Tourist travel contributes greatly to transport problems in highly attractive tourist areas. Despite that, local behavior of visitors at the destination has hardly been investigated so far. To fill this gap, we used data from a bespoke travel-activity survey conducted Austrian Alps develop models mode choice tourists during their vacation stays resorts. The outcomes reveal significant effects o...

This paper studies how to integrate rider mode preferences into the design of on-demand multimodal transit systems (ODMTSs). It is motivated by a common worry in agencies that an ODMTS may be poorly designed if latent demand, is, new riders adopting system, not captured. proposes bilevel optimization model address this challenge, which leader problem determines design, and follower problems ide...

This study aimed to describe active travel (walking or cycling) in Scotland and explore potential demographic, geographic, and socio-economic inequalities in active travel. We extracted data for the period 2012-13 (39,585 journey stages) from the Scottish Household Survey. Survey travel diaries recorded all journeys made on the previous day by sampled individuals aged 16 + living within Scotlan...

Using the nationally representative dataset of the 2007 Pakistan Time-Use Survey, this paper examines gender differences in daily trip rate, mode choice, travel duration, and purpose of travel, which are previously unreported because of limited data availability. Wide gender mobility gaps are observed in the country, where women are less likely to travel, are half as mobile as men and may rely ...

Our research attempts to apply an agent-based approach to modelling travel behavioural change in a transportation system. Utilizing the advantage of agent-based model of being validated at an individual level, a social dilemma situation of travel mode choice is modelled and viewed as a complex system. Behavioural process of individuals is examined in an agent-learning model considering psycholo...

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...

We perform helioseismic holography on realistic solar convection simulations and compare the observed travel-time perturbations with the expected travel times from the horizontal flows in the simulations computed from forward models under the assumption of the Born approximation. We demonstrate reasonable agreement between the observed and model travel times which reinforces the validity of hel...
