Passenger Flow‐Aware Train Scheduling Model for Minimising Energy Consumption in Urban Rail Systems
IET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.This study proposes a dynamic‐programming (DP)‐based train scheduling framework that models the interaction among passenger flow, train mass, and energy consumption, enabling energy‐efficient operation under time‐varying demand. Case studies on a real metro line show that the method reduces energy consumption by up to 10.8% while maintaining transport ...

Journal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Understanding the relationship between travel behavior and modifiable built environment attributes is essential for promoting low‐carbon urban mobility, particularly under emerging carbon peaking and neutrality targets. While previous studies have explored this relationship, limited attention has been paid to residents’ intentions for low‐carbon travel

Examining the Development Effects of Modern-Era Streetcars: An Assessment of Portland and Seattle [PDF]
, 2018 Most U.S. cities pursuing streetcars are doing so primarily for their purported development effects, as opposed to for their transportation role, yet there is little evidence about the nature or magnitude of these development effects due to a scarcity of
