Assessing Pedestrian Stress with Biometric Sensing and Survey Responses
Recent advances in biometric sensing technologies, such as eye tracking, heart rate trackers, and galvanic skin response (GSR) sensors, offer new opportunities to measure pedestrian stress level and their travel experiences in real-time. Uncertainty remains about...
GPS-Based Street-View Greenspace Exposure and Wearable Assessed Physical Activity in a Prospective Cohort of US Women
Background Increasing evidence positively links greenspace and physical activity (PA). However, most studies use measures of greenspace, such as satellite-based vegetation indices around the residence, which fail to capture ground-level views and day-to-day dynamic...
Measuring Induced Travel Elasticities associated with Local Roads from Trip Generation
Induced travel elasticities associated with new road capacity are typically estimated for roads of higher functional classifications, such as interstate freeways and principal arterials. These are estimated as “own” elasticities, that is an increase in lane kilometers...
Comparing injuries from e-scooters, e-bikes, and bicycles in the United States
There is a growing perception that e-scooters are more dangerous than bicycles and e-bikes, with towns implementing measures to ban their usage. Yet, there is not much evidence from large scale surveys to substantiate this claim. Nearly 14,000 micromobility injuries...
