Transport systems are primarily designed to address mobility and safety concerns. Today, energy consumption must also be taken into account in infrastructure design and operation, as environmental issues and tensions in oil production continue to intensify. For road transport, infrastructure requires energy for its construction, maintenance, and use. During the use phase, previous studies have ass... more

Mobility networks worldwide face escalating challenges from climate-induced environmental shifts and major disruptions such as the global COVID-19 pandemic. This scoping review investigates the resilience of public transport systems through a structured 4R framework—robustness (strength), redundancy (alternatives), resourcefulness (ingenuity), and rapidity (speed). The analysis draws on four diver... more

As global visitation to PAs (Protected Areas) nears record highs, the Island Model of car-centric governance has become a primary culprit of ecological degradation and social marginalization. This review follows changes in transportation in PAs from early scenic drive glimpses in the aesthetics of nature, through the overwhelmed shock of COVID and over-tourism, to coauthoring a new management appr... more
