“…It is not unrealistic to suppose that these two states could greatly differ between countries. This model has been successfully applied in the analysis of low and severe accidents by Fountas et al (2020). In addition, the systematic variation could also be analysed using sub-samples of the consumer population (grouped effects).…”

“…However, both methods do not permit to analyse unobserved heterogeneity as one strict assumption is that the estimated parameters are considered fixed. The main limitations arise from considering that there exists a homogeneous process that generates the outcomes for all the observations (Fountas et al, 2020).…”

“…A number of model extensions that account for unobserved heterogeneity have been proposed in other research fields mainly in accident analysis. For example, the threshold parameters can depend on a set of explanatory variables (Avsar et al, 2017;Anastasopoulos, 2018, 2017;Pudney and Shields, 2000); the coefficients can vary with the outcomes through fixed effects (Avsar et al, 2017;Cubas-Díaz and Martínez Sedano, 2018;Pfarr et al, 2010); the coefficients can vary with the observations through the use of random parameters (Behnood and Mannering, 2017;Fountas and Anastasopoulos, 2017); the observations can be differentiated by the use of a latent class model (Bago d'Uva, 2005;Greene et al, 2008;Stone et al, 2019); the outcomes can be differentiated by the use of zero-inflated ordered probit models that accounts for some unobserved differentiation in one of the outcomes such as no-consumption vs. consumption or accidents with no injuries vs. accidents with injuries (Fountas et al, 2020;Jiang et al, 2017).…”

Determinants of fishery and aquaculture products consumption at home in the EU28

The European Union (EU) is the world's largest market for fishery and aquaculture products (FAPs) in nominal terms. Given the importance of these products, EU authorities and policy-makers are continuously monitoring consumer preferences and attitudes, analysing whether or not the implementation of EU policies and regulations improves the market conditions. For example, the Eurobarometer (European Union, 2018a) surveyed 27,732 EU residents including a specific module to analyse the fishery and aquaculture EU market. In this study, the dataset is used to estimate Ordered Probit models using effects coding and their marginal effects to identify the main determinants of the frequency of FAPs at-home consumption. Results indicate that the highest probability to consume more frequently FAPs is related to considering that one of the main reasons for buying or eating fishery and aquaculture products is because they are healthy, while the highest probability to consume less frequently FAPs is related to consumers who do not understand at all the information accompanying the products. Similarly, other important reasons for consuming FAPs more frequently are their good taste and low relative price. Also, results indicate a higher frequency of consumption of FAPs for those consumers who are over 55 years of age, are wealthy, have a wild product preference, live in a household of 3 persons or more and are very satisfied with their lives. To our best knowledge, there is not a similar approach in the current literature that considers such an extensive sample which is representative of all the countries that conform the EU28. Results provide valuable information especially for producers and authorities in terms of marketing and policy analysis.

Road transport is the dominant mode of transport in Pakistan carrying 91% of the country’s passenger traffic and 96% of freight traffic. National highways, being 3.7% of the entire road network, carry 80% of commercial traffic. Due to the high number of road traffic crashes and resulting fatalities, a random parameters logit model was estimated to determine the risk factors that influence the severity of injuries caused by motor vehicle crashes on national highways. The effects of driver characteristics, crash characteristics, highway characteristics, temporal characteristics, and environmental characteristics were considered for the analysis. From the results, it was revealed that many factors such as overspeeding, driver dozing, driver carelessness, driver age <25 years, truck, rickshaw, single vehicle, horizontal curve, potholes, night without road lights, AM peak, Tuesday, weekdays, May, July, November, cloudy weather, clear weather, normal visibility, and wet road surface affect injury severity of the crash victims. The results are expected to be useful for transport planners, traffic managers, road engineers, and other stakeholders both from public and private sectors in prioritizing road sections for improvements and implementing suitable road safety interventions. This will ultimately result in the decreased social and economic burden of road traffic injuries (RTIs).

“…In addition to the various technological policy and regulatory requirements summarized thus far, we must forecast the critical human element associated with our relationship with flying cars (i.e., the Human-Machine interface). For the technology to sustain, humans will be required to overcome psychological, attitudinal, perceptual or behavioral barriers (Fountas et al, 2019(Fountas et al, , 2020Pantangi et al, 2019) that are associated with the concept of flying a car, or longer-term, being transported within a pilotless and fully autonomous flying vehicle. Furthermore, for flying cars to be widely accepted and adopted, they will have to be as flexible and convenient for daily transport as a modern-day automobile and quickly establish well-documented safety records (Lineberger et al, 2018).…”

In recent years, our surface transportation infrastructure is suffering from overuse, extreme traffic congestion, and roadway disrepair. Instead of following the traditional infrastructure expansion policy, current transportation research focuses on developing innovative and novel solutions to the aforementioned issues. Current pathways to overcoming these issues include the gradual transition toward a number of emerging transportation technologies, such as, autonomous motor vehicles for human transport, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's) and "drone" technologies for surveillance, and package deliveries. However, as a long-term solution, transportation scientists are also investigating the once-seemingly futuristic notion of flying car technology-a convergent form of ground/air vehicle transportation, and assessing associated regulations. In this paper, an extensive review of current literature is conducted to explore the technological capabilities of flying cars-each requiring appropriate regulations and governance-to become fully sustainable. Specifically, issues pertinent to training, safety, environment, navigation, infrastructure, logistics/sustainability, and cybersecurity and human factors are explored. This paper concludes with a preliminary quantitative analysis exploring the public perceptions associated with flying cars-including anticipated benefits, concerns, and willingness to both hire and acquire the technology once available to consumers. Insights offered by this data will help inform next-generation policies and standards associated with the gradual advancement of flying cars.
