Empirical analysis of impact of multi-class commercial vehicles on multi-lane highway traffic characteristics under mixed traffic conditions

Exploring the influences of personal attitudes on the intention of continuing online grocery shopping after the COVID-19 pandemic

“…Furthermore, and in long run, the concept of e commerce and online shopping might affect urban sprawl and residential relocation ( Yang et al, 2021 , Nahiduzzaman et al, 2019 , Nahiduzzaman et al, 2021 , Nanda et al, 2021 , Beckers and Verhetsel, 2021 ). At aggregate level, the adoption of new logistic and supply chain models in the context of smart cities might result in a higher share of commercial vehicles and heavy trucks on the roads, which in turn can lead to adverse impacts on infrastructure quality (e.g., accelerated wear and tear), traffic congestion, air quality and traffic safety ( Singh and Santhakumar, 2021 , Pan et al, 2019 , Badri, 2020 , Schade et al, 2018 , Seifert and Markoff, 2017 ).…”

A Statistically Based Model for the Characterization of Vehicle Interactions and Vehicle Platoons Formation on Two-Lane Roads

“…Moreover, very recent works have also dealt with the topic, with particular attention paid to the presence of different vehicle categories, such as heavy-duty and commercial vehicles (HD) of different types, and connected autonomous vehicles (CAV) [9][10][11].…”

“…From this point of view, further investigations will be addressed through continuing the research on TLR-SPM. These will concern interesting insights about the presence of other vehicular categories, such as heavy-duty (HD) and connected automated vehicles (CAV) [9][10][11] in the "smart road" context [41], and the influence of local fluctuations in traffic parameters extended to different geometric characteristics and road regulations than those examined here, with comparisons, sensitivity analyses, and the application of other alternative methods.…”
