  • Analyzing teen drivers’ exposure to crash risk

    Open AccessArmita Kar, Fangda Zhang et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2026References: 48

    Teen drivers’ exposure to crash risk depends on where and how much they drive. Of the few published studies examining driving patterns and crash exposure, none focused on teen drivers, the highest crash risk group of all ages. This study used activity space measures to analyze everyday driving activities, resultant crash exposure, and associated factors for teen drivers aged 16–17. Using driving-related GPS-trajectory data collected from 76 teens…

  • Where are GIScience faculty hired from? Analyzing faculty mobility and research themes through hiring networks

    Yanbing Chen, Jonathan K Nelson et al.ARTICLECartography and Geographic…2025References: 5

    Academia is profoundly influenced by faculty hiring networks, which serve as critical conduits for knowledge dissemination and the formation of collaborative research initiatives. While extensive research in various disciplines has revealed the institutional hierarchies inherent in these networks, their impacts within GIScience remain underexplored. To fill this gap, this study analyzes the placement patterns of 946 GIScience faculty worldwide by…

    Travelers’ day-to-day mobility depends on their perceptions, experiences, and personal characteristics. Many accessibility measures overlook perceptual factors and mainly consider space–time limitations of mobility, overestimating travelers’ potential mobility. We introduce a novel inclusive accessibility concept that advances time-geographic accessibility measures in light of travel behavior theories. We conceptualize inclusive accessibility as …

  • What Is Essential Travel? Socioeconomic Differences in Travel Demand in Columbus, Ohio, during the Covid-19 Lockdown

    Open AccessArmita Kar, Huyen T K Le et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2022Cited by: 4References: 60

    The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly reshaped urban mobility. During the lockdown, workers teleworked if possible and left home only for essential activities. Our study investigates the spatial patterns of essential travel and their socioeconomic differences during the COVID-19 lockdown phase in comparison with the same period in 2019. Using data from Columbus, Ohio, we categorized travelers into high, moderate, and low socioeconomic status (SES)…
