“…Jimenez-Vaca et al ( 139 ) explored how stress and cognitive performance are affected by commuting via PT and cycling in Bogotá. This study surveyed seven participants, evaluating both stress and cognitive performance using tests before and after trips.…”

This study seeks to contextualize the literature related to the urban transport of people and health. The methodology consisted of a systematic literature review, considering papers published between 2016 and 2021. Some 438 articles were selected for the initial analysis. It was observed that the most recurrent themes were analyses on transportation accessibility and health, and the impacts of active transportation and the built environment on health. Some 173 articles on travel behavior impacts were thoroughly analyzed. The most commonly evaluated health determinants were level of physical activity and obesity. Some studies applied standard questionnaires for health self-assessments. The analyses showed that mental/psychological well-being can have multiple dimensions. Most studies evaluated health determinants using statistical tools, specifically regression models and structural equation models. Health impact assessment was also applied recurrently in the analyzed articles. This study presents theoretical and practical implications, contributing to the state-of-the-art by theoretically deepening understandings of the relationships between transport and health. We also highlighted health aspects, methods, and data collection instruments that could be used in future studies. A better understanding of these relationships can also aid in developing public transportation strategies and policies that help move people and promote social-economic development, while also positively affecting individual physical and mental well-being.

“…Low-stress networks, for instance, are attractive to potential bicyclists ( 17 ), whereas higher stress levels can deter people from choosing bicycling as a mode of transportation ( 35 ). Other transportation studies include stress as an affective response toward commuting ( 7 , 36 ). For instance, it was found that there is a correlation between low commuting stress and a positive attitude toward the mode used ( 36 ), which subsequently influences future behaviors and modal choices ( 37 , 38 ).…”

“…Psychological stress can be defined as an adaptative response to an identified stimulus that leads to changes in an individual’s psychological and physiological equilibrium ( 6 ). These changes are associated with each person’s coping strategies and can affect their task performance and decision making ( 6 , 7 ). In the transport literature, psychological stress has been found to influence travel-related decisions because stressful situations have a negative impact on emotional and behavioral responses ( 8 ).…”

Several service and performance indicators (SPIs) have recently been developed to evaluate pedestrian infrastructures, such as different walkability indexes and pedestrian level of service (P-LOS). Given that stress has become a popular SPI for bicyclists (level of traffic stress [LTS]), this study addressed stress for pedestrians as an SPI by relating measurable attributes of different urban street segment environments with pedestrian perceived stress. A stress-based pedestrian SPI was proposed to classify street segments into four levels of pedestrian stress. A total of 1,043 pedestrians across 30 segments in Bogotá were surveyed about their perceived stress. Multimodal traffic counts, location audits, and layout dimensions were collected in each segment to estimate an ordered probit model that explained four stress categories. Physical infrastructure attributes and traffic operational conditions were found to affect perceived stress at given locations. The similarities between the proposed stress index with the LTS and P-LOS are discussed, and the proposed SPI is applied to pedestrian infrastructure planning and design in light of sustainable transportation goals.

“…The story behind cycling development in the city has been carefully studied and analyzed to produce results that could be relevant to other cities (Rosas-Satizábal & Rodriguez-Valencia, 2019). The latest research into bicycling in Bogota has focused more on exploring the stress resulting from commuting by bicycle in Bogota (Jimenez-Vaca et al, 2020) and defining the total trips that could be supported by bicycle paths (Olmos, et al, 2020).…”
