Trending and Emerging
- Mobility as a Service (MaaS):
The concept of MaaS is increasingly prevalent, emphasizing the integration of various transport services into a single accessible platform, enhancing user experience and encouraging sustainable travel choices. - Impact of COVID-19 on Travel Behavior:
An emerging area of research is the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel patterns, including changes in public transport usage and shifts in commuter behavior, which are crucial for future transport planning. - Smart and Autonomous Transport Solutions:
A growing interest in the implications of autonomous vehicles and smart technologies, focusing on their potential to transform urban mobility and improve safety and efficiency in transport systems. - Environmental Impact Assessments:
There is a heightened emphasis on the environmental impacts of transportation, with studies increasingly assessing air quality, emissions, and noise pollution as integral components of transport planning. - Inclusivity and Accessibility in Transport:
Research is increasingly addressing the needs of diverse user groups, focusing on how transport systems can be designed to be more inclusive and accessible, particularly for people with disabilities and marginalized communities.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Transport Economics:
Research centered around classic economic models of transport demand and supply has seen reduced attention, as the focus shifts towards more integrated and multidisciplinary approaches that consider social and environmental factors. - Congestion Management Strategies:
Studies specifically targeting congestion management through conventional means are increasingly overshadowed by discussions on innovative solutions such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and the role of technology in alleviating congestion. - Single-Mode Transport Analysis:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies focusing solely on traditional modes of transport (e.g., cars, buses) without considering multimodal approaches, reflecting a shift towards integrated transport systems.
