There is a fundamental tension between user convenience and system efficiency in transport. This workshop set out to bridge the discussions on user-centric mobility with those on transport justice and sustainable transport. Based on eleven papers offering insights into public transport user groups and preferences, post-pandemic mobility behaviours, transport infrastructure planning and reform, and transport governance collaboration and capacity from transport systems across six continents, the workshop underscored that users are not all the same and that new travel patterns are emerging. It also highlighted the challenges of infrastructure reform and multi-level transport governance. To design sustainable and just transport systems that efficiently deliver value to a diverse range of users and residents, the workshop recommends that policymakers increase flexibility; think, plan, and assess across domains; and involve a broader set of stakeholders than currently engaged. Research should bridge the theory-practice gap, rethink system designs, and explore land-transport interactions. To build upon the discussions from this workshop, the next Thredbo conference should host a session focused on the successes and failures in implementing sustainable transport policies, with particular emphasis on the involvement of, and impact on, underrepresented groups, communities, and silent majorities.

在交通运输中，用户便利性和系统效率之间存在着根本性的矛盾。本次研讨会旨在将以用户为中心的移动性与交通公正和可持续交通的讨论联系起来。研讨会以11篇论文为基础，提供了对六大洲公共交通用户群体和偏好、大流行后出行行为、交通基础设施规划和改革、交通治理协作和运输系统能力的见解，强调用户并不完全相同，新的出行模式正在出现。它还强调了基础设施改革和多层次交通治理的挑战。为了设计可持续和公正的交通系统，有效地为各种用户和居民提供价值，研讨会建议政策制定者增加灵活性；跨领域思考、计划和评估；并让比目前更广泛的利益相关者参与进来。研究应弥合理论与实践的差距，重新思考系统设计，并探索陆地运输的相互作用。在本次研讨会讨论的基础上，下一届Thredbo会议应举办一场会议，重点讨论实施可持续交通政策的成功与失败，特别强调未被充分代表的群体、社区和沉默的大多数的参与和影响。

Urban freight transportation is part of a complex system where goods move continuously from origin to destination in perfect orchestration. Beverage transport is essential in urban logistics since it is related to the excellent operability of the Ho.Re.Ca. Sector. This paper proposes to model the complex beverage distribution system of a company in a megacity, facing the challenge of considering many heterogeneous elements and optimizing them in a new solution. First, a goal programming modeling approach is proposed, defining the application field's main goals and hypotheses. Second, a solving method based on an MIP model in a commercial solver is defined. Then, a scenario generation-assessment procedure for Lima conurbation is proposed, defining a set of instances with 10–200 customers and solving them. Results show that the proposed framework can solve to optimality real-life instances up to 40 customers and gives acceptable solutions in terms of gap in real-life instances up to 120 customers, which reflects the complexity of the beverage distribution reality and shows the method's suitability to support both company's operations and urban territorial development in megacities, showing how efficiency and be increased and supporting decisions in terms of vehicle or organization changes in beverage distribution.

城市货运是一个复杂系统的一部分，在这个系统中，货物以完美的协调方式不断地从起点移动到目的地。饮料运输在城市物流中是必不可少的，因为它关系到Ho.Re.Ca的良好可操作性。部门。本文提出对某特大城市某公司的复杂饮料配送系统进行建模，并在新的解决方案中考虑多种异构因素并对其进行优化。首先，提出了一种目标规划建模方法，定义了应用领域的主要目标和假设。其次，定义了一种基于商业求解器中MIP模型的求解方法。在此基础上，提出了一种针对利马城市群的场景生成评估流程，定义了一组拥有10-200个客户的实例，并对其进行求解。结果表明，所提出的框架可以最优地解决多达40个客户的现实情况，并在多达120个客户的现实情况下给出可接受的解决方案，这反映了饮料分销现实的复杂性，并显示了该方法在支持公司运营和大城市城市领土发展方面的适用性。展示如何提高效率和成本，并支持饮料分销中车辆或组织变化方面的决策。

Long-distance walking itineraries are gaining increasing prominence due to their significant contribution to sustainable tourism mobility and the rediscovery of local territories. These trails promote physical and mental health, strengthen local communities and enhance cultural heritage. Ensuring safety and security is essential to foster broader participation and reduce constraints linked to perceived risks. Increasingly present among walkers, women face specific limitations and risks; these include the threat of violence, a factor which significantly influences their behaviour and participation.

By analysing survey data from Italy, Austria and Algeria, this study examines the accessibility of walking routes and how accessibility is affected by risk perceptions - defined by international standards as varying by impact and likelihood. The application of a risk matrix highlights critical areas of perceived risk considering gender-based differences. The results reveal how men and women assess and respond differently to potential hazards, influencing their itinerary preparation and safety measures. The study highlights gender differences in risk perception, risk experiences, preparedness, and preferred interventions. These differences underscore the need for tailored approaches in trail planning and risk management to ensure inclusive, effective safety measures, aiming to encourage greater participation, especially among women.

长途徒步旅行越来越受到重视，因为它们对可持续旅游流动性和重新发现当地领土做出了重大贡献。这些步道促进了身心健康，加强了当地社区，并加强了文化遗产。确保安全和保障对于促进更广泛的参与和减少与感知风险相关的限制至关重要。妇女在步行者中越来越多地面临特定的限制和风险；其中包括暴力威胁，这是一个严重影响其行为和参与的因素。通过分析意大利、奥地利和阿尔及利亚的调查数据，本研究考察了步行路线的可达性，以及可达性如何受到风险认知的影响——国际标准将风险认知定义为影响和可能性的不同。考虑到基于性别的差异，风险矩阵的应用突出了感知风险的关键领域。结果揭示了男性和女性对潜在危险的评估和反应不同，影响了他们的行程准备和安全措施。该研究强调了在风险感知、风险经历、准备和首选干预措施方面的性别差异。这些差异突出表明，需要在试验规划和风险管理方面采取量身定制的方法，以确保采取包容、有效的安全措施，鼓励更多的参与，特别是妇女的参与。

The quest for a just and sustainable urban transport requires a better understanding of public resources use and transport systems impacts. In the global south we know little about city transport spending and how passenger and freight movement affects society. We developed a method to assess the investments of a Brazilian city in different transport systems (direct costs): bus public transport, freight, private motorised transport, cycling and walking. We also estimated the costs of some of the main externalities: air pollution, climate change and road fatalities. Total externalities costs (€225/capita/year) were three times higher than total direct cost (€75/capita/year). Charging externalities costs, often overlooked in public urban policies, represents significant opportunity for more equitable transport. For individual vehicles, full externality cost recoverry would add to €174/car/year. Private motorised transport, accountable for the highest external costs (54 %), received the largest share of city investments (53 %–82 %, representing up to €255/vehicle/year) while walking and cycling got the lowest (6 %–10 %). Spending on public transport during the first year of COVID19 required significant contributions from city budgets and imposed a new trend in the way bus systems are financed in Brazil, that now counts with hundreds of cities subsidising its operation.

追求公正和可持续的城市交通需要更好地了解公共资源的使用和交通系统的影响。在全球南部，我们对城市交通支出以及客运和货运如何影响社会知之甚少。我们开发了一种方法来评估巴西城市在不同交通系统（直接成本）上的投资：公交公共交通、货运、私人机动交通、骑自行车和步行。我们还估计了一些主要外部性的成本：空气污染、气候变化和道路交通事故。总外部性成本（225欧元/人/年）是总直接成本（75欧元/人/年）的三倍。在公共城市政策中经常被忽视的收取外部性成本是实现更公平运输的重要机会。对于单个车辆，全部外部性成本回收将使每辆车/年增加174欧元。私人机动交通的外部成本最高（54%），在城市投资中所占的份额最大（53% - 82%，相当于每辆车/年高达255欧元），而步行和骑自行车的投资最低（6% - 10%）。在2019冠状病毒病暴发的第一年，公共交通支出需要城市预算提供大量资金，并在巴西形成了公交系统融资方式的新趋势，目前有数百个城市为公交系统的运营提供补贴。

Many countries use Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) as an ex-ante evaluation method to support transport decision-making. A critique on CBA is that it favours policies which produce easy to monetize impacts (e.g. travel time savings), whereas it disfavours policies which produce difficult to monetize impacts (e.g. minimum level of accessibility for people with a disability and environmental effects). Public willingness to pay (WTP) experiments have been introduced to value difficult to monetize policy impacts. This paper investigates how citizens of the Transport Authority Amsterdam value nine social impacts of transport policies through five Public WTP discrete choice experiments. In the experiments, respondents were asked to choose between transport policies, trading of social impacts against a uniform tax increase. We show that participants particularly value that people can reach key facilities within 15 min and assigned a relatively low value to preventing delays. This suggests that citizens prioritize accessibility over mobility. We also observe that participants assign a significant value to all the nine social impacts and identify Public WTP metrics for all the impacts. This suggests that the Public WTP approach has to potential to resolve the critique on CBA that not all impacts can be monetized.

许多国家都采用成本效益分析（CBA）作为事前评价方法来支持运输决策。对CBA的批评是，它支持那些容易产生货币化影响的政策（例如，节省旅行时间），而不赞成那些难以产生货币化影响的政策（例如，最低限度的残疾人可达性和环境影响）。公众支付意愿（WTP）实验的引入是为了评估难以货币化的政策影响。本文通过五个公共WTP离散选择实验，调查了阿姆斯特丹交通管理局的公民如何评价交通政策的九种社会影响。在实验中，受访者被要求在交通政策、社会影响交易和统一增税之间做出选择。我们表明，参与者特别重视人们可以在15分钟内到达关键设施，并赋予相对较低的价值，以防止延误。这表明市民优先考虑可达性而不是移动性。我们还观察到，参与者为所有九个社会影响分配了重要的价值，并为所有影响确定了公共WTP指标。这表明，公共WTP方法有潜力解决对CBA的批评，即并非所有影响都可以货币化。

Public transit ridership has faced a severe decline in recent years, further intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. To counter this, transit providers are implementing policies to retain their users. One such strategy is to improve service quality, which enhances rider satisfaction and loyalty. However, due to differences in perception among users, a one-size-fits-all policy may not address riders’ diverse needs effectively. In this study, we addressed heterogeneity in how service quality factors influence satisfaction and future use among transit users, using market segmentation approach and survey data collected from 10,547 transit riders in Chicago in 2022. First, we applied a multi-group analysis to assess the statistical significance of heterogeneity in the factors influencing transit satisfaction and loyalty. Subsequently, to translate heterogeneity into actionable policies, we conducted Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Findings indicate that individuals with higher incomes and higher education prioritize cleanliness and reliability. For female passengers, enhancing safety measures is crucial, while riders with disabilities would benefit significantly from improvements in service comfort. Furthermore, intersectional analysis demonstrates that accounting for overlapping socio-demographic characteristics reveals a more accurate pattern of heterogeneity than one-dimensional analysis. The findings help transit agencies to customize their services to user-specific needs and encourage transit ridership.

近年来，公共交通客流量严重下降，COVID-19大流行进一步加剧了这一趋势。为了解决这个问题，公交供应商正在实施政策来留住他们的用户。其中一个策略就是提高服务质量，从而提高乘客的满意度和忠诚度。然而，由于用户的认知差异，一刀切的政策可能无法有效解决乘客的多样化需求。在这项研究中，我们使用市场细分方法和从2022年芝加哥10,547名公共交通乘客中收集的调查数据，研究了服务质量因素如何影响公共交通用户满意度和未来使用的异质性。首先，我们采用多组分析来评估影响交通满意度和忠诚度的因素的异质性的统计学意义。随后，为了将异质性转化为可操作的政策，我们进行了重要性-绩效分析（IPA）。研究结果表明，高收入和高学历的人优先考虑清洁和可靠性。对于女性乘客来说，加强安全措施至关重要，而残疾乘客将从服务舒适度的改善中受益匪浅。此外，交叉分析表明，考虑重叠的社会人口特征揭示了比一维分析更准确的异质性模式。这些发现有助于公交机构根据用户的具体需求定制服务，并鼓励公交乘客。

The perception of unsafety, along with other factors, can significantly influence mobility decisions, including the choice of public transport modes. Women feel more unsafe than men. Despite this, most infrastructure and transport services have historically ignored the differing needs of men and women. However, it is important to study gender differences for effective transport planning and to provide a safe system that is not a disadvantage for any group of people. This study aims to analyse the factors associated with the perception of unsafety and how it impacts the choice of public transport modes. It focuses on gender differences, using Santiago, Chile, as a case study. Mode choice data was collected through a revealed preferences survey, with which a hybrid discrete choice model was estimated, incorporating a latent variable termed “unease,” combining unsafety and discomfort elements. Results show that women, especially younger ones, experience a higher perception of unsafety and discomfort, which intensifies when they live in a district with high rates of assault. As a result, people with a greater perception of unease tend to prefer the subway, either exclusively or in combination with the bus, instead of using only the bus. Additionally, it was observed that occasional users are more sensitive to bus waiting times.

对不安全的感知与其他因素一起，可以显著影响出行决策，包括对公共交通方式的选择。女性比男性感到更不安全。尽管如此，大多数基础设施和运输服务历来忽视了男性和女性的不同需求。然而，重要的是要研究性别差异，以便进行有效的交通规划，并提供一个对任何群体都不不利的安全系统。本研究旨在分析与不安全感知相关的因素，以及它如何影响公共交通方式的选择。它以智利圣地亚哥为案例研究重点关注性别差异。模式选择数据是通过一项公开的偏好调查收集的，该调查估计了一个混合离散选择模型，其中包含一个称为“不安”的潜在变量，结合了不安全和不适因素。结果显示，女性，尤其是年轻女性，对不安全感和不适感更高，当她们生活在袭击率高的地区时，这种感觉会加剧。因此，有更大不安感的人倾向于选择地铁，无论是单独乘坐还是与公共汽车结合使用，而不是只乘坐公共汽车。此外，研究还发现，偶尔使用公交车的人对公交车等待时间更敏感。该研究强调了制定公共政策的必要性，并提出了解决这些问题的措施，以促进更安全、更可持续和更公平的流动性。

As the rapid growth of urban e-commerce increases the volume of last-mile deliveries, logistics service providers have difficulty in meeting the demand of on-demand consumer requests. This increase in demand challenges traditional delivery, with some parcels becoming disproportionately costly to deliver to their destinations. To address this, we introduce a cost-based outlier parcel selection mechanism that identifies parcels with a high negative impact on the marginal delivery costs. These outlier parcels are then eliminated from their tours and outsourced to a crowdshipping market, where individuals combine the delivery task with their already planned trips. We use unique data on delivery tours of six service providers for the province of South Holland in the Netherlands. The cost-based decision rule for identifying outlier parcels results in a low proportion of outsourcing to the crowdshipping market compared to earlier literature. We identify only about 1 % of the total parcel demand as outliers across all carriers combined. Of these outlier parcels, the proportion selected for crowdshipping based on their cost efficiency ranges from 42.78 % to 3 %, depending on the scenario. While crowdshipping provides a viable solution for handling a small portion of last-mile deliveries, its environmental and economic sustainability is restricted by factors such as compensation rates and the delivery mode used. This study demonstrates that outsourcing high-cost outlier parcels to crowdshipping can be cost-efficient and reduce emissions of last-mile logistics companies; however, the proportion of these parcels is very small, limiting the overall impact on sustainability.

随着城市电子商务的快速发展，最后一英里的配送量增加，物流服务商难以满足按需消费者的需求。这种需求的增长挑战了传统的快递方式，一些包裹递送到目的地的成本变得不成比例。为了解决这个问题，我们引入了一个基于成本的异常包裹选择机制，该机制识别对边际交付成本有高负面影响的包裹。然后，这些异常包裹会从他们的行程中剔除，并外包给众包市场，在那里，个人将配送任务与他们已经计划好的行程结合起来。我们使用独特的数据交付旅游的六个服务提供商为南荷兰省在荷兰。与早期文献相比，识别异常包裹的基于成本的决策规则导致外包给众包市场的比例较低。我们确定只有大约1%的总包裹需求是所有承运人的异常值。在这些异常包裹中，根据其成本效率选择众包的比例从42.78%到3%不等，具体取决于场景。虽然众包运输为处理一小部分最后一英里的配送提供了可行的解决方案，但它的环境和经济可持续性受到补偿率和所使用的配送模式等因素的限制。研究表明，将高成本的异常包裹外包给众包运输具有成本效益，可以减少最后一英里物流公司的排放；然而，这些地块的比例非常小，限制了对可持续性的总体影响。

This study examines how establishment typologies influence the accuracy of freight production (FP) models in two contrasting Indian regions - Kerala and Hyderabad. Two types of typologies were constructed using Latent Class Cluster Analysis: An Observable Typology, based on observable variables (commodity type, distance to city centre, proximity to freight infrastructure), and a Survey-based Typology, based on survey-derived attributes (fleet ownership, commodity value density, business age, and period of formation). FP models were developed using both typologies and benchmarked against regional and industry-class models. In Kerala, the Survey-based Typology yielded the most accurate models, with two out of five classes showing a substantial reduction in residual variance compared to regional models. These models improved R² values by up to 22 % over unsegmented baseline models. The Observable Typology also improved model performance, but to a lesser extent. In Hyderabad, typology-based models improved prediction accuracy for specific classes, particularly those with high freight-generating intensity. Across both regions, the Survey-based Typology consistently explained freight production variation better than industry classifications or spatial factors alone. The results confirm that data-driven typologies, especially those capturing firm behaviour and logistics attributes, provide significant gains in modelling freight production and enable finer-grained understanding of establishment-level freight activity.

本研究考察了在两个对比鲜明的印度地区——喀拉拉邦和海德拉巴，企业类型学如何影响货运生产（FP）模型的准确性。使用潜在类聚类分析构建了两种类型：基于可观察变量（商品类型、到市中心的距离、与货运基础设施的接近程度）的可观察类型和基于调查的类型，基于调查衍生属性（车队所有权、商品价值密度、商业年龄和形成时期）。FP模型是使用类型学开发的，并针对区域和行业模型进行基准测试。在喀拉拉邦，基于调查的类型学产生了最准确的模型，与区域模型相比，五个类别中有两个显示出残余方差的大幅减少。与未分割的基线模型相比，这些模型将R2值提高了22%。Observable类型学也提高了模型性能，但程度较低。在海得拉巴，基于类型学的模型提高了特定类别的预测准确性，特别是那些高货运强度的类别。在这两个地区，基于调查的类型学始终比单独的行业分类或空间因素更好地解释了货运生产的变化。结果证实，数据驱动的类型学，特别是那些捕捉企业行为和物流属性的类型学，为货运生产建模提供了显著的收益，并能够更细致地了解企业层面的货运活动。
