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...

In cities, rapid transit corridors are usually seen as ways to move people around, but this paper argues they are even more important for shaping how cities grow, boosting the economy, and ensuring everyone has fair access. It...

In a world that is increasingly connected and digital, cybersecurity is no longer simply an operational requirement. It is an economic necessity that is vital to the ongoing health of any business. As the rail industry undergoes...

Our world is changing faster than ever. From the impact of extreme events and situations beyond our control to new trends and behaviours, rapidly popularised by social media and the influencer community- all impact on business...

Braking control techniques for railway vehicles have seen significant advancements over the past few decades, with notable developments in recent years. Due to the complexity of railway vehicle systems, these techniques span a...

This study develops a Smart Mobility Index (SMI) tailored to the 17 Local Government Units (LGUs) of Metro Manila to evaluate their readiness to adopt integrated, efficient, and technology-enabled mobility systems. While global...

Saudi Arabia is entering one of the most transformative periods in its mobility journey. As the Kingdom accelerates its Vision 2030 ambitions, the movement of people, goods, and services is becoming a central pillar of economic...

The decarbonization of urban public transport is a key objective of European climate and energy policies, driving the adoption of alternative propulsion technologies for city buses. Battery-electric and hydrogen-based...

Adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is widely considered as a crucial step in decarbonizing urban mobility. While access to private ownership of EVs is socially and spatially still highly unequal, shared electric mobility has...

Rapid urbanization and motorization have intensified congestion, emissions, and inequity in urban transport systems, particularly in developing countries. Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP) emphasizes integrated...
