Driverless vehicles are set to disrupt the airline industry

Driverless cars will become more common and capable. This will affect people’s travel patterns not just within their local communities, but also across greater distances. Our research revealed how people’s travel habits could change, posing a challenge to the airline industry. Imagine that someone lives in Atlanta, but needs to travel to Washington, D.C., on business. It is a 10 […]

The law should reflect the fact that cars are the main cause of bike accidents

The number of cyclists in Australia is declining. Safety is the main reason for this. The Royal Automobile Association of South Australia released a report last week that found that cyclists were not responsible for the majority of crashes. It may be time for us to follow the lead of many European nations and introduce legislation that, in civil cases, presumes that the car driver […]

The Millennials make 8% fewer trips than the older generations

Understanding how millennials act has practical implications for city planning, industry development, and climate change.

Instead, I would like to argue that data, and in particular a new form of social responsibility, helped Nepal avoid an even worse catastrophe. This disaster may have lessons to teach other disasters. After the Nepal […]

Has business travel reached its end

In September, a study conducted by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association reported that more businesses are moving to wireless. The study claimed that 55% of US businesses encourage their employees to bring their mobile devices to work, and more than 2/3 are investing in mobile strategies for their workers. There are also low-cost and zero-cost solutions, such as hanging around on Google or […]

The travel industry ignores people with disabilities

Traveling is still a time of systematic discrimination for people with disabilities. Non-disabled individuals do not face the same barriers, and this can stop them from taking a holiday or limit their options. One survey revealed that even before COVID-19 was released, 52% of UK adults with disabilities had not been on holiday in the past 12 months. It is well-known […]
