Abstract Mode choice by travellers is carried out with several considerations. The interesting point is, some public transport users have their private vehicles. No research has described how many travellers can choose the mode and how significant their shift is to mass public transportation. The aim of research was carried out by analysing the potential for selecting mass public transportation by considering the socio-demographic, economic and vehicle ownership characteristics with the variable distance, time and travel costs based on user preferences. According to the special condition, mode choice by rail-based transit mode is called KRL commuter line, bus and private vehicle at Jakarta – Bogor Corridor become research location. Research method of mode choice probability has been developed using Multinomial Logit Model (MLM) by transport cost, time travel and distance variable. A graphical descriptive approach method based on an equation model will then overlay the site to get the results of mode selection pattern using Geographical Information System (GIS). The application of the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept will be more effective if there is a transit-based mass transportation mode such as Rail-based Commuter Line (KRL) as an option, besides travellers also having private vehicles. The Result of this research is described by transport cost, travel distance, and time travel based on the revealed preference survey by 324 respondents. 50% of private car travellers are influenced by trip distance, but probability decreases if time travel increases and they switch to public transport. Users consider choosing a commuter line if the walk distance to the station is about 200 meters. On the other side, increase transport costs makes some travellers choose bus mode.

Abstract Our experience with technology is a bitter-sweet one. We relish its presence in our lives, but we dread the effect it may have on our manners, attitudes and social interactions. We open the gates of our schools to all types of technological tools, yet we fear it may badly impact our students’ performance. This article investigates the ways through which classroom technology such as iPad, Internet connection, laptops and social media, impacts negatively on education. Relevant research has proven that technology could change education negatively through four paths: deteriorating students’ competences of reading and writing, dehumanizing educational environments, distorting social interactions between teachers and students and isolating individuals when using technology.

Abstract Background This paper provides insight into the opportunity offered by shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) to improve urban populations’ spatial equity in accessibility. It provides a concrete implementation model for SAVs set to improve equity in accessibility and highlights the need of regulation in order for SAVs to help overcome identified spatial mismatches. Methodology Through the formulation of linear regression models, the relationship between land-use and transportation accessibility (by car and public transport) and socio-economic well-being indicators is tested on district-level in four European cities: Paris, Berlin, London and Vienna. Accessibility data is used to analyse access to points of interest within given timespans by both car and public transport. To measure equity in socio-economic well-being, three district-level proxies are introduced: yearly income, unemployment rate and educational attainment. Results In the cities of Paris, London and Vienna, as well as partially in Berlin, positive effects of educational attainment on accessibility are evidenced. Further, positive effects on accessibility by yearly income are found in Paris and London. Additionally, negative effects of an increased unemployment rate on accessibility are observed in Paris and Vienna. Through the comparison between accessibility by car and public transportation in the districts of the four cities, the potential for SAVs is evidenced. Lastly, on the basis of the findings a ‘SAV identification matrix’ is created, visualizing the underserved districts in each of the four cities and the need of equity enhancing policy for the introduction of SAVs is emphasized.

The Impact

This comparative study analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on motorized mobility in eight large cities of five Latin American countries. Public institutions and private organizations have made public data available for a better understanding of the contagion process of the pandemic, its impact, and the effectiveness of the implemented health control measures. In this research, data from the IDB Invest Dashboard were used for traffic congestion as well as data from the Moovit© public transport platform. For the daily cases of COVID-19 contagion, those published by Johns Hopkins Hospital University were used. The analysis period corresponds from 9 March to 30 September 2020, approximately seven months. For each city, a descriptive statistical analysis of the loss and subsequent recovery of motorized mobility was carried out, evaluated in terms of traffic congestion and urban transport through the corresponding regression models. The recovery of traffic congestion occurs earlier and faster than that of urban transport since the latter depends on the control measures imposed in each city. Public transportation does not appear to have been a determining factor in the spread of the pandemic in Latin American cities.
