Intermodality or combining more than one transport mode during a single trip has been put forward to facilitate a modal shift from private car to more environmentally friendly modes such as public transport, cycling or walking. Bike-and-ride – that is, integrating cycling and public transport in one trip – is an attractive combination, as cycling a...
Global society is rapidly ageing. Research on ageing and mobility suggests that better synergies could exist between older people and the built environment. The age-in-place policy will put increased demands on the transport system as a key facilitator for access. The main goal of this study is to examine the spatial distribution of older adults, a...
Since bicycles and bike-sharing systems are becoming increasingly important in modern transportation contexts, we suggest in this paper an alternative method to incorporate cycling among the freight transport alternatives within urban areas. We propose pursuing a sustainable initiative of crowdsourced delivery where some of the urban good deliverie...

Bike-sharing systems are an emerging form of Mobility in many Cities worldwide. The Travel patterns of users that take advantage of Smart devices to ride a shared-bicycle in two large Cities (Chicago and Budapest) have been investigated, with analysis of approximately two million transaction data records associated with bike trips made over a three...
The implementation of an appropriate pricing policy in an urban area could alleviate both environmental and congestion problems by encouraging a shift towards more sustainable modes of transportation. However, any positive net social welfare balance delivered by the policy can hide unacceptable regressive effects. Therefore, it is crucial to invest...
Una sfida molto sentita nell'ambito della mobilità sostenibile è quella di pianificare e operare servizi equi da un punto di vista sia geografico che sociale. Le nuove forme di mobilità, infatti, possono esacerbare le disuguaglianze preesistenti nell'accesso ai sistemi di trasporto pubblico escludendo alcune aree urbane quali ad esempio i quartieri...
Public transportation (PT) is an essential system for cities to achieve sustainability. However, determination of proper locations for PT stations and finding suitable routes are critical decisions. This paper aims to propose a novel method to determine BRT stations and routes in the cities, using Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and Binary Integer Pro...
Space Syntax theory is a methodological framework for describing and analysing the relationships between spaces and buildings. The fundamental building blocks of Space Syntax are called axial lines, which represent lines of sight from a specific point in space. These lines can then be used to quantitatively analyse the integration (or attractivenes...
EDITORIAL for the Special Issue: "Toward Sustainability: Bike-Sharing Systems Design, Simulation and Management"
The goal of this Special Issue is to discuss new challenges in the simulation and management problems of both traditional and innovative BSSs, to ultimately encourage the competitiveness and attractiveness of BSSs and contribute to the...
This paper focuses on the efficiency evaluation of bike-sharing systems (BSSs) and develops an approach based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) to support the decisions regarding the performance evaluation of BSS stations. The proposed methodology is applied and tested for the Malmöbybike BSS in Malmö, Sweden. This was done by employing spatial an...
Investment in railways, and transport infrastructure in general, are often motivated because they are believed to improve peoples’ accessibility to jobs. By linking together and increasing the size of labour markets, the matching between individuals and jobs is improved, and the productivity increases. Communities and municipalities lobby for inves...
This study was aimed at comparing cyclists’ perceptions of comfort when in traffic and when online. Questions about comfort were structured according to three hierarchical levels, namely strategic (city level), tactical (frequent route level) and operational (survey spot level). The purpose is to understand how the cyclists’ perceptions of comfort...
Efficient and sustainable mobility is becoming a need for emerging metropolitan areas, essential to grant their attractiveness, quality of life and economic power. Among the possible strategies to adopt, shared mobility systems have proven to be a valuable alternative to accommodate the mobility needs of citizens ensuring at the same time sustainab...

This study suggests an optimization framework to plan and design a network of bike lanes in an urban context, based on equity principles and subject to a given available budget. The novelty of the proposal consists in an objective function that aims at minimizing the existing inequities among different population groups in terms of accessibility/op...
In the transportation literature, equity has been and is still used with a variety of meanings and purposes. Traditionally, equity has been considered in strategic transport planning but very few works have been addressing it in a quantitative way, detailing how to explicitly consider it at a transportation design level (tactical and/or operational...
Over the past decade, the number of ongoing bike-sharing programs has remarkably risen. In this framework, operators need appropriate methodologies to support them in optimizing the allocation of their resources to globally enhance the bike-sharing program, even without massive and costly interventions on the existing configuration of the system....
Given the growing importance of bike-sharing systems nowadays, in this paper we suggest an alternative approach to mitigate the most crucial problem related to them: the imbalance of bicycles between zones owing to one-way trips. In particular, we focus on the emerging free-floating systems, where bikes can be delivered or picked-up almost everywhe...
Recently, vehicle sharing emerged as a new type of mobility service. In particular, if these systems happen to be free-floating, their operating area is typically located within the city and vehicles could be picked-up and parked in any permitted spot, and not only at predetermined stations. This specific feature enables everyone to pick-up and dro...
Promoting a more sustainable development of urban realities is one of the most important goals of the recent decades. One possible strategy to undertake in order to achieve this objective is the implementation of a road pricing: tolling private cars when passing by certain roads of the network could be a way to tone down the traffic congestion and,...
The attractiveness of cycling- and in particular of bike-sharing systems-as a sustainable alternative of transportation is constantly growing, given the undeniable benefits associated with it. The aim of this paper is to present a multi-objective model based on a Fuzzy Inference System to be embedded in a mobile application that could assist cyclis...
Transport related equity refers to the distribution of impacts (benefits and/or
costs) throughout all sectors of society, and whether that distribution is considered
fair and appropriate. Horizontal equity concerns distribution among individuals or
groups considered equal in ability and necessities, whereas vertical equity should be
considered in s...
Most of the models for solving the transportation Network Design Problem (NDP) often neglect equity goals that, assuming the societal function of transportation systems, should play an important role. The NDP should be addressed to solutions in which the outcomes of the design (costs and/or benefits) are distributed as fairly as possible among the...
In transportation planning, solutions designed to meet objectives of equity and social inclusion have to be achieved. From this standpoint, most of Network Design Problem (NDP) models aim at identifying the optimal layout of transportation networks by deterministic bi-level problems formulation to reflect the different goals of at least two decisio...
We propose a formulation of the Network Design Problem (NDP) to support transport planners in dealing with multimodal networks in contexts characterised by different (and sometimes conflicting) interests and limited resources in a transparent way. We expect that the implementation of the method can increase the acceptability of transport schemes. T...
Free-floating bike sharing systems are an emerging new generation of bike rentals, that eliminates the need for specific stations and allows to leave a bicycle (almost) everywhere in the network. Although free-floating bikes allow much greater spontaneity and flexibility for the user, they need additional operational challenges especially in facing...
Equity refers to a fair sharing of costs or resources. Horizontal equity concerns distribution among individuals or groups with the same necessities, whereas vertical equity should be considered in situations with different levels of needs. This paper deals with transit service, looking at how to make it equitable from a spatial and social point of...

The concept of transport corridors is marked by a concentration of freight traffic between major hubs and by relatively long distances of transport. Green transport corridors will reflect an integrated transport concept where short sea shipping, rail, inland waterways and road complement each other to enable the choice of environmentally friendly t...
Transportation planning should usually imply a proper tradeoff between equity and other planning objectives. Traditional approaches often neglect equity goals that, conversely, should play an important role in transport network design problem (NDP) assuming the societal function of transport services. In addition, the mathematical formulation of th...
The main aim of Green Intermodal Freight Transport (GIFT) project is to map, analyze, and evaluate the status of the transport sector in the South East Europe Regions and to propose new policies and strategies in infrastructure , processes, assets, ICT, legislation, norms and harmoniza-tion/standardization issues, in order to promote innovative gre...

Shared micro-mobility options are entering European cities, although at different rates. While the first insights about usage patterns, sustainability outcomes and equity effects start to accumulate, there is an emerging need for cities to develop a strategic view on the deployment of these new mobility options: How can shared micro mobility (SMM) options best be combined with existing transport systems to increase accessibility for all and add to sustainable transportation solutions?
REEMOS is established to both quantitatively and qualitatively explore a potential role of mobility equity and mobility efficiency in solving societal challenges that Sweden and Japan experience – both in rural and urban areas.
The project aims at learning and exchanging successful experiences of efficiency and equity in mobility in Japan and in Sweden to produce innovative and synergistic insights into how to enhance different modes of mobility in order to address social challenges in both countries.
The project focuses on three specific areas: Transit Oriented Development (TOD), Sharing Mobility, and Urban Livability.
In transportation planning, solutions designed to meet objectives of equity and social inclusion have to be achieved. From this standpoint, most of Network Design Problem (NDP) models aim at identifying the optimal layout of transportation networks by deterministic bi-level problems formulation to reflect the different goals of at least two decision makers (the network users and the planner/manager).
Considering the societal function of transport systems, the NDP, even at operational level, should be addressed also to the research of solutions in which the outcomes of the design (costs and/or benefits) are distributed as much as possible among the potential users or classes of users.
Traditional approaches often neglect equity goals that, conversely, should play an important role. In this project we focus on Equity Based NDP where the optimal layout of a transport (mono or multimodal) network is determined by minimizing the total system cost cosidering equity as design control variable. We consider both horizontal and vertical equity criteria aiming at maximizing user satisfaction according to all the design constraints. To this purpose we also define different and novel Equity indicators that allow to evaluate the fairness of the network design solutions with respect to different groups of users divided with respect their transportation needs and socio-economic level (for ex. elder, unemployed, low-income, etc).
