Background COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge that the world had never encountered in the last 100 years. In order to mitigate its negative effects, governments worldwide took action by prohibiting at first certain activities and in some cases by a countrywide lockdown. Greece was among the countries that were struck by the pandemic. Governmental authorities took action in limiting the spread of the pandemic through a series of countermeasures, which built up to a countrywide lockdown that lasted 42 days. Methodology This research aims at identifying the effect of certain socioeconomic factors on the travel behaviour of Greek citizens and at investigating whether any social groups were comparatively less privileged or suffered more from the lockdown. To this end, a dynamic online questionnaire survey on mobility characteristics was designed and distributed to Greek citizens during the lockdown period, which resulted in 1,259 valid responses. Collected data were analysed through descriptive and inferential statistical tests, in order to identify mobility patterns and correlations with certain socioeconomic characteristics. Additionally, a Generalised Linear Model (GLM) was developed in order to examine the potential influence of socioeconomic characteristics to trip frequency before and during the lockdown period. Results Outcomes indicate a decisive decrease in trip frequencies due to the lockdown. Furthermore, the model’s results indicate significant correlations between gender, income and trip frequencies during the lockdown, something that is not evident in the pre-pandemic era.

Intersection safety and drivers’ behavior are strongly interrelated, especially when the latter are located in dilemma zone. This paper explores, among others, the main factors affecting driver behavior, such as distance to stop line, approaching speed and acceleration/deceleration, and two additional factors, namely, driver’s aggressiveness and driver’s relative position at the onset of the yellow signal. Field data were collected using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology. Two binary choice models were developed, the first relying on observed data and the latter enriched by the latent factor drivers’ aggressiveness and the vehicles’ relative position. Drivers were classified to aggressive and non-aggressive ones using a latent class model that combined approaching speed and acceleration/deceleration data. Drivers were further grouped according to their expected reaction/decision to stop or cross the intersection in relation to their relative position. Both models equally explain drivers’ decisions adequately, but the second one offers additional explanatory power attributed to aggressiveness. Being able to identify the level of aggressiveness among the drivers enables the calculation of the probability that drivers will cross the intersection even if caught in a dilemma zone or in a zone in which the obvious decision is to stop. Such findings can be valuable when designing a signalized intersection and the traffic time settings, as well as the posted speed limit.

Currently, there has been a research focus on exploiting the information that can be extracted from social media platforms for scientific purposes. Social media data is dynamic, user-generated, and includes a combination of spatial, temporal, and textual information. Mining and analyzing transport information from social media is a relatively new field and it can be used during transportation planning and management, as well as for supporting the achievement of specific transport policy goals. In addition, social media provide public transport agencies with an unparalleled opportunity to connect with their customers. This paper explores the use of social media among public transport agencies in Europe. In this context, a relevant literature review was combined with original findings obtained from a survey on selected public transport agencies. Relevant information was derived from online sources, including blog posts, websites, online journals and publications. The survey results provided an integrated overview of the use of social media among the selected agencies. Public transport operators use social media mainly for: (a) real-time updates and information, (b) information to customers regarding services, fares, and services disruptions, (c) engaging citizens by handling complaints and inquiries, (d) employee recognition and recruitment of staff and (e) video entertainment and contests. Twitter was most commonly used for short communications and service updates, Facebook for short announcements and service updates, but also for community building and branding. Organizations employ YouTube and Instagram to build community support, whereas LinkedIn was used for networking and recruitment.

The bloom of computer engineering and data science unveils new potential for several business sectors, regarding the enhancement of their operational functions. Transport stakeholders can benefit from computer science advances, such as Artificial Intelligence (ΑΙ) or Data Mining (DM) techniques, which can contribute to the utilization of existing data and maximize their productive efficiency. Reduced operating costs, decreased travel times, as well as faster freight delivery times are among several gains that can be achieved through the adoption of such techniques. Analysing transport related social media content could also provide useful insight into customers’ needs and preferences based on their social media behaviour. However, the aforementioned computer science fields are relatively new and require advanced hardware as well as necessary expertise. Thus, the take – up from transport operators is not significant yet. In this paper, we provide an overview of the currently applied AI and DM techniques in corporate decision making, planning, and management practiced by various transport operators worldwide. Our literature review highlights original findings and case studies from selected freight and passenger transport operators in Greece. To further investigate their activities, a questionnaire survey was conducted to examine the existence of a systematic data collection system, the processes of data mining and analysis applied (if any) and most importantly the fields where the information derived from data analysis is exploited. Survey findings reveal the relative maturity of Greek transport operators for applying AI and DM techniques.

Sustainable urban mobility is now a well-established concept in European cities which, during the last decade, they continuously put significant effort into elaborating sustainable urban mobility plans and upgrading their systems in favor of environmentally friendly transport modes. Walking is being gradually established as a primary pillar of urban mobility by being promoted as an attractive transport solution for both door-to-door and last mile trips. In order to increase walking modal shares, cities should provide a high-quality pedestrian mobility environment both in terms of related services and infrastructures. This study presents several results from a structured walkability audit process for evaluating pedestrian mobility conditions in urban areas. The study examines the case of small cities in Greece which so far have been characterized by a more car-oriented transport development and experience comparatively higher difficulties into securing appropriate funding for sustainable transport investments. In this study’s context, the proposed walkability audit has been performed in three (3) small Greek cities which represent different urban development models, i.e. a city with a physical barrier (Trikala), a historical small city with particular town layout (Mesologgi) and a city with high inclinations (Kavala). For each city case, key pedestrian quality and quantity indicators, such as sidewalks operating width per reference network length, quality of sidewalk pavement and pedestrians’ perceived safety and security, are measured and discussed. Comparative analysis of these indicators demonstrates critical strengths and weaknesses in each city and assists into prioritizing appropriate pedestrian mοbility improvement actions.

Urban areas have a primary role in the world today. Almost half of the worldwide population lives in cities, while more than 80% of the global GDP is generated in these areas. On the other hand, cities account for 80% of the energy production and over 67% of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions. In this framework, city centres are generally considered as the most critical areas in urban and transport planning, as they attract a significant share of trips, and in tandem with the complex traffic problems and challenges such as congestion, they face serious environmental issues. In an attempt to mitigate the problems mentioned above, planners promote the sustainable mobility measures and principles, including the green modes of transport and the implementation of traffic calming interventions. In this context, the current paper presents a “before and after” study focusing on the traffic calming interventions that were implemented in the centre of the city of Serres, Greece during the last years. To this end, a traffic simulation model (VISUM), as well as a Road Emissions Calculating Model (COPERT), were developed, while an analysis of traffic accidents was also conducted. Moreover, the acceptance of the interventions among the citizens was also assessed through a questionnaire survey. The results pointed out that the interventions in the centre of Serres have met with great success as the quality of the environment and life, in general, was improved significantly.

In this paper, we explore users’ intentions to use bike-sharing systems (BSS) compared to traditional competitive transport modes—private car, bus and walking. Fueled by the increasingly rampant growth of shared economy and Information and Communication Technology (ICT), shared mobility is gaining increasing traction. The numbers of shared mobility schemes are rapidly growing worldwide and are accompanied by changes in the traditional vehicle ownership model. In order to pinpoint the factors that strongly affect the willingness to use BSS, a stated preference survey among car and bus users as well as pedestrians was designed and conducted. Binary logit models of the choice between the currently preferred transportation modes and BSSs were developed, for short and long-duration trips, respectively. The results highlight a distinctive set of factors and patterns affecting the willingness to adopt bike-sharing: choice is most sensitive to travel time and cost of the competitive travel options. In general, users are more willing to make the switch to a BSS, especially for short trip durations, when their typical mode of transport becomes more expensive. Bike-sharing also seems to be a more attractive option for certain user socio-demographic groups per mode and trip duration (age, education level, employment status, household income). Trip characteristics such as trip purpose and frequency were also found to affect the willingness to choose BSS. In general, BSS seem to mainly attract bus users and pedestrians, while car users may use BSS more sparingly, mainly for commuting purposes.

In this paper we explore factors that affect Bike Sharing System (BSS) usage and how they differentiate between discrete groups of potential users. BSS have known a rampant growth during recent years, through technological advances, re-evaluated business models and reinvention of the mean’s utility. Yet, for a realized use of dockless BSS and a successful integration in the urban mobility ecosystem to be achieved, the factors that promote willingness to use them need to be explored. By using a sample of 500 stated preference data, classification trees and random forest models are built for three groups of potential BSS users; car users, bus users and pedestrians. Among the considered factors are BSS cost gains, BSS In Vehicle Time (IVT) and Out of Vehicle Time (OVT) gains, trip frequency, purpose and duration. More specific, it was found that BSS potential, increases for short duration trips of up to 21 min for car users. Bus users and pedestrians were found to be more likely to choose a BSS option for a higher cost up to 0,60 and 0,75 euros respectively. On the other side sociodemographic characteristics such as household income, gender, education level and occupation did not found to be the dominant factors for the mode choice decision. OVT is found only to be relatively important for bus users, while the cost gains are comparatively more significant for bus users and pedestrians.

Competitive Tendering is perhaps the preferred approach for procuring Public Transport (PT) passenger services in the EU, according to its legislation. Cyprus has initiated a few years ago the second PT reform cycle which will be concluded with the awarding of six new concession contracts for passenger services by bus. This paper presents and discusses the two PT reforms in Cyprus. The aim of the second reform is to significantly increase the PT share by improving service availability and quality through the transition from a monopolistic to a more competitive PT market. According to the roadmap prepared by the Cypriot authorities, specific contracting arrangements have been set to attract both local and international PT operators to the competitive tendering process. These arrangements mostly pertain to the eligibility and selection criteria of the tendering process, the opportunity to lease PT buses from local companies and the contract type and duration. The paper sets five main questions addressing critical issues of the reform effort and provides responses through the in-depth analysis of the selected tender and contractual arrangements. Useful findings and conclusions may be drawn, especially regarding the effect of small size market and the lack of necessary PT infrastructure.

The purpose of the present study is to examine whether mining and analyzing social media data can be a powerful tool in the transportation domain. A survey of the literature based on the existing uses of social media in transportation is conducted; opportunities and barriers are also presented for the subject. Analysis of social media can provide valuable information regarding incident detection, mobility, and activity patterns as well as users’ opinions about different transport modes. The issues that need to be addressed are not few, with most important ones being the advanced mining and linguistic techniques required for the extraction of information, the reliability of the data collected, and the sample bias. The study concludes with recommendations in relation to the existing gaps in the literature, such as the need to create a transport-oriented lexicon to facilitate the process of collecting transport-related information from social media, use of social media during transport planning and operation, and finally, potential use of qualitative indicators on public transportation issues regarding the perceived level of service.

Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) have been for some years now an important tool for municipalities and regions in the European Union (EU) Member States for achieving their goals in their jurisdictions and improving the daily life of their citizens. The EU has adopted the SUMP approach and supports all related efforts through various actions and initiatives. Along these lines, the transnational project ENDURANCE attempts to promote the concept of SUMPs by creating national networks of cities and other entities that would agree, by joining them, to start developing such plans in their area. There are several different examples of such networks in the EU at European or national level. For Greece, the effort is in progress and so far meets the positive response of several Municipal Authorities. The issues that need to be addressed are not few and definitely not minor, with most important ones the lack of appropriate staff in municipal and regional services, the lack of relevant experience and culture and the lack of funding. Moreover, the absence of an appropriate policy about Sustainable mobility at national level, which would set the framework for the lower levels of government, creates additional difficulties in achieving the sought objectives. To cope with these problems, specific proposals are made based on relevant recommendations by experts and also from round table discussions at recent events about this subject. Based on a national survey made by the local ENDURANCE team (national focal point) to a number of Municipalities eager to become part of a Greek SUMP network issues such as the preferred network form and its financing, the network technical support mechanisms, staff training and the interaction with existing governance structures are examined. The preferences of the Municipalities surveyed may be exploited as a useful guidance to other SUMP network cases having similarities to Greece
