Metropolitan areas grow and develop as the region's population grows and travels to meet needs such as education, work, family matters, and business. Kotabumi and Bandar Lampung are two of the regions that have grown faster in recent years as a result of the construction of the trans-Sumatera toll road, while railway has been operating for more than two decades. The main objective of this works is to explore preference towards public transport with service quality attributes. The minibus mode or "travel" in Indonesia is defined as transportation services that pick up passengers. This study surveyed 384 commuters who used three modes of transportation: rail, bus, and minibus with relatively different service characteristics and trip purposes of school/college (35%), leisure (28%), family affairs (19%), work (14%), and business (4%) and represented predominantly an age range of 17 to 55 years (97%). The rail mode's utility value was 4.383, while the bus and minibus modes' utility values were 3.751 and 3.737, respectively. Because utility value reflects the level of user satisfaction with the overall attributes and service quality, the rail mode has a much higher probability of being chosen by respondents, with a probability level of 48.65%, compared to the bus and minibus modes, which have a probability level of 25.86% and 25.49%, respectively.

Security perception in the urban area has a significant effect on travel behaviour, preferences, and tour planning. The perceptions of security risks can vary depending on factors, such as age, gender, and previous experiences. This study aims to consider security risks when developing travel plans and schedules for various activities. An improved heuristic algorithm, based on the Travelling Salesman Problem with security parameter and flexibility aspects, is proposed. Public transport is considered in three situations: fixed, flexible, and flexible-security situations. The outcomes demonstrate that the flexible situation significantly decreases travel times by 21% compared to the basic (fixed) situation. At the same time, with a slightly increased travel time the security risk can be avoided in the flexible-security situation. Travelers can enjoy a higher quality of travelling and enhanced personal experience by minimizing the journey duration and the impact of security risks on the tour schedule. The proposed method provides significant benefits for transport operators by increasing the efficiency of the transportation system and higher customer satisfaction.

Systematic faults can often occur during the development of a system. The later such faults are discovered, the more expensive it can be to correct them. In systems engineering practice, there are many methods and tools to reduce the likelihood of systematic faults. In this paper, we present the application of a formal model–based verification technique – called model checking – to assist railway engineers in designing and verifying the safety-related functionality of railway control systems. The proposed process is part of a specification-verification environment that facilitates the construction of correct, complete, consistent, and verifiable functional specifications during development. The results and experience in model checking are illustrated by a case study of a vehicle detection point, a common component in this domain. The model checking of the case study has been performed in the widely used UPPAAL modeling and simulation framework, which can also verify formal properties and generate a counterexample in case of a property violation. By analyzing the counterexample, the designer can gain insights into the system's behavior and identify potential design flaws or failures. Model checking can be used to achieve a higher quality functional specification that is typically more complete and/or contains fewer faults compared to the traditional development approach.

With a full fleet of autonomous vehicles (AV) in the future, the concept of signal-free intersections has attracted transportation researchers. Multiple studies have investigated different methods and protocols to facilitate vehicle decision-making at intersections. Most of these methods have relied on strong centralized or inter-vehicle communications. This research aims to develop a new protocol for managing vehicle movement at four-leg intersections assuming a fully automated fleet. The main concept of the proposed protocol is to maintain a continuous movement of vehicles entering the intersection, without stopping in queues, by controlling their sequence of movements. In the methodology a dynamic occupancy grid (DOG) approach is applied by initially dividing the intersection into dynamic grids (i.e. cells). The cells are in a virtual movement, emanating away from each lane-group without overlapping, like a gear machine. Each vehicle sits on a specific cell to traverse the intersection safely at a predetermined time. In other words, vehicles approaching an intersection must register their speed and position by certain sensors, and in return receive the appropriate acceleration and speed to finally be allocated to the suitable moving grids. The efficiency of the applied protocol was demonstrated by a practical example that presented a higher intersection capacity value exceeding the ideal saturation flow rate in some cases. This reflects the efficiency of the implemented protocol and its applicability to different low to high traffic flows. Moreover, the protocol shows more flexibility in dealing with different weather, geometric and traffic conditions.

The emergence of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is expected to significantly reshape urban mobility and travel behavior patterns. AVs have the potential to offer higher levels of convenience, safety, and accessibility while enabling users to spend their trip time on more efficient and productive tasks such as working or even relaxing. This transformation in the short- to mid-term could result in changes in the public's sensitivity and perception toward enduring longer travel times and consequently, in mid- to long-term, it could influence the willingness to reconsider their residential locations. Therefore, the objective of this study is to enhance the understanding of the potential effects of AVs on travel behavior and land use through the examination of stated preference queries. To achieve this objective, various multinomial logit models toward AVs adoption and residential relocation were estimated by employing a dataset from Istanbul, Türkiye, as an example of megacity in a developing country. While the study findings revealed a set of potential adoption barriers for AVs, they also indicated a notable propensity for adopting these vehicles. Furthermore, concerning individuals' willingness to reconsider their residential locations due to the emergence of AVs, a considerable positive attitude was evident, albeit guarded. This attitude suggests that individuals' decisions are still evolving and can be guided toward the desired future through well-timed and well-suited policies. The outcomes of the study can serve as valuable input for policymakers as well as transportation and urban planners, offering insights into the potential impacts of AVs on urban mobility and form.

Traffic flow is a result of the connection between the derived demand and land use. The derived demand varies in space and time, this study explores how traffic congestion is correlated with land use patterns. Historically, statistical models were used to predict and analyze these patterns. The methodology of this study is to investigate this interaction by statistical methods such as linear regression modeling. This analysis was performed using various land use types that could influence the demand. From the regression analysis, the best influence variables that affect the model are land use variables. The strong statistical parameter is commercial land use, which affects traffic volume, and causes the highest traffic congestion. In addition, correlation values are negative, meaning that as commercial land use increases, traffic flow increases and road capacity decreases. When modeling with the commercial land use variable, we conclude the value of R-Squared = 0.87 and that the relationship is an inverse strong relationship between traffic volumes and commercial land use. Mostly, land use govern traffic demand.
交通流量是衍生需求与土地利用之间联系的结果。衍生需求在空间和时间上各不相同,本研究探讨了交通拥堵与土地使用模式之间的关联。历史上,统计模型被用来预测和分析这些模式。本研究的方法是通过线性回归模型等统计方法来研究这种互动关系。该分析使用了可能影响需求的各种土地利用类型。从回归分析来看,影响模型的最佳影响变量是土地利用变量。统计参数较强的是商业用地,它会影响交通量,造成最高的交通拥堵。此外,相关值为负,这意味着随着商业用地的增加,交通流量会增加,道路通行能力会下降。在使用商业用地变量建模时,我们得出 R 平方=0.87,交通流量与商业用地之间是一种反向强相关关系。大部分情况下,土地利用制约着交通需求。

The correct organization of transfers in the public transport system allows to reduce the congestion of the route network while maintaining a sufficient level of service quality for users of transport services. When modelling the probability of transfer, it is advisable to separate the probability of a public transport user choosing a trip with a transfer and the probability of making a transfer at a certain stop of the public transport system. The first probability largely depends on the socio-economic characteristics of the passenger and the time parameters of the trip. The probability of transfer at a certain stop is affected by the information provision of the stop and the number of routes. The general configuration of the route network determines the "basic need for a transfer in the network" - the ratio of the number of pairs of transport zones between which there is no direct public transport route to the total number of pairs of transport zones. The simulation carried out in the PTV Visum software environment for Lviv city made it possible to assess the impact of the tariff system on the change in the number of transfers and to determine critical stops and routes of the network. The inclusion of data on the structure of the city's population in the model makes it possible to use mathematical functions of the probability of transfer on the socio-economic characteristics of the passenger (age, gender, income level) when calculating the forecast number of transfers on the network.
