Bastián Henríquez-Jara, Thomas O. Hancock, Albert Solernou, Jorge García, C. Ángelo Guevara, Charisma Choudhury  Abstract The effect of experiences on travel mode choices is well established in the literature. Additionally, there is evidence that psychophysiological signals, such as skin conductance, can capture travel experiences without relying on self-reported measures, given their strong correlation with psychological states. However, using physiological data to estimate... read more →

Andrea Pellegrini, Andrés Fielbaum Abstract On-demand ridepooling benefits from updating its routing decisions in real-time as new information becomes available, as well as from optimising the pickup and dropoff (PUDO) points to avoid long detours. Both features indicate that it could be plausible to implement flexible walking, i.e., deciding the PUDO points dynamically, as... read more →

Andrés Fielbaum Abstract This paper investigates the coordination costs associated with how vehicles and passengers meet in space, in any mode where the vehicle is not owned by the passenger. We introduce a novel categorisation contrasting Assigned modes (where each user has a designated vehicle) with Onsite modes (where users take... read more →

Marta Contreras, Alondra Chamorro, Nikole Guerrero, Carolina Martínez, Tomás Echaveguren, Eduardo Allen and Nicolás C. Bronfman Abstract Road networks are essential for access, resource distribution, and population evacuation during natural events. These challenges are pronounced in rural areas, where network redundancy is limited and communities may have social disparities. While... read more →

Göran Smith y  Camila Balbontín Abstract There is a fundamental tension between user convenience and system efficiency in transport. This workshop set out to bridge the discussions on user-centric mobility with those on transport justice and sustainable transport. Based on eleven papers offering insights into public transport user groups and preferences, post-pandemic... read more →
