Research exploring the relationship between transport connectivity and regional development is trending, particularly in the context of new infrastructure projects and their socio-economic impacts. - Consumer Preferences and Behavioral Insights:
An increase in studies examining consumer preferences, particularly towards shared mobility and electric vehicles, reflects a growing interest in behavioral economics within transport.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Freight Transport Models:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies focused solely on traditional freight transport models, as newer, more integrated approaches to logistics and supply chains gain prominence. - Static Infrastructure Analysis:
Research centered on static infrastructure analysis without considering dynamic factors, such as changing demand patterns and technological advancements, is becoming less common. - Regional Transport Systems without Global Context:
Papers that only address regional transport systems in isolation, without linking them to global economic trends and implications, are decreasing in frequency. - Single-Modal Transport Studies:
The focus on single-modal transport systems, rather than intermodal approaches that consider connections between various transport modes, is waning as the need for integrated transport solutions grows. - Outdated Economic Theories in Transport Economics:
Research that relies on outdated economic theories and does not incorporate contemporary developments in transport economics is becoming less prevalent.
