This paper proposes a relational egalitarian framework for conceptualising justice in transport planning and policymaking. Drawing on Elizabeth Anderson’s work, it argues that transport justice should be understood in terms of dismantling structural inequalities rather than merely redistributing resources. The paper outlines three key dimensions of relational inequality in transportation: hierarchies of power, standing, and esteem. It explores how these hierarchies are embedded in governance processes, transport infrastructure and service delivery, evaluative frameworks, and the social and physical fabric of cities. By focusing on relational inequalities, this approach broadens and sharpens our understanding of transport injustice, providing planners with guiding principles to identify and address forms of discrimination often overlooked in conventional approaches. The aim of the paper is thus to propose a framework that reorients transport planning as a powerful driver of social equality.

Driving under the influence of alcohol and cannabis, either alone or in combination, remains a significant public health concern due to the increased risk of fatal or serious injury crashes. Experimental studies using driving simulators provide a safe and controlled method for examining the effects of these substances on driving performance. However, limited research has critically analysed commonly used methodologies, and variations across studies complicate comparisons and the interpretation of findings. This rapid review synthesises methodological considerations in experimental simulator studies published in the past five years, focusing on research design, participant selection, substance administration, simulated driving hardware, and outcome measures. Through systematic database searches, we identified 3,698 publications that assessed the effects of alcohol, cannabis, or their combination on simulated driving. Following full-text review, a total of 54 studies were deemed eligible for narrative synthesis. High quality research designs (within-subject crossover designs) were feasible but were not always used. Cannabis administration methods varied markedly across studies relative to alcohol and had important implications for factors such as administration timing. For alcohol, standardised and evidence-based protocols for placebo preparation were lacking. Driving simulators differed in fidelity, ranging from full-cab motion-based setups to PC-based systems with varying fields of view. The most commonly assessed driving performance measures were standard deviation of lane position (SDLP) and speed control. Additionally, few studies examined the combined effects of alcohol and cannabis, or accounted for factors such as cross-tolerance, individual differences in substance use history, or simulator sickness. This review highlights the need for standardisation in experimental simulator research on substance-impaired driving. Establishing methodological guidelines could improve the reliability and generalisability of findings, thereby improving the overall quality of experimental research in this area.

This review explores the conceptual evolution and policy integration of Walkability as a key urban quality linked to sustainable development. By analyzing its development from an implicit to an explicit, measurable construct, the paper underscores Walkability’s multidimensional nature, encompassing built environment attributes, pedestrian perceptions, and socio-spatial interactions. It emphasises Walkability’s role as a transdisciplinary, context-dependent concept that influences community vitality, public health, and environmental sustainability through interconnected policy outcomes. A comprehensive framework is proposed, highlighting four core properties – implicit/explicit, interdisciplinary, context-dependency, and causality – and illustrating Walkability’s potential as a strategic driver for place-based, cross-sectoral urban policies aligned with global sustainability agendas. Ultimately, the paper advocates for nuanced, participatory approaches that integrate objective indicators with subjective experiences to foster healthier, more equitable urban environments.

Providing relevant information to passengers is essential for the functioning of the public transport system. With the digitalisation of passenger information systems (PIS), passengers currently have access to large amounts of information. To avoid cognitive overload among passengers, public transport systems experiment with applying personalisation to PIS, allowing for the provision of tailored information according to the needs and desires of passengers. Notwithstanding, systematic definitions and guidelines for designing personalised PIS in public transport are currently lacking. We, therefore, introduce a framework for assessing the personalisation levels of PIS, to close the gap between theoretical conceptualisations and practical implementations of PIS. Our framework defines five levels of personalisation, which are substantiated by a review of 40 papers focusing on personalisation in PIS .

Recent evidence highlights an alarming rise in violations, assaults, and harassment targeting both drivers and passengers in taxi and ride-hailing services, prompting concerns about the adequacy of current safety measures. This systematic review identifies key risk factors and proposes strategies to enhance safety and security in these services. We analysed documents from Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, published between January 2014 and June 2024. Of the 1,783 documents screened, 41 met the inclusion criteria. The review identified several risk factors contributing to increased incidents for both passengers and drivers, including nighttime operations, intoxicated passengers, high-crime areas, lack of surveillance, racial and gender biases, anonymity, inadequate training, and high-stress environments. Strategies to mitigate these risks include installing video and audio recording systems, enhancing app features (e.g. emergency alerts, real-time tracking, verification systems), offering women-only services, keeping interior lights on during dark hours, and displaying signage about surveillance. Training programmes focused on preventing sexual harassment and improving communication were also recommended. Video and audio recordings were identified as particularly effective but must adhere to local legal frameworks. Proper handling and storage of recordings by transportation agencies were emphasised to ensure security and privacy compliance. This paper underscores the need for comprehensive, legally compliant guidelines to address safety concerns in both taxi and ride-hailing services.
最近的证据表明，出租车和网约车服务中针对司机和乘客的违规、袭击和骚扰事件出现了惊人的增长，这引发了人们对当前安全措施是否充分的担忧。这项系统检讨确定了主要的风险因素，并提出了加强这些服务的安全和保安的策略。我们分析了2014年1月至2024年6月期间发表的来自Scopus、Web of Science和PubMed的文件。在筛选的1783份文件中，有41份符合纳入标准。该审查确定了导致乘客和司机事故增加的几个风险因素，包括夜间操作、醉酒乘客、高犯罪率地区、缺乏监控、种族和性别偏见、匿名、培训不足和高压力环境。减轻这些风险的策略包括安装视频和音频录制系统，增强应用程序功能（例如紧急警报、实时跟踪和验证系统），提供女性专用服务，在黑暗时间保持室内照明，以及显示有关监控的标志。会议还建议开展以防止性骚扰和改善沟通为重点的培训方案。录像和录音被确定为特别有效，但必须遵守当地法律框架。运输机构强调妥善处理和储存录音，以确保安全和隐私合规。本文强调需要制定全面、合法的指导方针，以解决出租车和网约车服务中的安全问题。

In many peripheral areas across Europe accessibility is under pressure due to the centralisation and withdrawal of important services and the privatisation and deregulation of public transport. This paper examines how community responses to these accessibility challenges are shaped by policy agendas and conditions. Conceptually, it builds on the notion of “commoning accessibility” (CA), which has recently been coined to account for the various ways in which communities mobilise and organise themselves to (re)claim accessibility as a common good. CA practices include community transport and shared mobility schemes, as well as collective efforts to create and maintain place-based social, cultural and care amenities such as a shops, cafés, neighbourhood centres, or healthcare facilities. This paper further advances the theorisation of “commoning accessibility” by critically situating these practices as part of wider assemblages of governance and changing configurations of the welfare state. To that end, we have conducted a systematic literature review that maps how CA practices are shaped by policy agendas and conditions, thereby focusing explicitly on peri-urban, suburban and rural areas across Europe. Based on our findings we present an analytical framework that distinguishes between commoning as a process and accessibility as an objective. We show that policy shapes both the conditions under which people unite, mobilise and organise themselves, and the way in which accessibility is articulated, translated and pursued as an objective. Moreover, our literature review reveals that these diverse policy factors cannot be reduced to mere legislative changes or administrative and institutional realities but also relate to policymaking as an exercise in agenda-setting. Unravelling this complex relationship between CA practices and policy is an important step towards understanding when and under which circumstances these practices can play a transformative role in meeting accessibility challenges in peripheral areas.

This review explores the multifaceted role of discretionary trips, or travel undertaken without obligation, such as leisure, social, or recreational trips, in enhancing objective and subjective well-being. Drawing on 61 interdisciplinary studies published between 2014 and 2024, it highlights eight key themes linking discretionary travel to well-being: social connections and belonging, emotions and experiences, environmental and urban design, trip characteristics and context, physical health, mental health, personal development and achievement, and autonomy and freedom. Findings reveal that discretionary trips contribute to physical and mental health, promote social interaction, foster personal growth, and provide opportunities for self-determination and engagement with nature. These benefits are amplified by supportive urban design, such as walkable neighbourhoods and accessible public transport. Specific populations, including women, older adults, telecommuters, and individuals with disabilities, derive significant well-being benefits from discretionary travel. The review underscores the importance of integrating discretionary travel into transport policies and urban planning to foster sustainable, inclusive, and fulfilling mobility systems. Future research should address equity in access, the influence of emerging technologies, and the long-term effects of discretionary travel on well-being.

The 15-minute city (FMC) has recently emerged as a popular planning paradigm. While the concept builds upon well-stablished urban planning principles, such as density, mixed use, and proximity, its operationalisation in research and practice faces methodological and contextual challenges. This study conducts a systematic review of FMC performance metrics, analysing thirty-nine peer-reviewed articles analysing how assessment metrics have been defined and used to evaluate the alignment of a region with FMC principles across different geographical contexts. We categorise performance metrics into six broad groups: amenity-based, population-based, distance-based, gravity-based, behaviour-based, and weighted scores. The findings reveal significant methodological diversity, particularly in time thresholds, transport mode choices, and the selection of amenities. European and Asian studies tend to focus on the spatial distribution of amenities, while North American research emphasises behavioural analysis, highlighting the challenges posed by car dependency and urban sprawl. This review identifies key research gaps, including the limited attention given to digitalisation and equity concerns. Additionally, we highlight the need for standardised performance metrics to allow for comparability across studies. Given regional variations in urban form and behaviour, we argue that FMC policies should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach but rather be tailored to local contexts. The findings from this research can be of interest to policymakers interested in understanding the regional challenges and methodological variations of FMC performance metrics.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging access is an important component in the transition to electric mobility, yet access disparities exist across user groups, creating distributive, recognition, and procedural justice gaps. In this paper, we introduce the term charging disadvantage, denoting challenges users face in accessing EV charging. We develop a conceptual framework, the EV charging capabilities (EVCC) framework, grounded on the social justice perspective of the capabilities approach, to illustrate the determinants and impacts of charging access, considering both transport and energy contexts. We conducted a literature review to inform the development of this framework. While previous literature extensively studied the impact of charging access on EV adoption, we further explore the effects on users’ travel behaviour, activity scheduling, and accrual of energy-related assets. By shifting the viewpoint of charging access from spatial infrastructure distribution to the provision of capabilities, we can identify the roles of financial capacity, personal conditions, social roles and relationships, physical environment, and wider structural conditions on charging disadvantage and its consequences. The EVCC framework can be applied as a tool to systematically identify users vulnerable to charging disadvantage and to guide the analysis of EV charging policies and practices. Using the same literature review, we demonstrate one of these applications by identifying highly vulnerable groups and providing recommendations to address their vulnerability. We underscore the need for EV charging infrastructure planning and deployment that is user-centred and captures activity and energy access, rather than solely relying on physical proximity to facilitate a just electric mobility transition.

We underscore the need for EV charging infrastructure planning and deployment that is user-centred and captures activity and energy access, rather than solely relying on physical proximity to facilitate a just electric mobility transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48197,"journal":{"name":"Transport Reviews","volume":"45 5","pages":"Pages 696-725"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145271034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improving service quality of urban public transportation systems is essential for attracting travellers. Ideally, building a service-oriented transit system requires holistic approaches on the closed cycle of measuring travellers’ perception of transit service, relating perceptions with supply factors, and making optimisation or improvement decisions with the goal of better service and lower cost. Separate literature reviews on transit service quality measurement and transit system optimisation were conducted previously, while there is no review investigating the consistency of service quality perceptions and optimisation approaches in an integrated manner. To fill this gap, we systematically reviewed existing contributions and examined the connections among transit service quality measurement, influence of supply factors on service quality and transit system optimisation. Results revealed gaps on goals of subjective passenger perceptions in existing optimisation methods as well as the need for embedding interplays between perceived service quality indicators and supply factors. Our research findings provide directions to future studies in this field, and we posit the importance of integrating human factors considerations in transit policy, planning and operation practices.
