating and evaluating a data inventory, designing the architecture of the dashboard, and implementing the prototype ”. As a result, this study holistically draws a comprehensive framework for the urban cycling dashboard around three main modules focusing on the sustainability of cycling infrastructure “infrastructure guide, cyclists’ voice, and idea center”. Additionally, the first prototype of an open local cycling dashboard has been implemented. The prototype enables the automation of collection, analysis, visualisation, and deep exploration of sustainability-related data at local scales. The results of this study contribute to the status quo by supporting the design and development process of local urban dashboards through a participatory approach.
