Trending and Emerging
- Health and Well-Being in Transport:
There is a growing focus on the impacts of transport on health and well-being, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the need for transport systems that support physical and mental health. - Equity and Justice in Transport Planning:
Research exploring transport equity and social justice issues is gaining momentum, with an emphasis on ensuring that diverse populations have fair access to transport services. - Integration of Technology and Mobility Services:
Emerging themes include the integration of technology in transport services, such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS), and how these innovations can enhance user experience and system efficiency. - Climate Change and Transport Adaptation:
Papers focusing on the adaptation of transport systems to climate change impacts, including resilience planning and sustainable practices, are increasingly prevalent. - Data-Driven Decision Making:
The use of big data analytics and machine learning techniques to inform transport policy and planning decisions is on the rise, reflecting a trend towards more evidence-based approaches.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Transport Infrastructure Studies:
Research focusing solely on conventional transport infrastructure, such as roads and highways, has seen a decline as newer studies emphasize integrated, multimodal, and sustainable transport solutions. - Static Travel Demand Forecasting Models:
There has been a noticeable reduction in papers relying solely on traditional travel demand forecasting models, with a growing preference for dynamic, behaviorally-informed approaches that consider real-time data. - Focus on Long-Distance Travel:
Topics that exclusively address long-distance travel patterns have become less common, as recent publications prioritize urban mobility, local transport systems, and accessibility for diverse populations. - Narrowly Defined Mobility Solutions:
Papers that discuss very specific mobility solutions without a broader context, such as isolated studies on a single mode of transport, are increasingly being replaced by those that take an integrated approach. - Transport Economics in Isolation:
Research that examines transport economics without considering social and environmental impacts is declining, reflecting a shift towards more holistic analyses.
