Although the disease-relevant microtubule-associated protein tau is known to severely inhibit kinesin-based transport in vitro, the potential mechanisms for reversing this detrimental effect to maintain healthy transport in cells remain unknown. Here we report the unambiguous upregulation of multiple-kinesin travel distance despite the presence of tau, via decreased single-kinesin velocity. Int...

Activity spaces are dynamic, “people-based” accessibility measures that can be used to analyse spatial arrangements of travel. This paper reports on activity spaces in context of transport policy aimed at changing travel behaviour by offering alternative transport options and new urban services within transit-oriented developments (TOD) environments. Specifically, we explore associations betwee...

Purpose Immigrant travel has become an emerging research field in transportation planning. A handful of scholars have studied the travel behavior of residents in immigrant enclaves in North America. However, thus far, there has been no analysis of the travel behavior of residents living in migrant-rich neighborhoods in China. Additionally, previous studies rarely explored whether these (im)migr...

Economic values of various ecosystem services recreational forests are not well understood in many countries, including Malaysia. Policymakers and resource managers with a lack such information may make inappropriate decisions to manage forest resources. To address the problem, this study used data estimated economic value recreation as cultural service Ayer Keroh Recreational Forest (AKRF) Mal...

Telecommuting means that employees work completely or sometime at home or at remote telecommuting centres instead of daily travel to work at regular offices. Impacts of telecommuting on transport are becoming significant. This paper reviews the growth of telecommuting and analyzes the necessity to evaluate the influence of telecommuting in transport planning and control. The transport network e...

This paper aims at disentangling possible causal mechanisms mediating the impacts of soft transport policies. A general conceptual framework is first presented to clarify how hard and soft transport policy measures influence travel behaviour. After that several models are presented which identify psychological determinants of people´s current travel behaviour as well as their motivation to chan...

Issue addressed Travel satisfaction has become an increasingly popular construct for the assessment and monitoring of transport systems and services. However, satisfaction may not adequately assess emotion or mood towards walking and cycling, especially when infrastructure is biased towards motor vehicle modes. In this exploratory study we sought to examine the associations of both satisfaction...

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
