The aim of innovations in road safety is to contribute to the better protection of road users and to minimize damage to their property. The main objective of this article is to identify disparities in perceptions of a front braking light by examining the road safety of road users based on their type of employment and the number of kilometers driven per year. The research will evaluate the attitudes of selected groups of road users based on the number of kilometers driven in a calendar year and whether driving a motor vehicle is their main duty as part of their job. The analysis involved 239 respondents using a paper questionnaire. Disparities in perceptions of innovations, with regard to road safety, were evaluated using contingency tables, chi-square tests, non-parametric tests, and Cramer’s V. Road users feel much safer with a front braking light when crossing traffic comprising vehicles and pedestrians (71%), at pedestrian crossings (74%), when turning left (63.4%), as well as when crossing traffic comprising multiple vehicles (62.5%). Disparities between respondents based on the type of employment of the road user were not confirmed. Road users with a higher number of driven kilometers have a more positive perception of the front braking light at pedestrian crossings.

“…The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in developing countries has introduced various mobility restrictions between regions that are functionally connected, altering the structure and dynamics of labor markets. Considering this, policymakers should carefully manage the evolving dynamics of the transportation system while also prioritizing commuter safety (Carriel, Lufin, & Pérez-Trujillo, 2022;Mayo, Maglasang, Moridpour, & Taboada, 2022). A plausible approach for addressing issues related to driving-related fatigue involves a two-pronged strategy.…”

This paper focuses on modeling transportation mode choice for commuting to work and school. The study employs a Multinomial Logit (MNL) model to examine how individuals choose their modes of transportation for work and school trips in Hawassa city. Additionally, the study aims to predict both the current and future distribution of transportation modes. To construct the model, surveys were distributed across the city's seven sub-cities, involving inspections of workplace and school travel. Primary data were collected through site visits to key transportation hubs, and travel cost data were obtained from the city's Road and Transportation Bureau. The data used for the MNL model describe the travel behaviors of employees and students, and these behaviors are integrated into the statistical analysis to formulate utility functions. The choice of transportation mode for a trip is treated as the dependent variable, while independent variables include factors like out-of-vehicle travel time, in-vehicle travel time, and travel cost. The model's validity and accuracy were assessed by examining the direction of parameter signs and comparing them to the fundamental properties of the MNL model. The study revealed that factors such as average monthly income, in-vehicle travel time, out-of-vehicle travel time, total travel cost, and comfort during the journey significantly influence individuals' choices of transportation modes. The results from the travel behavior forecast, which examines how employees choose their transportation modes, highlight the pressing need for implementing effective policy measures to incentivize the adoption of more sustainable transportation modes and promote a modal shift. Without such measures, employees are likely to increasingly favor motorcycles as their preferred mode of transportation, potentially exacerbating issues related to fuel consumption and congestion. It's evident that students tend to favor public transportation over motorcycles when selecting their mode of travel. The findings of this study offer valuable insights to decision-makers and transportation planners, shedding light on the critical factors influencing travel patterns, as well as providing estimates of existing and future market shares. These findings can serve as a foundation for crafting targeted policy adjustments to encourage sustainable transportation choices in a comprehensive manner.

“…According to its assumptions, modern transport should effectively meet the needs of society, be economically efficient, and at the same time have a positive impact on the environment, public health, economy, and urban planning [4]. Therefore, based on the guidelines of sustainable transport policy, the duties of cities include [5][6][7][8].…”

Currently, short-term car rental services (car-sharing) are a solution that is an alternative to individual motorization, which can be used in cities. With the level of sophistication of the relevant systems, there are more and more problems with their proper functioning. However, to understand the essence of some of the problems or properly introduce a new system to the market, it is important to understand how the systems work and the main relationships between the factors affecting car-sharing. This work aims to comprehensively present the most important aspects related to the functioning of car-sharing in light of the current research, as a form of compendium of knowledge about car-sharing. A review of the literature indicates that the leading areas of research in the field of car-sharing are seven topics related to the origin and history of services, the analysis of the functioning of the services market and criteria affecting the development of the relevant systems, the management of vehicle systems and location, issues related to the sustainable development of transport, IT systems, electromobility in car-sharing, and service optimization and modeling. A detailed analysis of the work carried out in this area allowed for the identification of 15 leading factors influencing car-sharing. This article supports the implementation and improvement of car-sharing services. In addition, it supports researchers during literature reviews and the search for a coherent list of the factors influencing car-sharing.
