“…Here we draw on feminist geographers such as Valentine (1989) and Rachel Pain (Pain, 1991(Pain, , 2000Koskela & Pain, 2000) whose work on the relationship between gender, fear, and the built environment suggests that sexual harassment can be understood as a spatial expression of patriarchy, functioning to reinforce and reproduce women's exclusion from public life more broadly. The adaptations women make to their behaviour in order to participate in public spaceadaptations that have been well documented in arenas such as public transport for example (Hsu, 2011;Gardner, Cui, & Coiacetto, 2017;Lewis, 2018)aim to minimise the potential not only to be victimised but to be blamed for that victimisation. These behaviours provide a challenge to the idea that women's fear of crime is irrational.…”

Feminist research and activism has along history of engaging with the range and extent of men's intrusive practices on women in public, taking as itsstarting point public space as aplace where gender relations are contested. Here, the impact of men's practices on women and girls is understood not only in terms of their safety, but also their freedom, highlighting how the "safety work" mandated for women and girls in public functions to limit women's space for action and responsiblise them for preventing violence. Drawing from research conducted in the UK, this article sets out in detail the concept of "safety work" and how it relates to not only women's behaviours but our sense of being in public places. It ends in exploring the possibilities of feminist self defence as a means of making safety work visible and measurable, to both ourselves and the wider world.

“…Finally, though not specifically discussed within the literature selected for this study, there could be additional safety benefits associated with DRT, shared mobility, and other door-to-door services particularly at night, in areas with high crime rates, and where public transport is not readily accessible or has low occupancy rates [124]. Conversely, while ITS systems can be used to improve surveillance and response rates, sharing space with other users, opens up legitimate safety concerns associated with exposure to crime or transmission of disease (e.g., [125] [126].…”

Smart Urban Mobility Innovations: A Comprehensive Review and Evaluation

Recent smart urban mobility innovations such as intelligent transportation systems, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, demand-responsive transportation, shared transportation, and mobility-as-aservice are consistently identified as the panacea to many of the economic, social and environmental effects associated with private vehicles-including road congestion, urban sprawl, social exclusion, increased costs, crashes, emissions, and environmental degradation. One of the strategies of many smart urban mobility policies is to view the transportation system from a holistic perspective to seek reduction of negative effects and an improve performance. Nonetheless, given the rapid technological advances in the transportation sector, there is a need to identify and evaluate primary smart mobility innovations from a sustainability perspective. This paper presents a thorough technology review and evaluation of the main smart mobility innovations identified in the literature. The study has identified and categorized six main smart mobility innovations most commonly discussed within the literature including: (a) intelligent transport systems; (b) alternative fuel systems; (c) driving automation systems; (d) shared mobility services; (e) demand responsive transport; and (f) integrated mobility systems. Furthermore, this paper includes a brief description of their characteristics, applications, and also evaluates their sustainability according to their proposed impacts on transport safety, road congestion, energy consumption, the environment, and accessibility.

“…23 Official data is problematic both because victims rarely report the crimes, and because official crime reporting statistics often do not specify when harassment was sexual in nature. 24 In a 2007 survey of 1,790 New York City subway riders, 63% of respondents reported having been sexually harassed on the subway. A little less than half (44%) reported having witnessed an incident of sexual harassment, and nearly 1 out of 10 (9%) had witnessed an incident of sexual assault.…”

(Caltrans), and by private grants and donations. MTI's transportation policy work is centered on three primary responsibilities: MINETA TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE LEAD UNIVERSITY OF Mineta Consortium for Transportation Mobility Research MTI works to provide policy-oriented research for all levels of government and the p rivate sector to foster the development of optimum surface transportation systems. Research areas include: bicycle and pedestrian issues; financing public and private sector transportation improvements; intermodal connectivity and integration; safety and security of transportation systems; sustainability of transportation systems; transportation / land use / environment; and transportation planning and policy development. Certified Research Associates conduct the research. Certification requires an advanced degree, generally a Ph.D., a record of academic publications, and professional references. Research projects culminate in a peer-reviewed publication, available on TransWeb, the MTI website (http://transweb.sjsu.edu). Education The Institute supports education programs for students seeking a career in the development and operation of surface transportation systems. MTI, through San José State University, offers an AACSBaccredited Master of Science in Transportation Management and graduate certificates in Transportation Management, Transportation Security, and High-Speed Rail Management that serve to prepare the nation's transportation managers for the 21st century. With the active assistance of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), MTI delivers its classes over a state-of-the-art videoconference network throughout the state of California and via webcasting beyond, allowing working transportation professionals to pursue an advanced degree regardless of their location. To meet the needs of employers seeking a diverse workforce, MTI's education program promotes enrollment to under-represented groups. Information and Technology Transfer MTI utilizes a diverse array of dissemination methods and media to ensure research results reach those responsible for managing change. These methods include publication, seminars, workshops, websites, social media, webinars, and other technology transfer mechanisms. Additionally, MTI promotes the availability of completed research to professional organizations and journals and works to integrate the research findings into the graduate education program. MTI's extensive collection of transportation-related publications is integrated into San José State University's world-class Martin Luther King, Jr. Library. The contents of this report reflect the views of the authors, who are responsible for the facts and accuracy of the information presented herein. This document is disseminated in the interest of information exchange.
