Declining or Waning
- Traditional Transportation Modes:
Research on conventional transport modes, such as personal vehicles and traditional public transport systems, has seen a decline as more emphasis is placed on sustainable and innovative transportation solutions. - Infrastructure Expansion Without Sustainability:
There is a noticeable decline in papers advocating for large-scale infrastructure expansion without considering sustainability, as the focus shifts towards integrating sustainability into all aspects of transport planning. - Static Models of Transport Demand:
The use of traditional, static models for predicting transport demand is decreasing in favor of dynamic, behavioral models that consider real-time data and individual preferences. - Single-Mode Transportation Studies:
Research focusing exclusively on single modes of transport (e.g., only rail or only road) is becoming less common as there is a growing interest in multimodal and integrated transport systems. - Longitudinal Studies of Transport Behavior:
Long-term studies examining transport behavior trends are less frequent, possibly overshadowed by immediate responses to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
