“…Post-COVID-19 impacts are also expected. Online activities and virtual mobility may reshape urban mobility as they are linked to changes in travel behavior, transport systems, and land uses ( Andreev, Salomon, & Pliskin, 2010 ; Battarra, Gargiulo, Tremiterra, & Zucaro, 2018 ; Ettema, 2018 ; Gössling, 2018 ; Kwan, Dijst, & Schwanen, 2007 ; Levinson & Krizek, 2017 ; Line, Jain, & Lyons, 2011 ; Mokhtarian, Salomon, & Handy, 2006 ; Mouratidis et al., 2021 ; Ozbilen, Wang, & Akar, 2021 ; van Wee, 2015 ; van Wee, Geurs, & Chorus, 2013 ). Online activities substitute some trips by allowing people to participate in activities remotely but may generate other types of trips via the time and money saved from this substitution.…”

“…The ongoing changes in ICT, the fast digitalization, and the expansion of opportunities offered by the internet and online activities altogether form a “virtual mobility”. People can now perform numerous activities online without the need to travel in the physical sense, and this leads to changes in traditional urban mobility and other types of travel ( Gössling, 2018 ; Levinson & Krizek, 2017 ; Mouratidis, Peters, & van Wee, 2021 ). This phenomenon has been boosted by COVID-19 and its impacts on society and mobility are ongoing.…”

This study provides new evidence on changes in a range of online activities due to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Online activities replaced physical participation in activities and contributed to changes in urban mobility during the pandemic. Using data from a nationwide survey in Greece, the paper examines changes in the importance and the frequency of engaging in online activities before and during COVID-19. Findings show that both the importance and the frequency of engaging in telework, teleconferencing, online learning (e-learning), telehealth, and online shopping (e-shopping) significantly increased during COVID-19 compared to pre-COVID-19. Substantial increases in importance were reported for telework (31% increase), teleconferencing (34% increase), online learning (34% increase), and telehealth (21% increase). Those who, on a daily basis, teleworked, teleconferenced, and made video calls with family or friends quadrupled during COVID-19, while daily online learners increased seven-fold. Telehealth and online shopping also increased but more modestly. Urban mobility in the post-COVID-19 era is likely to depend on the degree of prevalence and acceptance of these remote online activities, together with a set of complex and interconnected factors related to urban form, the spatial planning and decision-making system, and social awareness about the future of cities.

“…Specifically, long-lasting changes might be prompted by the following factors. Firstly, remote working and online learning may induce the cancellation of many systematic trips [4,8,9,46,50] since individuals have the possibility to carry out the corresponding activities at home [7,29,51]. Although factors influencing both remote working and the prediction of its adoption were investigated by many authors [7,10,13,29,51,52], only a few previous works focused on the impact of online learning and students' behaviours on travel demand, but without any predictive analysis.…”

Travel Demand Prediction during COVID-19 Pandemic: Educational and Working Trips at the University of Padova

2021

The diffusion of the COVID-19 pandemic has induced fundamental changes in travel habits. Although many previous authors have analysed factors affecting observed variations in travel demand, only a few works have focused on predictions of future new normal conditions when people will be allowed to decide whether to travel or not, although risk mitigation measures will still be enforced on vehicles, and innovative mobility services will be implemented. In addition, few authors have considered future mandatory trips of students that constitute a great part of everyday travels and are fundamental for the development of society. In this paper, logistic regression models were calibrated by using data from a revealed and stated-preferences mobility survey administered to students and employees at the University of Padova (Italy), to predict variables impacting on their decisions to perform educational and working trips in the new normal phase. Results highlighted that these factors are different between students and employees; furthermore, available travel alternatives and specific risk mitigation measures on vehicles were found to be significant. Moreover, the promotion of the use of bikes, as well as bike sharing, car pooling and micro mobility among students can effectively foster sustainable mobility habits. On the other hand, countermeasures on studying/working places resulted in a slight effect on travel decisions.

“…The adoption and spread of AVs impact the surrounding environment and territory, both urbanized and countryside, by affecting transport dynamics and user behaviors [15] such as commuting or logistics. All of these aspects reflect the way transport infrastructure is thought and built [16]. In addition, the application of AVs to public transport systems could further incentivize their use rather than smaller vehicles with lower capacity (i.e., cars) [17].…”

Autonomous Vehicles: An Analysis Both on Their Distinctiveness and the Potential Impact on Urban Transport Systems

et al. 2021

Autonomous driving is a technological innovation that involves the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the automotive area, representing the future of transport and whose applications will influence the concept of driving and many other features of modern society. Indeed, the introduction of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) on the market, along with the development of related technologies, will have a potential impact not only on the automotive industry but also on urban transport systems. New mobility-related businesses will emerge, whereas existing ones will have to adapt to changes. There are various aspects that affect urban transport systems: in this work, we highlight how road markings, intersections, and pavement design upgradings have a key role for AVs operation. This work aims to describe how contemporary society will be influenced by Autonomous Vehicles’ spread in regard to urban transport systems. A comprehensive analysis of the expected developments within urban transport systems is hereby presented, and some crucial issues concerning benefits and drawbacks are also discussed. From our studies, it emerges that the detection performed by vehicles is mainly affected by road markings characteristics, especially at intersections. Indeed, the need for a new cross-sections type arise, since vehicles wandering phenomena will be reduced due to AVs position-keeping systems.
