In 2026, she led a study examining the role of platform operational rules in fostering risky rider behaviour in on-demand food delivery, based on interviews with riders in Sydney. The research identified six key platform-related issues that generate time pressure and encourage risk-taking, including handling multiple orders, unpredictable restaurant timing, competition among riders, gamified incentives, star ratings, and pre-order systems.
The study was published in Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives. Song has been listed as a research assistant in the TransportLab group at the University of Sydney.
