A Bunch of Gaps: Factors Behind Service Reliability in Chicago’s High-Frequency Transit Network

Smart Cities
Frequent transit services in urban areas have the potential to increase their accessibility to transit-dependent riders and reduce congestion by attracting new ridership through a modal shift.

Simulation-Based Optimization in a Bidirectional $A/B$ Skip-Stop Bus Service

IEEE Access, 2017
A two-way bus corridor system always suffers severe demand imbalance between their two operational directions during the peak hours. This paper intends to minimize the average passenger travel time by applying the A/B skip-stop strategy in such an ...

Natural Entanglement Inspired Cilia‐Like Soft Gripper for Rapid Adaptive Grasping

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Inspired by natural entanglement, a lightweight, low‐cost soft gripper is developed using wire‐actuated silicone tubes. Rapid self‐entanglement enables adaptive grasping of diverse objects without the need for sensors or force feedback. Its simplicity and robustness enable effective use on mobile platforms, such as drones and underwater systems ...

Engaging With Multi‐Level Climate Governance: A Place‐Based Exploration of Public Perceptions of a Local Climate Change Strategy

Geo: Geography and Environment, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/June 2026.
Short Abstract Responsibilities for addressing climate change have been distributed across scales of governance, resulting in an increasing number of climate strategies being developed, each grounded within specific sub‐national scales. Drawing upon a relational place‐based framing, we identify tensions within the development and implementation of ...

Using community‐based participatory research to contextualize Latino exposure to community violence: A mixed qualitative and spatial analysis approach

American Journal of Community Psychology, Volume 76, Issue 3-4, Page 423-435, December 2025.
Abstract While the relationship between community violence exposure and maladaptive outcomes has been established, the dynamic between violence exposure and resilience factors in youth is not well understood. The current study utilizes a community‐based participatory research (CBPR) framework and employs a novel mixed‐methods approach integrating ...

A Decision Tree Ensemble Model for Predicting Bus Bunching

The Computer Journal, 2021
Abstract Travel delays and bus overcrowding are some of the daily dissatisfactions of public transportation users. These problems may be caused by bus bunching, an event that occurs when two or more buses are running the same route together, i.e. out of schedule.

Rethinking place in ethnic and migrant health outcomes: environmental racialisation in Auckland City Centre1 (CBD)

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 343-366, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The healthy migrant effect scholarship makes limited, if any, connections between the impacts of the physical environments of the host country on the health outcomes of migrants. The aim of this paper is to understand environmental racism/racialisation in the context of migrant‐concentrated neighbourhoods in urban settings.

Optimal bus service operation considering bus bunching elimination, bus contracting and collaborative freight transport

, 2023
Public transport services are important assets to any major city. They play a vital role in improving urban mobility, reducing car dependency, and mitigating traffic congestion. It is ideal if public transport services are financially sustainable with expedient service quality. To achieve this goal, the key lies in how the full capacity of the existing

Exploring othering and perceived harmful drinking contexts among risky drinkers: An arts‐based focus group study

British Journal of Health Psychology, Volume 30, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Objectives To explore whether people ‘other’ when making judgements about ‘harmful’ drinking and the drinking contexts (e.g., pub with friends) and features of drinking contexts (e.g., location, company) perceived as being indicative of harmful drinking. Design Focus group design with arts‐based methods. Methods Risky drinkers (AUDIT‐C ≥ 5; n =
