Research has shown that commuting is related to the health of workers, and that mode choice may have differential effects on this relationship. We analyze the relationship between commuting by different modes of transport and the health status reported by US workers, using the 2014-2016 Eating...

One of the main goals of transportation policies is to improve the people's access to employment opportunities, public services, and amenities. For this reason, an increasing number of transportation and funding agencies have sought to incorporate accessibility studies in the planning and...

We analyze changes in pedestrian behavior over a 30-year period in four urban public spaces located in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Building on William Whyte's observational work from 1980, where he manually recorded pedestrian behaviors, we employ computer vision and deep learning...

Introduction: The investigation of pedestrian dynamics is important as cities continue to develop facilities for high volume foot traffic. Important insights into speed-density relationships, flow patterns, boundary effects and critical states have been derived from experimental studies....

This report examines the current conditions of walking and cycling in cities. It reviews the literature on the potential benefits of active mobility, highlighting the importance of moving away from car-centric development. It also explores how cities developed into car-centric environments, with...

Purpose This study intends to analyze the trend of walkability research over two years (2021–2022) in several aspects, including the research problem, gap and aim underlying walkability issues, research setting, the scale of analysis, the type of data, the data collection tool, the analysis...

Die vorgestellte Arbeit zielt ab auf das ergonomische Design von Mensch-Computer-Schnittstellen, die während des Gehens verwendet werden. Dabei wird ein interdisziplinärer Ansatz verwendet, in den Aspekte der Physiologie (Gehen, Sehapparat), Psychologie (Lesen) sowie die technischen...

Rhythmusanalyse ist ein Begriff, der in den 1930er Jahren angedacht wurde und seit den 1990er Jahren vor allem in der französischen Denktradition intensiv diskutiert wird. Er könnte Aporien in der Zeitdebatte produktiv umgehen helfen. Rhythmus wird als "Produktion" von Zeit im Maßstab von...

This paper presents fatality rates for walking and cycling in European Countries used in the World Health Organization's Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT). It evaluates and ranks the quality of data sources and gives fatality rates adjusted by exposure (i.e. distance travelled). It also...

Purpose What makes neighbourhood environment more walkable is an important question for urban planning and design research. The purpose of this paper is to explore this question through a case study of urban sidewalks in different contexts of urban neighbourhoods in Rajshahi city of Bangladesh....

Wir erleben Umweltzerstörung, Klimaerwärmung und den Verlust von Lebensqualität. Der stetig wachsende Strassenverkehr ist in diesem Prozess ein Motor, der regelmäi︢g tausende Todesopfer fordert. Daran ändern auch Elektroautos nichts. Carl Wassmuth und Winfried Wolf belegen: An einem Umbau...

This paper examines the mode choice behavior of children’s travel to school based on surveys conducted at a sample of schools in New Jersey. The main focus is on a variety of network design, land use, and infrastructure variables that have typically been associated with walking activity. Using...

The aim of Health in All Policies (HiAP) is to bring diverse sectors together to find shared solutions; it focuses on identifying 'win-win' or 'cobenefits' such that policy measures contribute not only to improved health outcomes but also to outcomes desired by other sectors, such as education,...

We propose a methodology to evaluate social projects from the perspective of children's opportunities on the basis of the effects of these projects on the distribution of outcomes. We condition our evaluation on characteristics for which individuals are not responsible; in this case, we use...

Crime has been argued to have important externalities. We investigate the relationship between violent crime and an important type of behaviour: individuals' participation in their local area through walking and physical activity. We use a sample of nearly 1 million people residing in over 320...

Crime has potentially important externalities. We investigate the relationship between recorded violent crime at the local area level and individuals’ participation in their local area through walking and physical activity. We use a sample of nearly 1 million people residing in over 320...

Pedestrian travel data are critical for measuring and analyzing sustainable transportation systems. However, traditional household travel surveys and analysis methods often ignore secondary modes, such as walking from a street parking space to a store entrance or walking from a bus stop to home....

Klappentext: Dieses Buch begründet die große generelle Bedeutung des Fußverkehrs, belegt die vielfache Ignoranz der Verkehrsplanung gegen die Bedürfnisse des Fußverkehrs und zeigt auf, dass die bisherige, isolierte "Flickschusterei" nicht ausreicht, um mehr und systematische...

A structural regression model has been developed to explore the relationship among key factors in the explanation of utilitarian walking. The model examines the relationship between and among unobserved, or “latent,” factors that reflect (1) the values and preferences operant at the time of...

This paper examines whether the relationship between traffic fatalities and per capita income is the same for different classes of road users and investigates the factors underlying the decline in fatalities per vehicle kilometer traveled (VKT) observed in high-income countries over recent...

Pedestrians are vulnerable in traffic, with frequently reported injuries and fatalities. These risks are believed to be correlated with socio-economic attributes such as age, income or education levels. For Korea, it is shown that elderly pedestrians have a higher mortality risk than other road...
