“…This result is consistent with Johansson et al, (2006) , who indicated that comfort preferences are correlated with the likelihood of choosing bus use over car use and train use over bus use. In addition, de Oña et al (2015), Hadiuzzaman et al, 2019 , Hadiuzzaman et al, 2019 , and Migliorea et al (2014) examined the influence of the degree of cleanliness or lack thereof perceived by users of a public transportation system. The cost of the trip also plays an important role in the choice of a mode of travel ( Cats et al, 2017 ; Hess, 2017).…”

Many countries have taken a variety of measures to stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 infections. Among the most important of these involve using social distancing to prevent contact. Restricted social contacts have important effects on activity participation and on travel demand. The current study examined an array of less-studied factors, such as attitudes and beliefs toward train use, including risk perception of flu-type infection, alongside more traditional factors, which together affect decisions whether to continue using the train. Data was collected using an internet survey application. The study was based on two surveys that were conducted approximately seven months apart, the first completed by 237 participants and the second by 149. We developed a structural equation model to better understand the influence of various factors on decisions whether to continue to use the train. We found a correlation between perception of the risk of infection and the decision to continue train travel. Study results also demonstrate the relation between trip purpose and the decision to use public transportation. The study results highlight the importance of many attributes favorably associated with train travel, including saving time, reliability, and comfort. Therefore, in contrast to the existing situation where the railway company makes its own decisions to decrease trip frequencies and to cancel some lines, government policy makers and the railway company should maintain a strong frequency schedule and increase the number of lines in order to accommodate social distancing. In addition, we found that the most effective measures for encouraging people to keep travelling by train required mask use, preventing people with flu-like symptoms from traveling by train, and fining those who do not comply. In order to sustain the train use as a viable alternative to using private vehicles it is important to decrease the risk perception of being infected by coronavirus and other kinds of infected diseases while traveling by train. This can be addressed by creating a clean and reasonably sterile environment. These results highlight the need for serious intervention by decision-makers in order to sustain the train use as a viable alternative to using private vehicles.

“…The traffic of this arc is then redistributed in the road network causing an increase of vehicles·km and vehicles·hour. Traffic disruption costs have been evaluated adopting an occupancy rate of vehicles equal to 1.30 and considering that the average VOT in the urban area of Palermo is about 5.40 €/passenger•hour [12]. The present value of construction, maintenance and operation costs of the drainage network dimensioned for each design return period and the corresponding present values of the expected annual damages and the present total costs are reported in Table 2 and Fig.…”

The aim of this work is to define a methodology to identify the optimal rainfall return period for the design of urban drainage systems. The choice of the optimal return period is made minimizing the total costs of the system: the sewer network is dimensioned for a set of possible design rainfall return periods, and the corresponding construction, maintenance and operation costs are evaluated. For each scenario, the total expected damage from flooding caused by rainfall events with return period greater than the design one is then estimated by hydraulic simulation. This methodology has been applied to a small urban catchment in Palermo (Italy).

“…Findings of this research show an overview of the community in Indonesia and, in particular, the study area of Bakauheni -Bandar Lampung, which expresses attitudes and perceptions relatively differ compared to the habits in developed countries such as Romania, the UK, and Italy [12,13,14] which more consider service quality such as travel time while choosing transport mode even though the purpose of a trip sometimes also influences the choice.…”

“…It is important to note that both Lampung and south Sumatera provinces are the two most dynamic growth provinces in the southern part of Sumatera because of the support of their natural resources and benefited from the additional capacity of the trans-Sumatera toll road where the travel time from and to capital Jakarta has decreased significantly. The findings of the research will be attractive compared to the phenomenon of commuting behavior in emerging urban areas in developed countries, such as Napoca, Romania [12], and case study cities in London [13] and Palermo [14].…”

Trans Sumatera toll road connects the southern end of Bakauheni to Palembang for 450 km and has been operated almost for a year. With a right of way width of about 100 meters, the government planned the railway line to be built parallel to the toll road: with a cheaper investment cost because almost without land acquisition and access location is already open. Railway mode is possible immediately built on the Bakauheni -Bandar Lampung corridor to compete with the dominance of conventional modes such as AC-bus, non-AC bus, auto, and motorcycle. The state preference technique has been applied to the study area to explore the attitude and perception of more than 500 respondents regarding the operation of new mode railways in line with toll roads operating earlier. The railways will stretch for 109 km linking the port of Bakauheni in the south of Sumatera to Bandar Lampung This emerging urban area continues to grow dynamically due to the support of adequate transportation infrastructure and geographical proximity to the capital of Jakarta. The output of the mode choice model with the attributes of fare, travel time, headway, and delay shows that the greatest potential in the existing conventional mode for shifting to railways is the non-AC bus user group by almost 25%, followed by AC-bus 20%, auto user by 4% and motorcycle user by 1%.
