Abstract
There are significant social, environmental, and public health advantages to encouraging cycling over automobile transportation. Although the "x-minute city" concept aims to decentralize urban services within a short bike ride or walk, there is currently little empirical modeling of how this framework affects individual behavioral choices. This study assesses the effect of proximity on bicycle adoption using intelligent urban modeling. We generated Multinomial Logit (MNL) models to examine mode and destination choice dynamics using two stated preference experiments conducted through a face-to-face survey (N=390) in Kerman, Iran. Travelers are successfully diverted from the city center by creating decentralized, replicated urban services within a 10-minute cycling radius, according to the predictive analytics. When combined with push-factors like congestion pricing and smart infrastructure expenditures like dedicated parking and bike lanes, this behavioral shift is further enhanced. For transportation planners and legislators using data intelligence to create sustainable, polycentric smart cities, these results offer crucial quantitative insights.
Public-private partnerships, involving transit agencies and emerging mobility service providers (such as micromobility and ridesharing), offer a promising strategy to improve transportation system performance and promote sustainable travel behavior. These partnerships have potential to address key challenges, including...
Park and Ride systems are typically associated with rail stations or conventional urban Public Transport hubs. In Gleisdorf, Austria, a highway-based bus stop with nearby Park and Ride facilities is being developed to improve regional Public Transport accessibility in a semi-rural commuter corridor. This paper examines...

Entering the post-pandemic era, cities navigate a new normal shaped by hybrid work and space-time flexibility, but existing evidence is spatially scattered and temporally limited. Here we develop an analytical approach that examines this reorganization through three dimensions: remote work adoption via sector compositi...
During public holidays in China, intercity travel surges sharply, causing widespread highway congestion. This study investigates the mechanisms behind holiday-related congestion, with a focus on the toll-free highway policy implemented during national holidays. Using data from the Yangtze River Delta, this study combin...

New Light Rail Transit (LRT) systems are frequently promoted as a means of reducing car dependence and supporting urban sustainability; however, their effectiveness depends on how different traveller segments respond to LRT relative to competing modes. This study examines whether car owners and non-car owners exhibit d...
