The article suggests a system dynamics model for estimating the demand for public transport. Traditional scientific and technical transport modeling approaches involve coherent systems, meticulously considering other impactful variables for transport modeling. The vastness of the variables and their combinations hinder us from grasping all possible system interactions. This research aims at proposing a model that comprises decisive factors in relation to the supply and demand in various modes of transport, designing likely scenarios of the transport system development in a specific transport territory. The model uses system dynamics tools to explore the interaction between individual system elements and transport subsystems. A wise choice of crucial system elements, well-adjusted relationships and behavior settings, as well as system dynamics tools, allow for a considerable simplification of an otherwise complex system. The article works with a principle of stock and flow diagrams for forecasting supply and demand in public transport. We take into consideration the implementation of a ‘demand index’ in public and car passenger transport with a subsequent comparison. This innovative approach monitors the development of a regional or municipal transport system while assessing its sustainability. Suggested demand indexes may serve as indicators for a sustainable municipal system. The suggested model reflects data from the South Bohemian region in the Czech Republic and may involve other elements and indicators of a sustainable transport system.

“…This high demand for space results in conflicts between commuters and inhabitants of urban regions. Livability and health are often connected to the amount of motorized traffic [5]. Thus, for sustainable and livable cities it is important to reduce the number of cars and the amount of MPT mileage.…”

From Modeling to Optimizing Sustainable Public Transport: A New Methodological Approach

et al. 2023

This paper explores the potential for connected public-transport (PT) mobility as an alternative to motorized private transport (MPT) in medium-sized cities. Despite the high demand for MPT, it occupies a lot of space and contributes to conflicts and reduced livability. The more sustainable mobility solution of PT, however, is often considered slow, unreliable, and uncomfortable. To overcome these issues, the authors investigate the state-of-the-art research of connected PT mobility, including ways to quantify mobility behavior, micro- and macro-simulations of traffic flow, and the potential of not-yet-established modes of transport such as Mobility on Demand (MoD) for last-mile transportation. MoD could reduce the drawbacks of PT and provide sufficient and sustainable mobility to all citizens, including those in rural areas. To achieve this, precise information on individual traffic flows is needed, including origin–destination (OD) relations of all trips per day. The paper outlines a two-step approach involving the expansion of OD relations to include all modes of transport and diurnal variation, followed by microscopic traffic simulations and macroscopic optimization to determine potentials for on-demand offers within inner-city traffic. The paper concludes by calling for critical questioning of the approach to validate and verify its effectiveness.

In this study, we explored the intricate relationship between teenage social media use and self-esteem, using data from a broad sample of 500 individuals ranging in age from 13 to 17, who represented a variety of demographics. Our research found a substantial inverse relationship between the number of hours teenagers spend using social media each day and their self-esteem, suggesting that greater usage is linked to lower self-esteem levels. Additionally, compared to their friends who mainly viewed images and videos on social media, those who engaged with text-based content more frequently showed somewhat higher self-esteem levels. The effect of social media use on self-esteem was confirmed by a multiple regression analysis, which controlled for variables like age, gender, socioeconomic status, and starting levels of self-esteem. These results are consistent with previous research, highlighting both the potential advantages and disadvantages of social media in developing adolescent self-esteem. Fostering digital literacy and encouraging candid conversations about self-worth and body image is essential for promoting healthy digital involvement. This study highlights the necessity for a balanced approach to online interactions in today's connected society by shedding light on the complex relationship between social media and teenage well-being.
