“…The main purpose of bibliometric reviews is to assess the body of existing empirical literature to determine possible research gaps and highlight the limits of knowledge [20]. The bibliometric analysis uses quantitative methods to classify data, produces representative summaries, and is recognized as a useful approach to analyzing the performance of journals, institutions, authors, and the characteristics of research topics [36]. In our study, to quantify the influence of publications, authors, and journals, we have analyzed various bibliometric indicators, including the number of publications, total citations, citations per article, the main journals, most relevant universities, and the most influential countries in the matter.…”

Sustainable Tourism Development and Economic Growth: Bibliometric Review and Analysis

et al. 2021

Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in studying the impact of sustainable tourism development on economic growth. However, despite its recent scope, the scientific literature published so far has not evaluated the performance of the scientific activity of this relationship. Consequently, this study analyzes the 668 articles published to date in the Web of Science database on the effect that sustainable tourism development has on the overall long-term progress of the economy. To this end, we carry out an analysis of the most recognized authors, regions with the highest percentage of scientific production, most influential organizations, the co-occurrence of keywords, most prominent citations, publications, and co-authorship among the most recognized authors. The results obtained show the trend and impact of the literature published to date and the established and emerging research groups. Also, they identify key research topics in a way that provides a planning framework for further research in this field.

“…Conceptually, these dynamic models resemble the traditional bottleneck problem of road traffic management and pricing (see recent reviews by Small 2015 ; Li et al. 2020 ). In public transport, the purpose of the dynamic fare is to replace the user cost of queueing with a payment.…”

Social distancing in public transport: mobilising new technologies for demand management under the Covid-19 crisis

2021

Dense urban areas are especially hardly hit by the Covid-19 crisis due to the limited availability of public transport, one of the most efficient means of mass mobility. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, public transport operators are experiencing steep declines in demand and fare revenues due to the perceived risk of infection within vehicles and other facilities. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibilities of implementing social distancing in public transport in line with epidemiological advice. Social distancing requires effective demand management to keep vehicle occupancy rates under a predefined threshold, both spatially and temporally. We review the literature of five demand management methods enabled by new information and ticketing technologies: (i) inflow control with queueing, (ii) time and space dependent pricing, (iii) capacity reservation with advance booking, (iv) slot auctioning, and (v) tradeable travel permit schemes. Thus the paper collects the relevant literature into a single point of reference, and provides interpretation from the viewpoint of practical applicability during and after the pandemic.

“…This way the bottleneck capacity remains fully utilised during the peak period, and drivers set their departure times optimally without queueing, due to the monetary incentive. Li et al (2020) presented a comprehensive review of the evolution of scientific investigations of the bottleneck problem.…”

Public transport provision requires substantial organisational efforts, careful planning, financial contributions from the public, and coordination between millions of passengers and staff members in large systems. Efficient resource allocation is critical in its daily operations. Therefore, public transport has been among the most popular subjects in transport economics since the infancy of this discipline. This paper presents an overview of the literature developed over the past half century, including more than 300 important contributions. With a strong methodological orientation, it collects, classifies, and compares the frequently used analytical modelling techniques, thus providing a cookbook for future research and learning efforts. We discuss key findings on optimal capacity provision, pricing, cost recovery and subsidies, externalities, private operations, public service regulation, and cross-cutting subjects, such as interlinks with urban economics, political economy, and emerging mobility technologies.
