High-speed rail (HSR) represents a significant transport investment designed to drive economic growth and enhance long-distance regional connectivity. While HSR has demonstrated strong competitive performance against road and...

The transition towards low-carbon and inclusive urban mobility has become increasingly important as cities seek to reduce transport-related greenhouse gas emissions while addressing congestion, road safety, pollution and unequal...

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) has emerged as a promising approach to urban transportation by integrating multiple mobility services into a single digital platform for trip planning, booking, and payment. More recently, Artificial...

The consequences of changing climate conditions and associated extreme weather are increasingly discussed in the global railway transport sector, as infrastructure damage and service disruptions are more widely reported. The...

Due  to  the  rapid  urbanization,  economic  growth,  and  the  related  environmental  and  other  externalities,  pivotal  challenges  can be...

The King Abdulaziz Public Transport Project in Riyadh is one of the massive undertakings that could transform mobility and quality of life in the Saudi capital. However, a full grasp of its many-sided consequences is still hard...

Ghana is experiencing rapid urbanisation, with an increasing proportion of its population living in cities. In 2020, 50.4 % of the population resided in urban areas, a significant rise from 38.4 % in 2000 (Korah et al., 2025)....

This study focuses on China’s full-cycle “planning-construction-operation” TOD model, employing empirical analysis of Hangzhou’s ten-stage development framework and Beijing’s phased optimisation...

Ensuring safety in autonomous vehicles (AVs) requires predictive control methods that can handle dynamic constraints, uncertain interactions, and real-time decision making. This review examines safety-oriented model predictive...

This paper examines the evolution of urban transport policy in Saudi Arabia from a car-dependent paradigm toward sustainability-oriented planning and early implementation between 2000 and 2025. Using a longitudinal qualitative...

Against this backdrop, the global multimodal transportation services market is projected to grow from $98.61 billion in 2025 to $159.30 billion by 2032, signalling a $60.7 billion growth opportunity, according to...

Urban mobility is increasingly conceptualized as a multidimensional, user-centered domain of transport system evaluation with potential implications for population health. This study examined the association between...

Urban growth has transformed cities, with global urban population rising from 34% in 1960 to 57% in 2022. Due to rapid urbanisation, challenges like traffic congestion and pollution have prompted investments in public transit...

Regulations in some countries of the world allow self-driving vehicles (private cars and robo-taxis) to operate on geofenced, public roads, yet governments are slow to plan as how best to use this automated technology. We pose...

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s commercial capital, continues to experience severe urban mobility challenges driven by rapid population growth, increasing motorization, and limited transport infrastructure capacity. These challenges...

Demand-responsive transport (DRT) services are increasingly recognised as an effective solution for enhancing accessibility, particularly in low-demand and peripheral areas. Existing scientific research has investigated DRT as a...

Smart mobility is a vital part of a smart city. Autonomous public transport buses are becoming an increasingly noticeable and significant component of smart mobility. This study examines and compares trials of autonomous public...

This study examines the integration of urban transport planning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing a shift from mobility-focused approaches to accessibility, sustainability, and inclusion. Using a systematic...

With global urbanisation anticipated to reach 68% by 2050, there is a significant risk of exacerbating urban transport emissions. Urban transport decarbonisation is a complex adaptive system challenge, the understanding and...
