“…We chose to follow a quantitative research set up with an online experiment accompanied by a user questionnaire. Recent studies have shown a valuable contribution of questionnaires, including the area of public opinion on mobility usage [59], the case of mobility-impaired individuals [60], or potential conflicts in shared spaces among different mobility means [61].…”

Mobility Need-Adaptive Housing Platforms: The Benefit of a Commute Time Search Feature

et al. 2021

The growing influx of people to urban areas has resulted in a tense housing market in many places, making the search for a suitable residence an increased challenge. Dedicated online platforms facilitate this process and offer two distinct approaches to find suitable accommodations concerning its location. Traditionally, users can search for a general area like a city to narrow down the results displayed. Additionally, some platforms offer searches based on the maximum commute time between apartments and points of interest. This paper investigates the benefit such approaches yield concerning technology acceptance and the fit of the task and information representation. Thus, a prototypically implemented online platform with and without a commute time search feature was evaluated in an online experiment. The treatment specification achieved significantly better results in terms of information quality and technology acceptance, implicating that such a design should be preferred for websites that facilitate the search for apartments. These insights can contribute to an enhanced understanding of visual system design to reduce the negative sustainability impacts of traffic induced by a divergence of residential and workplaces.

“…Strauss et al [ 9 ] proposed a methodology to estimate bicycle volumes and cyclist injury risk throughout the entire network of road segments and intersections, justifying the benefits of cycle tracks. Nikiforiadis et al [ 22 , 23 ] explored the pedestrians–cyclists shared use space and quantified the impact of interactions; moreover, the authors highlighted concerns regarding conflicts and delayed passing in access. Kaplan et al [ 10 ] proposed the joint model of frequency and severity of cyclist–motorist collisions, and emphasized the focus on bicycle paths to improve road design and traffic management.…”

Cyclists occupying motorized vehicle lanes disrupt road traffic order and increase collisions. Exploring the contributing factors could help develop countermeasures to regulate such behaviors. The purpose of this study is to explore the intrinsic features influencing the behavior of cyclists in occupying motorized vehicle lanes at different bicycle facilities. We investigated a total of 34,631 cycling behavior samples in the urban area of Pingdingshan, China. A Bayesian random parameter logit model was used to account for the unobserved heterogeneous effects. The experimental results of all bike facilities demonstrate that the bike type, dividing strip type, bike lane width, temporary on-street parking, and whether it is a working day significantly affect cyclists’ occupying motorized vehicle lane behaviors. Factors associated with unobserved heterogeneity are age, barriers dividing strip, vehicle lane numbers, bike volume, vehicle volume, and daily recording time intervals. Comparing the estimated model of five type bike lane facilities across different dividing strips, we find that cyclists have a significantly different occupying probability and the heterogeneity factors of the various bike facilities also have their focus. When the non-motorized road conditions become more open, the cyclist behavior becomes more random and the heterogeneity factors become broader.

“…Despite these positive remarks, the design elements of roundabouts are not uniformly fixed on a worldwide scale because of the variety in the traffic volumes on the axes/legs of a roundabout, the available space at the area of a roundabout that could affect the number of the selected lanes, and the local traffic regulations or policies [5,9,10]. Most importantly, the trade-off of fulfilling safety and capacity criteria controls the design type and the efficiency of a roundabout [9]. The general rule is that the higher the number of lanes enabling parallel vehicle movement, the less safety levels of roundabouts because of the high-speed values that can be achieved [11].…”

Transforming intersections into roundabouts has shown that a sufficient degree of road safety and traffic capacity can be achieved. Because of the lower speeds at the area of a roundabout, drivers tend to become more easily adaptive to any kind of conflict with the surrounding environment. Despite the contribution to safety, the design elements of roundabouts are not uniformly fixed on a worldwide scale because of different traffic volumes, vehicle dimensions, drivers’ attitude, etc. The present study provides a brief overview of the contribution of roundabouts to road safety and the interactions between safety and the design elements of roundabouts. In addition, discussion points about current challenges and prospects are elaborated, including findings from the environmental assessment of roundabouts; their use and performance on the era of autonomous vehicles that will dominate in the near future; as well as the role and importance of simulation studies towards the improvement of the design and operation of roundabouts in favor of safer vehicle movement. The criticality of roundabouts, in terms of their geometric design as well as the provided road safety, lies upon the fact that roundabouts are currently used for the conventional vehicle fleet, which will be gradually replaced by new vehicle technologies. Such an action will directly impact the criteria for road network design and/or redesign, thereby continuously fostering new research initiatives.
