After reading the papers, refine your initial research question. DO NOT use AI at this point.
- Comparative analysis of network friction on Inter-city travel is equal or faster than
Intra-city travel in the Philippines.
Ask AI to comment on your research question. Using your own words, what insights did you
gain from AI’s feedback regarding your research question.
- Based on the AI’s feedback, I noticed that it’s true getting the data for this is quite
hard. Since commuting is generally harder to get data since there’s not a lot of data
available.
- AI also questioned this “Is Laguna faster because of the Network Topology (SLEX),
or simply because there are fewer stoplights?” that makes me think that there might
be a lot of variables to be faced or the answer is just simple. Maybe It’s just because
that part of the Philippines isn’t usually traffic.
If applicable, indicate your reformulated research question from AI’s feedback.
- How does the intermodal transfer penalty at urban transit nodes causally contribute
to the efficiency paradox where inter-city travel times equal or outperform intra-city
travel times?

I declare that I used LLMs to assist me in completing this learning activity
The specific LLMs I used are: <Google AI Search, ChatGPT, Gemini, …>
These LLMs assisted me in the following tasks:
- How can I find more information about my topic about: Why is it usually faster to go
home in Laguna instead of travelling in cities in manila?
- How can I improve this research question based on these research findings:
o - Coding is not actually that effective since it tried to reduce cars but people
are just using different cars, roads, and go to city in other time frame.
o The UVVRP doesn’t really work since people find ways to use their car for
transportation may it be using other car or taking other minor roads. Thus,
the effectiveness of coding wasn’t really diminished by 20% but only for
about 4.3%
o It was found that the spatial distribution of the transport terminals in the
study area is more closely related to the transit supply
o One of the reasons why travelling time is much longer is because of
intermodal transportation.
