Hi all,
We're planning to conduct an academic research in transportation& mobility sector - to understand the changes in travel behavior in post-Covid era. It would be great if any transportation& logistics experts can guide us on below questions.
1. This research will focus mainly on land transportation modes. But in most of the research studies I found that Railways is considered as a separate form from other modes. Any specific reasons for this? Is it appropriate to consider all land transportation modes together for our study?
2. Is it too early to assume that we have finally stepped into post-Covid era and to analyze commuter travel behavioral changes? Or better we conduct this after few months?
3. Also is it okay to connect our Research results to impacts in Supply-Chain Management? Because currently SCM is a heavily affected area in every other industry. So is it worth to include SCM and give some recommendations?
Thank you in advance.
1. Including road and railway transport or even other modes would depend on the aim and objectives of your research. Integrated plans are better, as far as achieving sustainability in transportation in concerned.
2. Whether it is the right time to carry out the research you are talking about depends on the study area you are considering. If the restrictions on various sectors, for example, education sector are still in place, then your research results will be far from real-case scenario.
3. SCM itself is a broad and diverse subject in itself. Undoubtedly, SCM has a vital role to play during emergencies like COVID-19 pandemic. One of our paper in this line has been accepted and will be published online in January 2021. Here is an advanced DOI https://doi.org/10.1007/s10668-020-01115-z
Thank you!
All the best
