In this study, the possible causal links between the built environment, travel attitudes and travel behaviour of people that have moved between totally different urban and transportation contexts were investigated. A quasi-longitudinal design was developed to collect data about the perceived neighbourhood characteristics, neighbourhood preferences, travel attitudes and changes in car, walking a...

This paper presents an approach to estimate future travel times on a freeway using flow and occupancy data from single loop detectors and historical travel time information. The work uses linear regression with stepwise variable selection method and more advanced tree based methods. The analysis considers forecasts ranging from a few minutes into the future up to an hour ahead. Leave-a-day-out ...

modern world faces a multitude of challenges regarding displacement including high fuel consumption, air pollution, congestion in streets, decrease in physical activities, insecurity of passers-by etc. most of which result from dependence on automobiles and the vehicle-stricken urban forms. planners and public health officials are turning to land planning and urban design for help in reducing a...

Traditional solutions to shortest path problems on time-varying transportation networks only use traffic information at definite moment so as to ignore the fact that the travel time through a link is dependent on the time to enter it. In this paper, the travel speed instead of the travel time on each link of road networks was modelled as a time-interval dependent variable, and a FIFOsatisfied c...

In the transportation literature in general and the travel behaviour literature specifically, there is no consensus on the representation of weather in behavioural models, ranging from studies that use direct meteorological measurements, such a continuous variable for inches of rainfall or temperature, to indicator variables (which themselves are often subjectively derived) for qualitative weat...

International travel and tourism are among the most dynamic sectors in the modern economy. The phenomenal growth in international tourist arrivals has significantly outpaced global economic growth over the previous five decades, with particularly strong growth in the Asia and Pacific regions. Among other factors, changes in aircraft technology, economic prosperity and international air service ...

Nowadays air travel is one of the most popular traveling as its advantages. A disabled should commute easily, so Facilitation of air traveling is vital. A disabled needs various services which depends on travel steps. These needs should have supported by travel agencies and airport staffs. Therefore, planners must be considering not only physical environment but also well services. This paper i...

Nowadays, due to the high expectations of customers in meeting their demand and the competition environment among service providers, employers are working to provide customers with new methods in the shortest possible time and in the best possible way to attract customer’s satisfaction and maximize profits. In this paper, the orienteering problem with variable profits, fractional objective func...
