“…This finding was also stated by Nguyen-Phuoc et al who studied different factors including the travellers' gender, status, car ownership, as well as travel distance and time. The analysis results revealed that females, travellers who do not own a personal car, short travel distances, and short trip duration are all factors with a positive utility for prioritizing active transportation over other modes [20].…”

A growing interest in the behaviour of travelers to university campuses has recently emerged whether by university administrators or transport officials. Understanding the modal choice determinants of university travellers increases the opportunity for finding appropriate policies and solutions to reduce traffic congestion and parking needs as well as to encourage active transportation hence achieving more sustainable mobility. This research study investigates the differences in mode choice habits among the various groups of travellers to Sharjah University City (SUC) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), including students, staff, faculty, and university visitors. A revealed preference survey was distributed randomly throughout SUC. Using information collected from this survey, multinomial discrete logit choice models were developed to evaluate the SUC travellers’ mode-choice likelihood for the following modes: car, private bus, public bus, taxi, and active transport (walking and biking). It was found that travel time, travel distance, trip makers’ characteristics (gender, citizenship, car ownership, car sharing, and the number of cars per household), and other contributing factors ( Weathers conditions, Infrastructure adequacy, and bus services quality) are the main factors that affect significantly the mode choice at SUC. Further, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to study how the considered factors influence the mode choice. The developed model can be used in future studies to predict travel demand at SUC in response to new policies and solutions set by university administrators or transport officials.

“…Other studies investigated the mode choice through multinomial models (i.e., with more than two options for the dependent variable) [7][8][9][10][11]. In a more restricted manner, some studies used students as their target audience, regardless of whether they were university students [12][13][14] or children [15].…”

This work mainly aims to identify and understand the factors influencing the switching of transportation modes among higher-education students in Joinville, Brazil when traveling to universities. Furthermore, this study evaluates the possibility of switching from individual vehicles to other modes of transport (i.e., bus, bicycle, and walking) by employing a multinomial logit model. The results indicate that students would be interested in switching from individual motor vehicles to other options. The scenarios for switching to buses presented the highest switching probability. The bus cost was the most important factor for switching. Meanwhile, the parking space reduction does not affect the student's choice, indicating that restricting available spaces should not be an isolated measure for decreasing the car mode attractiveness. Finally, the transport mode switch would occur only if alternative modes to the car or their infrastructure are improved; otherwise, students maintain their usual choices.

“…This was the group of Vietnamese people who always wanted to contribute ideas for improving the current traffic conditions (Nguyen-Phuoc et al, 2019;Nguyen et al, 2013). Thus, they participated actively and responsibly in our survey.…”

Investigating on-road crash risk and traffic offences in Vietnam using the motorcycle rider behaviour questionnaire (MRBQ)

The factor structure of the Motorcycle Rider Behaviour Questionnaire (MRBQ) was investigated in Vietnam, a developing country with an extensive motorcycling culture. In addition, we examined which of the MRBQ factors, riding information and demographic variables predict motorists' crash risks and traffic violations. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the MRBQ revealed a clear four-factor structure of 36 items (N=2.254 riders). This study highlights some critical differences between motorists from Vietnam and other countries. Vietnamese riders without a driver's licence had lower on-road crash/near-crash rates, and the use of safety equipment paradoxically increased the incidence of crash risks. Furthermore, crash/near-crash liability and offences of Vietnamese motorcyclists rose with riding years (in terms of years already riding a motorcycle). The 36-item version of the MRBQ provided in this paper may be applied to other motorcycling countries. Besides, based on the robust relationships between the MRBQ factors and accident risks, new effective on-road safety strategies can focus on minimizing the common aberrant riding behaviours such as traffic errors, control errors, speed and alcohol-related violations in Vietnam.
