“…The Benin City transportation systems were upgraded with an advanced ITS system that assesses traffic flow in real time [100]. Medellín has implemented the sharing of transportation data between the different types of mass transit for providing a quick solution for unexpected shifts in the volume of passengers and massification of routes [101,102].…”

“…The previous studies on the ensuring of public involvement are not reliable [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69]. Despite the emerging recognition that an organized involvement of stakeholders should become central to all the relevant features of smart transportation studies [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84], limited attention has been paid to encouraging different stakeholders in all critical stages of smart city agendas [85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102]. Furthermore, visions are composed of several vital drivers and not all the key drivers are of similar desirability [115] and reflecting nuances of value-laden perspectives by separating different clusters of desirability makes i...…”

The smart city transport concept is viewed as a future vision aiming to undertake investigations on the urban planning process and to construct policy-pathways for achieving future targets. Therefore, this paper sets out three visions for the year 2035 which bring about a radical change in the level of green transport systems (often called walking, cycling, and public transport) in Turkish urban areas. A participatory visioning technique was structured according to a three-stage technique: (i) Extensive online comprehensive survey, in which potential transport measures were researched for their relevance in promoting smart transport systems in future Turkish urban areas; (ii) semi-structured interviews, where transport strategy suggestions were developed in the context of the possible imaginary urban areas and their associated contextual description of the imaginary urban areas for each vision; (iii) participatory workshops, where an innovative method was developed to explore various creative future choices and alternatives. Overall, this paper indicates that the content of the future smart transport visions was reasonable, but such visions need a considerable degree of consensus and radical approaches for tackling them. The findings offer invaluable insights to researchers inquiring about the smart transport field, and policy-makers considering applying those into practice in their local urban areas.

“…They found that the weaker section of society, such as women, low-income migrant workers and less-educated people, could take few advantage of the bike sharing systems. Moreover, Bejarano et al (2017) implemented a user experiential approach to study the user experience with a new bicycle sharing system in Medellin, Colombia. Shaheen et al (2013) studied the transportation modal shift that resulted from individuals’ participating in four public bikes haring systems in North America.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate users’ adoption of bike sharing systems in China. Design/methodology/approach This research combined perceived risk factors with existing technology diffusion theories (e.g. technology acceptance model and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology) to develop a research model to examine users’ adoption of bike sharing systems in China. As a result, a research model with 11 hypotheses was developed. The developed research model was empirically tested using data collected from a survey of 298 users in China. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data. Findings The findings indicated that perceived usefulness, facilitating conditions and perceived risks were important determinants to the adoption of bike sharing systems. However, perceived ease of use and social influence did not have significant positive impacts on users’ behavioral intention to use bike sharing systems. Practical implications It is important for service providers to dedicate their time and efforts in maintaining and repairing bikes to ensure that the bikes are in a good condition to be used. System providers need to work on good solutions to better protect users’ personal information and location information. Originality/value This study is first of its kinds in investigating the adoption of bike sharing systems by combining technology diffusion theories and perceived risk theory in China.

“…Qualitative research is scarce, appearing in only three studies (1.48%). The data collection techniques are interviews (Bejarano et al, 2017), focus groups (Fishman et al, 2012), and text mining (Kim and Hong, 2020). Four studies (1.97%) use a mixed-method approach (Bakogiannis et al, 2019;Hess and Schubert, 2019;Karki and Tao, 2016;Serna et al, 2019).…”
