Introduction

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have the potential to enhance driving safety; however, age-related differences significantly affect technology acceptance.

Method

Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study developed a senior driver acceptance model and explored the key factors influencing ADAS acceptance. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the proposed hypotheses using survey data collected from 358 drivers across different age groups. Additionally, Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (FsQCA) was conducted to identify potential configurations influencing behavioral intention toward ADAS, with a particular focus on core conditions that vary by age group.

Results

Survey results revealed that a higher proportion of young and middle-aged drivers were familiar with and had used ADAS compared to older drivers, indicating a stronger willingness among the former to accept and adopt such technologies. The analysis showed that Perceived Usefulness and Social Influence were key factors influencing ADAS acceptance among older drivers. In contrast, Perceived Security and Social Influence played a central role in shaping behavioral intention among younger and middle-aged drivers, while the intention of older drivers was more strongly influenced by Facilitating Conditions, Perceived Ease of Use, Social Influence, and Technological Trust.

Conclusion

These findings provide empirical insights into optimizing ADAS design and implementation to enhance acceptance among older drivers, ultimately contributing to safer driving behaviors.

先进驾驶辅助系统（ADAS）可提升驾驶安全；然而，年龄相关的差异显著影响技术接受度。方法基于技术接受模型（TAM），建立高级驾驶员接受模型，探讨影响ADAS接受程度的关键因素。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对358名不同年龄段司机的调查数据进行检验。此外，通过模糊集定性比较分析（FsQCA）来确定影响ADAS行为意向的潜在配置，并特别关注不同年龄组的核心条件。调查结果显示，与老年驾驶员相比，中青年驾驶员熟悉并使用ADAS的比例更高，表明前者接受和采用此类技术的意愿更强。分析表明，感知有用性和社会影响是影响老年驾驶员ADAS接受度的关键因素。相比之下，感知安全性和社会影响力对中青年司机的行为意愿起核心作用，而便利条件、感知易用性、社会影响力和技术信任对老年司机的行为意愿的影响更为强烈。结论本研究结果为优化ADAS的设计和实施，提高老年驾驶员的接受度，最终促进更安全的驾驶行为提供了实证见解。

Introduction

There are mixed findings on the relation between built environment attributes and active commuting to and from school (ACS). In addition to methodological differences in assessing the built environment, some of these mixed findings may be due to moderating variables in the associations between built environment and ACS. Hence, the present study aimed to analyze whether the perception of psychosocial variables and neighborhood safety moderated associations between built environment attributes and ACS among female and male adolescents.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted in Valencia, Spain, among 465 adolescents (aged 14–18 years). Built environment attributes of the home neighborhood were evaluated using geographic information system data. Socio-demographic characteristics, psychosocial factors, neighborhood perceived safety, and ACS were self-reported by adolescents using validated scales. Mixed effects regression models were used to estimate associations. The analyses were carried out separately in girls and boys.

Results

The strongest associations of residential density, public transportation density, and greenspace area with ACS were found among those adolescents with the highest level of decisional balance, social support from siblings/peers, and safety related to pedestrian infrastructure. However, there were substantial sex differences found in patterns of moderation.

Conclusions

Present findings support the ecological model principle of interactions across levels of influence when analyzing ACS correlates in adolescents. These findings suggest multilevel interventions may be needed to promote ACS, and the different needs of girls and boys should be considered.

关于建筑环境属性与主动往返学校（ACS）之间的关系，研究结果喜忧参半。除了评估建筑环境的方法差异外，这些混合结果中的一些可能是由于建筑环境与ACS之间关联的调节变量。因此，本研究旨在分析社会心理变量感知和邻里安全是否调节了男女青少年建筑环境属性与ACS之间的关联。方法本横断面研究在西班牙瓦伦西亚进行，共纳入465名青少年（14-18岁）。利用地理信息系统数据对住宅小区的建成环境属性进行评价。社会人口学特征、社会心理因素、邻里安全感和ACS由青少年使用有效的量表自我报告。混合效应回归模型用于估计相关性。这些分析是在女孩和男孩中分别进行的。结果居住密度、公共交通密度和绿地面积与ACS的相关性在决策平衡、兄弟姐妹/同伴社会支持和行人基础设施安全水平最高的青少年中最强。然而，在适度饮酒的模式上却存在着巨大的性别差异。结论在分析青少年ACS相关因素时，本研究结果支持跨影响水平相互作用的生态模型原理。这些发现表明，促进ACS可能需要多层次的干预措施，并应考虑女孩和男孩的不同需求。

Introduction

The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the Winter Walkability Audit Tool (WWAT) for assessing the walkability of pedestrian environments during winter.

Methods

The WWAT was crafted based on the Microscale Audit of Pedestrian Streetscapes, incorporating items identified from literature reviews and expert consultations. Pilot testing was conducted in Alberta, Canada, from February to March 2023, where fifty-six routes were independently audited to assess inter-rater reliability. Preliminary validity was also explored by correlating audit data with self-reported walking behaviors of older adults living in the audited neighborhoods.

Results

The results showed that audit item reliability ranged from 33 % to 100 %, with some items achieving perfect agreement but being seldom observed. Negative correlations were found between winter hazards identified in audits and self-reported walking by residents.

Conclusions

These initial findings suggest that the WWAT is a reliable tool for evaluating winter pedestrian environments and their influence on walking behavior. Further testing is necessary to validate its effectiveness across different contexts. The WWAT holds significance for public health professionals as it enables quantification of how winter-related built environment design policies impact individual health. This understanding can inform the development of targeted interventions aimed at promoting outdoor physical activity during the winter months.

本研究的目的是开发和评估冬季步行性审计工具（WWAT），以评估冬季行人环境的步行性。方法在行人街道景观微尺度审计的基础上，结合从文献综述和专家咨询中确定的项目，制作了WWAT。2023年2月至3月，在加拿大阿尔伯塔省进行了试点测试，对56条路线进行了独立审计，以评估内部可靠性。通过将审计数据与居住在审计社区的老年人自我报告的步行行为相关联，还探讨了初步的有效性。结果审计项目的可靠性在33% ~ 100%之间，部分项目达到了完全一致，但很少被观察到。在审计中发现的冬季危险与居民自我报告的步行之间发现负相关。这些初步研究结果表明，WWAT是评估冬季行人环境及其对步行行为影响的可靠工具。需要进一步的测试来验证其在不同上下文中的有效性。WWAT对公共卫生专业人员具有重要意义，因为它可以量化与冬季相关的建筑环境设计政策如何影响个人健康。这一认识可以为制定有针对性的干预措施提供信息，旨在促进冬季的户外体育活动。

The present study examines the complex factors influencing carbon emissions in the Kalyani region, West Bengal. To achieve this, data were collected from 385 respondents. A general linear model was used to measure the influence of the predictor variables. The outcomes indicated that age, body mass index, distance, physical activity level, and mode of transport affect carbon footprint. A combination of active and passive transportation options is more environmentally friendly than relying on passive modes. Gender-specific differences in transportation choices emphasize the need to address gender-related barriers to sustainable transport. Education levels influence environmental awareness, with higher education associated with more sustainable mobility choices. Self-employed individuals and those with senior secondary education show lower emissions when using a combined approach of active and passive transport. A comprehensive strategy to address these multifaceted factors, with implications for policymakers and urban planners aiming to promote sustainability and eco-conscious transportation choices is needed.

本研究考察了影响西孟加拉邦Kalyani地区碳排放的复杂因素。为此，从385名受访者那里收集了数据。采用一般线性模型来衡量预测变量的影响。结果表明，年龄、体重指数、距离、体力活动水平和交通方式影响碳足迹。主动和被动交通方式的结合比依赖被动交通方式更环保。交通选择方面的性别差异强调需要解决与可持续交通有关的性别障碍。教育水平影响环境意识，高等教育与更可持续的交通选择有关。自雇人士和受过高中教育的人士在使用主动和被动交通结合的方法时，排放量较低。需要制定一项综合战略，以解决这些多方面的因素，并对旨在促进可持续性和生态意识交通选择的政策制定者和城市规划者产生影响。

Introduction

Paratransit represents an essential mobility solution for people with disabilities as it enables them to participate in society. However, problems have arisen affecting access to paratransit services, leading to frustration, stress and insecurity among some users. These findings suggest that paratransit services face certain issues. The purpose of this study is to explore the obstacles and facilitators to access to paratransit for people with disabilities.

Method

A scoping review was conducted. Medline, Embase, Web of Science, PsychINFO and Transport Database were consulted in November 2023. Two reviewers independently examined the studies identified by the database searches, then extracted data from the articles retained. The identified obstacles and facilitators were associated with the five dimensions of access: availability, accessibility, affordability, usability and acceptability.

Results

At the end of the selection process, 19 articles were retained. The facilitators most often mentioned included employee politeness and assistance and service reliability, particularly in terms of punctuality and safety. On the other hand, long wait times and delays were among the most common obstacles, along with inflexibility and cumbersome administrative processes.

Conclusion

This study identifies several obstacles and facilitators to access to paratransit by people with disabilities. However, it provides few concrete solutions for optimizing services. Thought must be given to defining possible avenues for improvement.

辅助交通是残疾人必不可少的出行解决方案，因为它使残疾人能够参与社会。但是，出现了影响使用辅助交通服务的问题，导致一些用户感到沮丧、紧张和不安全。这些发现表明，公共交通服务面临着某些问题。本研究旨在探讨残障人士使用辅助交通工具的障碍及便利因素。方法进行范围审查。在2023年11月咨询了Medline， Embase, Web of Science， PsychINFO和Transport Database。两名审稿人独立检查了数据库检索确定的研究，然后从保留的文章中提取数据。所确定的障碍和促进因素与获取的五个维度有关：可用性、可及性、可负担性、可用性和可接受性。结果在筛选过程结束时，有19篇文章被保留。最常提到的促进因素包括员工的礼貌和协助以及服务的可靠性，特别是在准时和安全方面。另一方面，漫长的等待时间和延误是最常见的障碍，此外还有缺乏灵活性和繁琐的行政程序。结论本研究确定了残障人士使用辅助交通工具的几个障碍和便利因素。然而，它并没有为优化服务提供具体的解决方案。必须考虑确定可能的改进途径。

Background

Understanding how heat's effect on bicycling varies spatially across the urban environment can inform who may be bicycling in the heat and how urban-planning measures can improve thermal comfort for bicyclists.

Objective

We estimated effects of heat on recreational and commute bicycling in Denver, Colorado, USA using city-wide, finely resolved bicycling data and assessed heterogeneity in effects by area-level social vulnerability and proximity to the city center and whether off-street paths and green-space measures, if intervened upon, modify these effects.

Methods

From Strava Metro, we obtained daily data on recreational and commute bicycling in Denver on each street segment (N = 218,641) during the summer months of 2019–2023. We estimated effects of hot (95–99 °F [35–37 °C]) and very hot (100–104 °F [38–40 °C]) temperature on daily bicycling using model-based standardization, controlling for temporally varying confounders. We assessed effect heterogeneity by area-level social vulnerability and proximity to the city center. To assess effect modification by intervention (defined in text) of paved paths and green-space measures, we additionally controlled for social vulnerability and proximity to the urban core.

Results

Heat's attenuating effects on recreational and commute bicycling were stronger in central Denver but did not differ across area-level social vulnerability. Heat's attenuating effects were somewhat weaker on off-street paths and considerably weaker in greener areas and near blue space.

Conclusions

Results support the provision of paved paths and access to green and blue space to support bicycling during hot weather.

了解热量对骑自行车的影响在城市环境中的空间变化，可以了解哪些人可能在高温下骑自行车，以及城市规划措施如何改善骑自行车者的热舒适。目的：利用美国科罗拉多州丹佛市范围内的精细分解的自行车数据，评估热量对休闲和通勤自行车的影响，并通过区域级社会脆弱性和与市中心的接近程度评估影响的异质性，以及如果干预，非街道路径和绿色空间措施是否可以改变这些影响。方法从Strava Metro获取2019-2023年夏季丹佛市各街道休闲和通勤自行车的每日数据（N = 218,641）。我们使用基于模型的标准化方法估算了高温（95-99°F[35-37°C]）和高温（100-104°F[38-40°C]）对日常骑行的影响，并控制了时间变化的混杂因素。我们通过区域层面的社会脆弱性和靠近城市中心来评估效果的异质性。为了评估铺砌道路和绿色空间措施的干预效果，我们还控制了社会脆弱性和靠近城市核心的程度。结果丹佛市中心对休闲骑行和通勤骑行的减弱作用较强，但在不同地区的社会脆弱性差异不大。热量的衰减效应在非街道路径上略弱，在绿色区域和靠近蓝色空间的地方则明显弱。结论：研究结果支持在炎热的天气里提供铺砌的道路和绿色和蓝色空间，以支持骑自行车。

Introduction

20 mph speed limits were implemented in place of 30mph limits across most settlements in the Scottish Borders Council area (UK) between October 2020 and January 2021. Previous quantitative studies show that speeds driven reduce and less people are injured, and of those who are most have less severe injuries than if struck by a vehicle in a 30mph speed limit. Speed reduction, therefore, is an important public health intervention.

Methods

This paper reports the findings of 25 structured interviews with adult residents of the Scottish Borders who had experience of living there before, during and after the change, contributing qualitative evidence as to what people feel and say regarding this intervention.

Results

The results revealed a generally positive opinion of the 20mph limits. Many respondents noted a reduction in driving speed, although not necessarily to the posted speed limit. There were perceptions of small safety improvements, particularly for pedestrians and cyclists, although some remained concerned about speeding drivers.

Conclusions

The 20 mph speed limits have fostered a greater sense of equity amongst different road users and have largely been accepted as the ‘new norm’. Yet, 20mph probably remains insufficient on its own in addressing the externalities of motorised traffic among those outside of vehicles and the persistent fears generated by motor traffic.

在2020年10月至2021年1月期间，苏格兰边境委员会地区（英国）的大多数定居点实施了20英里/小时的限速，取代了30英里/小时的限速。先前的定量研究表明，开车速度降低，受伤人数减少，而受伤人数最多的人受伤程度要比以每小时30英里的速度被一辆车撞到要轻。因此，减速是一项重要的公共卫生干预措施。本文报告了对苏格兰边境的成年居民进行的25次结构化访谈的结果，这些居民在变化之前，期间和之后都有过在那里生活的经历，为人们对这种干预的感受和说法提供了定性证据。结果结果显示，人们普遍对20英里/小时的限速持积极态度。许多受访者指出，驾驶速度有所降低，尽管不一定达到规定的速度限制。有人认为，安全方面有了小幅改善，尤其是行人和骑自行车的人，尽管一些人仍然担心超速驾驶。20英里每小时的限速在不同的道路使用者之间培养了更大的公平感，并在很大程度上被接受为“新规范”。然而，20英里每小时的速度本身可能还不足以解决机动车交通的外部性，以及机动车交通产生的持续恐惧。

Introduction

Sports facilities provision is a prioritized topic in public health. Equity has been a primary concern when the majority focused on spatial allocation and accessibility assessments with unsystematic equity analysis. Transportation is a critical element causing mobility constraints in megacities, where underlying inequities have been observed in accessibility under multiple transportation modes. This research provides insights into distributional injustice in high-density cities and contributes to promoting public health and mitigating social inequities.

Methods

This study measures horizontal and vertical equity based on the accessibility of sports facilities in Shanghai under multiple transportation modes using WebAPIs at different thresholds. For equity analyses, the Gini coefficient and bivariate spatial autocorrelation are used to assess spatial equity citywide and compare differences between social groups.

Results

The findings reveal: (1) an intensified central-periphery pattern, with 80 %∼90 % of high-accessibility areas concentrated in central districts; (2) horizontal inequity with an overall Gini coefficient above 0.6 and central districts mostly below 0.2, showing great regional disparities; (3) severe vertical inequity in disadvantaged areas where the underprivileged group suffers from a higher unequal situation than intermediate and privileged groups. Equity performs the worst at the 5-min threshold. Vertical inequity generally surpasses horizontal inequity.

Conclusions

Both horizontal and vertical inequity of sports facilities in Shanghai is adding pressure on public health. Through the continuous efforts of preferential policies for the underprivileged, enhanced public transport and community-level services, horizontal equity is expected to improve by 7.8 % by 2030.

体育设施的提供是公共卫生的一个优先课题。当大多数人关注空间分配和可达性评估时，公平性一直是主要关注的问题，而不是系统的公平性分析。在特大城市中，交通是造成流动性限制的一个关键因素，多种交通方式下的可达性存在潜在的不平等。这项研究提供了对高密度城市分配不公的见解，有助于促进公共卫生和减轻社会不平等。方法采用webapi在不同阈值下对上海市多种交通方式下的体育设施可达性进行横向和纵向公平性测度。在公平分析方面，利用基尼系数和双变量空间自相关来评估全市的空间公平，并比较社会群体之间的差异。结果：(1)高通达性区域呈中心—边缘强化格局，80% ~ 90%的高通达性区域集中在中心区；(2)横向不平等，总体基尼系数大于0.6，中心地区多小于0.2，区域差异较大；(3)弱势地区纵向不平等严重，弱势群体的不平等程度高于中间群体和特权群体。股票在5分钟阈值时表现最差。纵向不平等通常超过横向不平等。结论上海市体育设施的横向和纵向不平等都增加了公共卫生压力。通过对弱势群体的优惠政策、加强公共交通和社区服务的持续努力，预计到2030年，横向公平将提高7.8%。
