Ego Depletion-Induced Aberrant Driving in the Post-Work Commute
… by which workday experiences spill over to the commute and impair driving safety. To examine the daily influences of these within-person processes on driving behavior in the post-work commute, this study adopted a daily survey design, wherein participants took an online survey immediately before …

To drive, or not to drive: Mode choice in daily commute
Mode choice for daily commute refers to the process whereby commuters choose a travel mode for their daily trips to work. Despite its ordinary nature, it often involves a series of decisions and consideration of various factors and barriers. More research is needed to understand the various aspects …

Regional Airline Pilot Commute: How Commuting by Air Affects Pilots' Satisfaction with Life
… pilots alike lack proper understanding how pilot commutes by airplane affect satisfaction with life. There are numerous studies on how commuting by vehicle, bicycle, mass transit system, or walking (traditional commute) to and from work affects one’s satisfaction with life. There are no identified …

Measuring Accessibility and Explaining Trends in Commute Mode Choice in Washington, D.C. from 1970 - 2000
… born were the strongest predictors of change in commute mode share followed by distance to train station. Land use variables demonstrated weak correlations with variations in mode share due most likely to a lack of density gradient within the study area. The creation of variables to determine …

Increasing Saudi females' accessibility to employment via car-pooling in Riyadh : measure the realistic commute cost by network computing methods and investigate the share-ability based on actual taxi trip data
… or take the taxi. These few options pose high commute cost on Saudi females, hence their access to economic opportunities is restrained, especially among lower car ownership segments. Such restrictions have negative influence on Saudi females' employment. The employment rate of Saudi women is …

Commuting Analysis in a Small Metropolitan Area - A Case Study of Bowling Green/Warren County, Kentucky
<p>In previous studies of urban commutes, little attention has been paid to commute patterns in smaller urban areas. In this study, the concept of "excess commute" (EC) is applied to the Bowling Green-Warren County Metropolitan Statistical Area (BGWCMSA) in Kentucky. EC quantifies the portion of …

Smart Travel Recommender System
… a recommendation engine to suggest the optimum commute mode based on variables such as air quality, distance, weather, and users’ preferences. To make it more realistic and adaptive, our algorithm gives more weight to newer commute observations and preferences while suppressing the impact of the …

Understanding the impact of built environment on travel behaviour with activity-based modelling: Evidence from Beijing
… using the proposed model show that, both commute and non-commute travel are more sensitive to the built environment in proximity to home (in my experiment, 500 metre buffer zone). In the context of Beijing, the total car use and commute car use of a person is significantly affected by the …

Does better sleep set the stage for a physically active and progressive workday? Considerations across the daily cycle of rest, commuting, and work
… specifically for employees who primarily commute to a physical work location. Using the effort-recovery model, I hypothesized that nightly sleep quality will positively covary with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. I additionally considered a potential moderating influence of commute …

An acoustical based approach to conceptual design of non-traditional rotorcraft configurations
As interstate and highway traffic increases, commute times become drastically large. Such large commute times create fatigue and take away from productive hours at work, or joyful hours at home. The idea of urban air mobility becomes increasingly more attractive and viable as technology improves. …
