“…Using online services to access the data collected by IoT devices and smartphones (including crowdsourcing systems) as well as of different types of processed data, there is an opportunity to construct analysis and problem solving models that work with data in a new way [29]. For example, transport simulation models for analysis of public transport might use online services in order to access, e.g., weather data and current travel times, collected by different types of IoT sensors.…”

Abstract:We investigate the opportunities and challenges of the forth wave of digitalization, also referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), with respect to public transport and how it can support sustainable development of society. Environmental, economical, and social perspectives are considered through analysis of the existing literature and explorative studies. We conclude that there are great opportunities for both transport operators and planners, as well as for the travelers. We describe and analyze a number of concrete opportunities for each of these actors. However, in order to realize these opportunities, there are also a number of challenges that needs to be addressed. There are both technical challenges, such as data collection issues, interoperability, scalability and information security, and non-technical challenges such as business models, usability, privacy issues, and deployment.

“…Quality is an effective tool for maintaining and increasing the shipping carriers' competitiveness in the freight services market [16]. For its part, the increase of the supply reliability is impossible without the development of information transport technologies [18,20]. However, the current state of the freight and logistics services market does not meet the growing needs of the population and cargo owners [6].…”

The paper deals with the freight services market in Russia. The authors distinguished the main risks for freight forwarders and the factors that hinder the growth of the freight and logistics services market. They justified the cost functions against the distance of rail movement, trucking activities or river traffic and defined the optimal means of transport according to the cost minimization criterion. The authors of this paper specified strategic guidelines in the development of enterprises in the freight services market such as improving the quality service and the flexibility for cargo owners, developing the logistics infrastructure and making prompt decisions. The assessment method for evaluating shipping carriers` competitiveness according to the customer preferences, the complexity of provided services, the company`s position in the market and customer satisfaction was suggested. The choice of the optimal private strategy under risk and uncertainty for enterprise development in the freight services market was justified.

“…Yet more dynamic uses are also possible, as shown by use of the Google Maps Directions API by García-Albertos et al In addition to the different APIs provided by Google, there are a range of other travel APIs. In a study by Hajinasab et al (2017) on the use of online services for transport simulation models, the API of the local online travel planner Skånetrafiken is adopted to collect data on available public transport options. This API is complemented with the Google Maps Directions API to gather cycling, walking and driving routes, together with a weather forecasting service API.…”

“…A first strength involves the provision of recent and/or real-time travel information (Hajinasab et al 2017;Wang and Xu 2011). According to Wang and Xu (2011), for example, the Google Maps service is generally updated twice a month, which is likely to be significantly more than, for example, static road network shapefiles for GIS network analyses.…”

In this paper we discuss some of the major strengths and limitations of an application programming interfaces (API)-based approach to studying accessibility in transport networks. To this end, we present a framework for assessing the bimodal accessibility of locations by using publicly available webbased resources that can be accessed via APIs. By way of empirical example, we query the Google Maps Distance Matrix and Google QPX Express APIs to collect travel time for both land-and airside travel, and process the extracted data using Python. We then apply our analytical strategy to the case of Australian statistical units to illustrate our data collection and processing framework, and in the process try to improve our understanding of the Australian urbangeographical landscape in terms of its bimodal accessibility. In addition to a largely-expected accessibility pattern centred on major agglomerations, we also reveal a number of idiosyncratic and perhaps less-expected geographical patterns.
