Bicycles and public transportation are modes of sustainable transport that reduce both the increasing levels of pollution and traffic congestion and the worrying statistics concerning obesity and physical inactivity. This article shows results of the application of a stated preferences survey in the city of Ocaña, Colombia, to identify factors that...
Background: Sexual harassment in public transportation is a growing concern, particularly among women. Over the years, there have been several programs and policies to mitigate sexual harassment while using public transport. However, there is little evidence of the effectiveness of these strategies, especially in Latin America. Objective: This inve...
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has the potential to improve urban mobility by reducing car ownership and promoting multimodal transport through a single mobility app that provides trip planners, booking, ticketing, and payment for different modes and bundles. However, not all existing MaaS (or potential MaaS) systems provide a fully integrated system...
Objectives. For several years, the so-called 'gig economy' has kept transforming urban transportation dynamics. However, the literature has often overlooked the demanding, stressful and safety-compromising conditions under which delivery riders carry out their occupational tasks. This research aimed to examine whether fatigue acts as a mediating me...
Electric scooters have been a rapidly growing mode of transport in recent years. This massive proliferation has brought issues frequently addressed without sufficient technical or scientific support, especially in cities of the Global South. This study seeks to identify latent and socioeconomic factors influencing e-scooter usage and their implicat...
This Data in Brief (DiB) article presents the differences in cycling behaviors related to violations, errors, and positive behaviors by region. The study data were collected by means of a structured questionnaire applied to a full sample of 7,001 participants from 19 countries, distributed over 5 continents. This paper proposes descriptive statisti...
Although most actions aimed at promoting the use of active transport means have been con-ducted in ‘large’ cities, recent studies suggest that their cycling dynamics could hinder the ef-forts put into infrastructural, modal share, and cycling culture improvements. Aim: The present study aimed to assess the role of city sizes on riding behavioral an...
Mobility as a service is a potential solution to mobility problems; however, it raises concerns about its relationship with socio-territorial inequalities (STIs). This paper contains a systematic literature review of real-world MaaS applications and their effects on STIs. From the principle of distributive justice, we adopted the Resources, Opportu...
Shared e-scooters are a trending mobility service and are usually advertised as a sustainable transport mode which could improve urban transport. However, there are concerns regarding their overall impacts. This research conducts a socio-economic assessment of shared e-scooters, considering environmental (emissions and pollutants), social (physical...
The last few years have brought about a series of substantial changes for mobility on two wheels, especially if the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is considered as a relevant fact for transportation dynamics [1,2]. Social distancing recommendations have promoted the use of individual transportation systems instead of massive transportations means....
Given different advances in applied literature, risky and positive behaviours keep gaining ground as key contributors for riding safety outcomes. In this regard, the Cycling Behaviour Questionnaire (CBQ) represents one of the tools available to assess the core dimensions of cycling behaviour and their relationship with road safety outcomes from a b...

The growing evidence on road distraction during the recent years has shown how road distractions might be playing a relevant role on traffic crash causation. However, the empirical insights about how it works in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are really limited so far. The case of Colombian non-professional drivers remains virtually unexp...
Electric Micromobility (EM) and the use of dockless shared electric scooters (DSES) has rapidly grown in many cities worldwide. They are promoted as an accessible, low-emissions, versatile, and low-effort alternative. This article conducts a systematic review of DSES, considering their evolution, operation, regulations, user profile, environmental...
Security perception and Fear of Crime (FoC) in urban scenarios have the potential to affect travel behavior, changing people's travel choices and patterns. In this sense, the feeling of being "safe" or "at-risk" in public transportation not only depends on observable factors like illumination, travel companionship or transport crowding, but also on...
Alcohol is a global risk factor for road trauma. Although drink driving has received most of the scholarly attention, there is growing evidence of the risks of alcohol-impaired walking. Alcohol-impaired pedestrians are over-represented in fatal crashes compared to non-impaired pedestrians. Additionally, empirical evidence shows that alcohol intoxic...
Traffic crashes in Colombia have become a public health problem causing about 7,000 deaths and 45,000 severe injuries per year. Around 40% of these events occur on rural roads, taking note that the vulnerable users (pedestrians, motorcyclists, cyclists) account for the largest percentage of the victims. The objective of this research is to identify...
Different empirical studies suggest that both job strain and driving styles are significant contributors to the work-related traffic crashes suffered by professional drivers. Nevertheless, the current evidence falls considerably short when explaining why driving styles may modify (or not) the relationship between occupational stressors and professi...
Parking around university campuses has become a major issue in recent decades because of nearby congestion impacts. Objective: To determine the factors influencing parking lot selection, which is crucial to propose adequate parking demand management strategies. Materials and Methods: We evaluate different attributes using a best-worst scaling surve...
This paper addresses the real-world supply chain network design problem with a strategic multi-commodity and multi-period inventory-location problem with stochastic demands. The proposed methodology involves a complex non-linear, non-convex, mixed integer programming model, which allows for the optimization of warehouse location, demand zone’s assi...
Concrete is the most used building material worldwide, involving thousands of field, academic and laboratory professionals in its production, transportation and its
application, which creates a great margin of possible error that may yield in a poor quality concrete. Each professional takes care of the concrete quality according to
his/her experien...

Each professional addresses the concrete quality according to his/her experience or ac...
In the present day, it is increasingly more important for the companies to have a distribution network that minimize the logistic costs without reducing the level of service to the customer (delivery time, enough inventory, etc.). To reach conciliation within these objectives that may look conflicting requires developing some tools that allow decis...
Resumen La evaluación de la calidad de vida urbana se desarrolla a través de indicadores denominados índices de calidad de vida urbana (ICVU), que permiten expresarla en escala numérica siendo de gran importancia para investigadores, planificadores y encargados de la gestión pública en la toma de decisiones. En Colombia no se ha realizado trabajos...
The urban quality of life assessment has been carried out through indicators called Urban Quality of Life Index (UQLI) allowing to express it in a numeric scale and becoming in very useful tool for researchers, urban planners and public managers in the decision making. In Colombia there is not previous works to compare the Urban Quality of Life bet...
