Abstract
In recent decades, a major shift in the land use pattern has been observed in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. To understand and model the impact of these land use changes on transportation demand, this study aimed to determine the trip generation rates for six different land use categories adjacent to Mirpur Road in Dhaka. A total of 20 establishments consisting of six land use categories were selected for the collection of data on person trip rates and respective modal share by manual counts and intercept surveys. These data were used to develop vehicular trip generation rates for each land use category in passenger car equivalents as a uniform unit of comparison. Results showed that commercial and healthcare land uses had the highest average and peak-hour trip rates. There was also a significant variation in the share of eight transport mode categories among the trips generated by the land uses. The peak-hour trip generation rates of the study area were found to be different from the values established by the Institute of Transportation Engineers which corresponds to the fact that trip generation depends on a host of factors, such as surrounding land uses, modal share, the economic condition of a region, and so forth, rather than on a single factor inherent to the land use. The findings of this research can help to determine the trip generation impact of new establishments and consequently identify suitable locations to minimize the impact.

Transportation accessibility and multi-unit residential property rents - the case of rajshahi city, Bangladesh

Abstract
Little appears to be known about how the capitalization of transport accessibility in South Asian housing markets, which typically differ from those in industrialized countries. This study starts addressing this gap by providing empirical evidence about the nature and the magnitude of the value of accessibility as reflected by property rents in Rajshahi City, Bangladesh. Results of the SARAR spatial hedonic model estimated on 558 observations collected via in-person interviews conducted in June of 2006 indicate that the rent of a multi-unit dwelling decreases by 0.021% for every 1% increase in network access distance (NAD) to the nearest major road, by 0.030% for a 1% increase in NAD to the nearest health care facility, and by 0.014% for a 1% increase in NAD to the nearest small industry employment area. Conversely, rents of multi-unit dwellings within 300 m of a wholesale market are 12.3% lower than those of otherwise similar properties. Surprisingly, whether access roads are paved or not is not statistically significant, probably because of the dominance of walking, rickshaws use, and biking and the rarity of personal cars. Likewise, proximity to bus stops and to train stations is not statistically significant, possibly because they only provide regional and national service. These results should be useful for crafting measures to fund transportation infrastructure in Southeast Asian cities like Rajshahi.

Tenant Riskiness, Contract Length, and the Term Structure of Commercial Leases

Abstract
This paper explores the connection between tenant riskiness, commercial lease length, and the term structure of lease contracts. Theory shows that the possibility of default on a long-term lease generates a risk/lease-length connection. The empirical work uses a large CompStak lease data set combined with tenant characteristics (including risk) from Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). Regressions show that lease length is inversely related to the D&B risk measures, as predicted, and that risky tenants pay a higher rent premium for long-term contracts than low-risk tenants. The presence of such tenants thus raises the slope of the term structure of commercial rents. This paper was accepted by Tomasz Piskorski, finance.

How do they get by without cars in california?: Travel characteristics of voluntarily and involuntarily carless households
Proceedings of the 98th annual meeting of the transportation research board

Abstract
In spite of their increasing number in the U.S., our understanding of the travel behavior of households who do not own motor vehicles (labeled â??carlessâ?? herein) is sketchy. The goal of this paper is to start filling this gap for California. The authors perform parametric and non-parametric tests to analyze trip data from the 2012 California Household Travel Survey (CHTS) after classifying carless households as voluntarily carless, involuntarily carless, or unclassifiable based on a CHTS question that inquires why a carless household does not own any motor vehicle. The authors find substantial differences between voluntarily and involuntarily carless households. Compared to their voluntarily carless peers, involuntarily carless households travel less frequently, their trips are longer and they take more time, partly because their environment is not as well adapted to their needs. They also walk/bike less, depend more on transit, and when they travel by motor vehicle, occupancy is typically higher. Their median travel time is also longer, but remarkably, it is similar for voluntarily carless and motorized households. Overall, involuntarily carless households are less mobile, which may contribute to a more isolated lifestyle with a lower degree of well-being. Compared to motorized households, carless households rely a lot less on motor vehicles and much more on transit, walking, and biking. They also take less than half as many trips and their median trip distance is less than half as short. This study is a first step toward better understanding the transportation patterns of carless households.

Abstract
The emergence and adoption of fully-autonomous vehicles (AVs) and AV-enabled mobility services are expected to significantly impact transit demand in urban and suburban areas. This paper focuses on assessing the impact of a suburban first-mile shared-ride AV (SAV) transit feeder system on transit and SAV demand. To complete this task, the authors introduce an integrated mode choice and dynamic traveler assignment-simulation modeling framework that explicitly models the dynamics of, and congestion in, the transit network and SAV system. First, the authors present a mathematical formulation of the integrated mode choice and dynamic traveler assignment problem. The problem is analytically intractable; therefore, the authors present a simulation-based, iterative, bi-level solution approach. The iterative bi-level solution approach is required because the modal flows are dependent on the transit, road, and SAV system performances; yet, these system performances are dependent on the modal flows. In the iterative modeling framework, the upper level assigns travelers to one of five modes: car, park-and-ride, transit, SAV, or transit with SAV feeder. The lower level, both (1) iteratively determines minimum cost transit hyperpaths, assigns travelers to hyperpaths, and simulates their experiences, and (2) simulates an SAV fleet providing service to suburban travelers. Time-dependent network performance skims are then fed to the mode choice model. This process repeats until the mode choice probabilities converge. This integrated modeling framework, which endogenously determines traveler mode choice as well as transit and SAV system performance, provides transportation planners and modelers a powerful tool to test various scenarios related to AV-enabled mobility services.
