Immigrants to the United States—particularly new immigrants—are more likely than the native born to travel by bicycle. This paper explores the extent to which the use of bicycles by immigrants can be explained by variables such as income, age, automobile availability, and neighborhood characteristics. Results from multinomial logistic mode choice models suggest that, even after controlling for ...

The tendency to use Bluetooth Technology (BT) for travel time estimation is increasing due to growing number of Bluetooth-enabled devices among road users, anonymity of BT detections, flexibility of deployment and maintenance of Bluetooth sensors etc. Although Bluetooth has been demonstrated as a promising technology, there remain problems which affect the accuracy of the estimation such as dif...

A new method for the ring expansion of cyclic diols is described. Using improved conditions for the ruthenium(0) catalyzed cycloaddition of cyclic 1,2-diols with 1,3-dienes, fused [n.4.0] bicycles (n = 3-6) are formed, which upon exposure to iodosobenzene diacetate engage in oxidative cleavage to form the 9-12 membered rings .

Bicycle suspension systems have been designed to improve bicycle comfort Abstract and handling by dissipating terrain-induced energy. However, they may also dissipate the cyclist’s energy through small oscillatory movements, often termed ‘bobbing’, that are generated by the pedalling movements. This phenomenon is a major concern for competitive cyclists engaged in events where most of the time ...

In recent years, mobility as a service (MaaS) (i.e., system combining public transport, shared rides, short-term vehicle rentals, and taxis sourced via mobile applications) has become solution that is increasingly available in smart cities. Along with the development of transport options, range vehicles offered part this type expanded widely, from buses, taxis, bicycles, cars to innovation elec...
