Metropolitan authorities have started developing metro systems to promote sustainable transportation in urban agglomerations, indicating a significant change in the modal share in the future. Previous research indicates that travel wellbeing (TWB) substantially impacts mode choice behavior. This study developed a novel TWB index from structural equation modeling of TWB and Quality of Life framework and examined the association of TWB alongside travel attributes with mode choice behavior using a combined revealed-stated preference (RP-SP) dataset of 1393 commuters in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, India. A set of RP, SP, and two joint RP-SP mixed logit models (the latter with the decomposition of random coefficients) was developed to identify the role of TWB and travel attributes on mode choice behavior and to examine systematic preference heterogeneity for travel attributes across socio-economic groups. Results indicated that TWB positively influenced all the modes’ utilities, while travel time, cost, waiting time, transfers, and discomfort negatively influenced their utilities. Systematic heterogeneity results indicated that low-income and older commuters displayed higher sensitivity to travel costs, while males and younger commuters showed more sensitivity to transfers and waiting time, and low-income individuals were more sensitive to transfers. The implications for policy measures are discussed accordingly.

都市当局已经开始开发地铁系统，以促进城市群的可持续交通，这表明未来交通方式的份额将发生重大变化。以往的研究表明，旅行幸福感对模式选择行为有显著影响。本研究利用印度孟买大都会区1393名通勤者的联合显示-陈述偏好（RP-SP）数据集，从TWB和生活质量框架的结构方程建模中开发了一个新的TWB指数，并研究了TWB与出行属性与模式选择行为之间的关系。本文建立了RP、SP和两个联合RP-SP混合logit模型（后者具有随机系数分解），以确定TWB和旅行属性对模式选择行为的作用，并检验不同社会经济群体对旅行属性的系统偏好异质性。结果表明，出行效率对各出行方式的效用均有正向影响，而出行时间、成本、等待时间、换乘次数和不适程度对其效用均有负向影响。系统异质性结果表明，低收入和老年通勤者对出行成本的敏感性更高，男性和年轻通勤者对换乘和等待时间的敏感性更高，低收入个体对换乘的敏感性更高。对政策措施的影响进行了相应的讨论。

Cable cars have been installed as part of the public transport system in many cities with uneven topography. Despite the existence of buses as an alternative transport mode, the scarce comparative analysis in the literature of these two technologies only considers operator costs. The objective of this article is to compare the performance of cable cars with buses using an analytical methodology considering operator and users costs, including the effect of slope, crowding and the relation between bus speed and infrastructure cost. Using parameters values and the context from La Paz, the analytical models yield optimal designs that show that cable cars offer advantages on moderate to steep slopes and medium demand until their capacity is exhausted.

在许多地形不平坦的城市，缆车已经成为公共交通系统的一部分。尽管公交车作为一种可替代的交通方式存在，但文献中对这两种技术的比较分析很少，只考虑了运营商的成本。本文的目的是使用一种分析方法来比较缆车和公共汽车的性能，该方法考虑了运营商和用户的成本，包括坡度的影响、拥挤以及公共汽车速度和基础设施成本之间的关系。利用参数值和拉巴斯的环境，分析模型得出了最佳设计，表明缆车在中等到陡峭的斜坡和中等需求上具有优势，直到其容量耗尽。

Quantifying the benefits of accessibility on property prices is important for supporting infrastructure planning and guiding land use development. However, disparities between its effects on house prices and rents remain largely underexplored, which is essential to investigate the similarities and differences between owners and renters in residential location choices. This study is conducted in Fuzhou, China, with the open data, such as house listing information from Lianjia.com, and points of interest from Amap. This study adopts a supply-side perspective to investigate how sellers and landlords capitalize property characteristics into list prices and rents. Econometric analyses, including spatial lag, spatial error, and quantile spatial regression models, revealed consistent variable influences on both house prices and rents—positively for number of bedrooms and negatively for property age and distance to the central business district. However, distinctions arose for variables like south-facing orientation. Notably, homeowners prioritized neighborhood facilities over proximity. Two-stage quantile spatial regression can estimate varying, heterogeneous relationships across the entire conditional distribution, which confirmed that the preferences are different for submarkets. For example, owners of high-priced houses are more influenced by life and education factors, while those of low-priced ones prioritize work and transport. These insights inform governmental housing market regulation and investment strategies.

量化可达性对房价的影响，对于支持基础设施规划和指导土地利用发展非常重要。然而，它对房价和租金的影响之间的差异在很大程度上仍未得到充分研究，这对于调查房主和租房者在居住地点选择方面的异同至关重要。本研究以中国福州市为研究对象，使用开放数据，如链家网的房源信息和高德地图的兴趣点。本研究采用供给侧视角，探讨卖主与房东如何将物业特征转化为标价与租金。包括空间滞后、空间误差和分位数空间回归模型在内的计量经济学分析显示，房价和租金的变量影响是一致的——卧室数量对房价和租金有积极影响，而房产年龄和距离中央商务区的距离对房价和租金有消极影响。然而，像朝南朝向这样的变量产生了差异。值得注意的是，房主优先考虑的是社区设施，而不是邻近性。两阶段分位数空间回归可以估计整个条件分布中变化的异质关系，这证实了子市场的偏好是不同的。例如，高房价的房主更多地受到生活和教育因素的影响，而低房价的房主则优先考虑工作和交通因素。这些见解为政府的住房市场监管和投资策略提供了信息。

This paper examines schedule padding as a strategic response to competitors' scheduling behavior in the U.S. domestic airline market. Using quarterly panel data at the airline–airport-pair level for 2023 and instrumental-variable estimation, we find strong evidence of strategic complementarity: 1-min increase in competitors’ padding induces nearly a 1-min increase by the focal carrier. This imitation persists across multiple benchmark definitions and market hauls, though the intensity is slightly weaker in highly competitive markets. The results suggest that the U.S. Department of Transportation on-time performance metrics may unintentionally promote a padding “arms race,” lengthening schedules, with implications for competition policy, scheduling efficiency, and consumer welfare.

本文考察了美国国内航空市场中，作为应对竞争对手调度行为的一种策略。利用2023年航空公司-机场对水平的季度面板数据和工具变量估计，我们发现了战略互补性的有力证据：竞争对手的填充增加1分钟，导致焦点承运人增加近1分钟。这种模仿在多个基准定义和市场中持续存在，尽管在高度竞争的市场中这种模仿的强度略弱一些。结果表明，美国交通部的准点率指标可能无意中促进了一场“军备竞赛”，延长了时间表，对竞争政策、调度效率和消费者福利都有影响。

As the world races toward a low-carbon future, the strategic intersection of clean energy financing and transport innovation is emerging as a defining milestone in sustainable development. This investigation analyzes the asymmetric impact of renewable energy technology budgets on electric vehicle adoption across the top 10 countries with the highest electric vehicle stock and significant renewable energy deployment (China, the USA, Germany, Japan, France, the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Canada). Contrary to previous works that primarily relied on panel data methodologies and habitually overlooked local disparities, this research employs the sophisticated Quantile-on-Quantile tool. It facilitates an extensive appraisal of regional variations, thereby enhancing precision and delivering a deeper understanding of each country's distinctive characteristics. The findings display a positive and significant association between renewable energy technology budgets and electric vehicle stock in most sample economies, each displaying distinctive tendencies and reactions. The results highlight the urgent need for policymakers to conduct comprehensive analysis and formulate context-specific tactics that effectively address the complex interplay between renewable energy technology investment and electric vehicle adoption, particularly given their critical alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals.

随着世界竞相迈向低碳未来，清洁能源融资和交通运输创新的战略交叉点正在成为可持续发展的一个决定性里程碑。本调查分析了可再生能源技术预算对电动汽车采用的非对称影响，这些国家是电动汽车库存最高、可再生能源部署最多的前10个国家（中国、美国、德国、日本、法国、英国、挪威、荷兰、韩国和加拿大）。与以往主要依赖于面板数据方法和习惯性忽视地方差异的工作相反，本研究采用了复杂的分位数对分位数工具。它有助于对区域差异进行广泛的评估，从而提高准确性，并更深入地了解每个国家的独特特征。研究结果显示，在大多数样本经济体中，可再生能源技术预算与电动汽车库存之间存在显著的正相关关系，每种关系都表现出不同的趋势和反应。研究结果表明，政策制定者迫切需要进行全面分析，并制定针对具体情况的策略，有效解决可再生能源技术投资与电动汽车采用之间复杂的相互作用，特别是考虑到它们与可持续发展目标的关键一致性。

While transportation supports mobility, economy and wellbeing, there is a wide range of negative transport externalities. This paper reviews and examines eight major negative transport externalities from direct greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, well-to-tank emissions, traffic noise, habitat change, traffic congestion, traffic fatalities and casualties to barrier effects. The study provides an updated assessment of these eight negative transport externalities in 2020 by applying a consistent methodology in both passenger and freight transport at different spatial scales. Detailed audits of EU-28, Australia and Hong Kong are conducted to estimate the magnitude and composition of negative transport externalities at the regional, national and city levels, respectively. Our findings suggest that the total negative transport externalities accounted for 2.7-5.7% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and trucks contributed to at least 25% of total externalities. At the city scale, the social impacts on human health are notable. More proactive and timely policies that cover both passenger and freight transport are necessary to achieve sustainability in the transport sector.

虽然交通运输支持流动性、经济和福祉，但也存在广泛的负面运输外部性。本文回顾并研究了八种主要的负运输外部性，包括直接温室气体排放、空气污染、油井到储罐排放、交通噪音、栖息地变化、交通拥堵、交通死亡和伤亡以及屏障效应。该研究通过在不同空间尺度的客运和货运中应用一致的方法，对2020年这八种负运输外部性进行了最新评估。对欧盟28国、澳大利亚和香港进行了详细的审计，以分别估计区域、国家和城市层面的负运输外部性的程度和构成。我们的研究结果表明，总负运输外部性占国内生产总值（GDP）的2.7-5.7%，卡车至少占总外部性的25%。在城市尺度上，对人类健康的社会影响是显著的。为了实现运输部门的可持续性，必须采取更积极和及时的客运和货运政策。

Collection and delivery points (CDPs) consolidate parcel deliveries and reduce the circulation of freight vehicles, lowering operational costs. They also offer a more accessible alternative to home delivery, which is often restrictive, as not everyone is available during working hours and some areas lack coverage. Addressing these challenges is essential for increasing efficiency and mitigating negative externalities. This study proposes a CDP network design that ensures equitable access to small nonperishable goods. A location-allocation problem is solved to determine optimal CDP locations, maximising facility coverage while minimising the number of required facilities through fair resource allocation. The proposed network is compared with the Brazilian Post Office Box (PO Box) service to evaluate improvements in accessibility. From a planning perspective, the findings provide valuable information for both public and private sectors in decision-making on parcel delivery services. Public authorities can use the results to develop policies that improve urban logistics, while private companies can establish a CDP network that ensures accessibility to users while maintaining low operational costs. Ultimately, the study contributes to improving last-mile logistics by offering an efficient and inclusive alternative to traditional home delivery methods, reducing environmental and economic impacts in urban freight distribution.

收派点（cdp）整合包裹递送，减少货运车辆的流通，降低运营成本。它们还提供了一种比送货上门更方便的选择，送货上门通常是有限制的，因为不是每个人都能在工作时间上班，而且有些地区缺乏服务。应对这些挑战对于提高效率和减轻负面外部性至关重要。本研究提出了一种确保公平获取小型非易腐商品的CDP网络设计。解决了位置分配问题，以确定最佳CDP位置，通过公平的资源分配，最大化设施覆盖范围，同时最小化所需设施的数量。将拟议的网络与巴西邮政信箱（PO Box）服务进行比较，以评估可达性方面的改进。从规划的角度来看，调查结果为公共和私营部门制定包裹递送服务决策提供了宝贵的信息。公共当局可以利用结果制定改善城市物流的政策，而私营公司可以建立一个CDP网络，确保用户的可达性，同时保持较低的运营成本。最终，该研究为改善最后一英里物流做出了贡献，为传统的送货上门方式提供了一种高效、包容的替代方案，减少了城市货运配送对环境和经济的影响。

Airlines provide a range of fare products and ancillary services to accommodate travelers’ diverse requirements. This study presents a modeling framework for air travel decisions, focusing on fare product choice and advanced seat selection. The framework is utilized to develop and estimate mixed logit models in multiple stages to enhance air travel demand and revenue forecasting. The proposed models are validated using online survey data collected from a sample of respondents who have traveled from Taipei to Tokyo and/or Taipei to San Francisco. The empirical results indicate that individual socioeconomic status and trip characteristics strongly influence decisions at various stages. Airfare and seat selection fees play crucial roles in air travelers’ decision-making. Significant substitutions between alternatives and notable heterogeneity in preferences were observed. Our findings offer important behavioral and managerial suggestions for airlines.

航空公司提供一系列的票价产品和辅助服务，以满足旅客的不同需求。本研究提出了一个航空旅行决策的模型框架，重点是票价产品选择和高级座位选择。该框架可用于开发和估计多阶段的混合logit模型，以增强航空旅行需求和收入预测。我们使用从台北到东京和/或台北到旧金山旅行的受访者样本收集的在线调查数据来验证所提出的模型。实证结果表明，个体的社会经济地位和出行特征对不同阶段的决策影响较大。机票和选座费在航空旅客的决策中起着至关重要的作用。在选择之间观察到显著的替代和显著的偏好异质性。我们的研究结果为航空公司提供了重要的行为和管理建议。

This paper uses a Brazilian dataset to estimate the relationship between fuel usage and speed for jet passenger aircraft. This exercise appears to be unique, with prior evidence on the fuel-speed relationship coming entirely from engineering models. The regressions generate U-shaped fuel-speed curves like those from the engineering approach, focusing on groups of narrow-body aircraft types (NEO vs. pre-NEO), rather than individual aircraft models. The empirical estimates are used to evaluate the desirability of environmental aircraft speed limits, which would force planes to fly at a speed that minimizes fuel usage, thereby reducing carbon emissions but imposing longer flight times on passengers.

本文使用巴西的数据集来估计喷气式客机的燃料使用和速度之间的关系。这项实验似乎是独一无二的，之前关于燃油速度关系的证据完全来自工程模型。这些回归会产生u形的燃油速度曲线，就像工程方法那样，重点关注窄体飞机类型（NEO与pre-NEO），而不是单个飞机模型。经验估计用于评估环保型飞机速度限制的可取性，这将迫使飞机以最大限度地减少燃料使用的速度飞行，从而减少碳排放，但给乘客带来更长的飞行时间。

This study examines how digitalisation and energy structure affect logistics eco-efficiency (LECO), a critical metric for balancing economic and environmental goals in the logistics sector. Using balanced panel data from 36 OECD countries (2008–2020), the analysis employs the Super-SBM-Undesirable model, Tobit regression, and the Method of Moments Quantile regression. Results reveal that digitalisation and renewable energy significantly enhance LECO, while non-renewable energy has a detrimental effect. Notably, digitalisation plays an important moderating role in the energy–LECO relationship. At moderate digital maturity, the benefits of renewable energy are amplified; however, higher digital intensity triggers a rebound effect, diminishing or even reversing these gains. Conversely, digital advancement mitigates the negative impact of non-renewable energy. These insights suggest that policymakers prioritise investments in digital infrastructure and sector-specific applications to enhance logistics eco-efficiency. More importantly, they should align digital transformation strategies with environmental goals to fully leverage the moderating role of digitalisation in energy–LECO interactions.

本研究探讨了数字化和能源结构如何影响物流生态效率（LECO），这是平衡物流业经济和环境目标的关键指标。利用来自36个经合组织国家（2008-2020年）的平衡面板数据，该分析采用了Super-SBM-Undesirable模型、Tobit回归和矩量分位数回归方法。结果表明，数字化和可再生能源显著提高了LECO，而非可再生能源对LECO有不利影响。值得注意的是，数字化在能源- leco关系中起着重要的调节作用。在数字化适度成熟时，可再生能源的好处被放大；然而，更高的数字强度会引发反弹效应，减少甚至逆转这些增益。相反，数字进步减轻了不可再生能源的负面影响。这些见解表明，政策制定者应优先考虑对数字基础设施和特定行业应用的投资，以提高物流生态效率。更重要的是，他们应该将数字化转型战略与环境目标结合起来，充分利用数字化在能源- leco互动中的调节作用。

Using balanced panel data from 36 OECD countries (2008–2020), the analysis employs the Super-SBM-Undesirable model, Tobit regression, and the Method of Moments Quantile regression. Results reveal that digitalisation and renewable energy significantly enhance LECO, while non-renewable energy has a detrimental effect. Notably, digitalisation plays an important moderating role in the energy–LECO relationship. At moderate digital maturity, the benefits of renewable energy are amplified; however, higher digital intensity triggers a rebound effect, diminishing or even reversing these gains. Conversely, digital advancement mitigates the negative impact of non-renewable energy.
