Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) are an important part of vehicle’s consumption and represent a limiting factor to electric vehicles range. In recent years, the number of electric buses in the public transport fleet is rapidly increasing, also due to the improvement of their range and efficiency, and to the availability of infrastructures for recharging. In this work we focus on the analysis of the HVAC energy consumption for the Rome bus fleet and its possible evolution during this century in the framework of different IPCC sixth assessment scenarios for climate change: SSP1-1.9, SSP1.2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5. Results of this interdisciplinary approach, joining climatological simulations and HVAC consumption modeling, show no significant change in the consumption totals and distributions for the two virtuous scenarios, SSP1-1.9, and SSP1-2.6. A large increase of Air Conditioning consumption associated to a strong reduction of Heating consumption is foreseen for the worst scenarios, SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.0, with prevalence of the Air Conditioning contribution. For the intermediate scenario, SSP3-4.5, the increase of Air Conditioning consumption is in large part compensated by the decrease of Heating consumption. Though, energy demand is concentrated in the summer period, when peaks are observed, with a not negligible impact on the required number of buses. On average approximately 110 additional buses in the intermediate scenario and 330 additional buses in the worst-case scenario are needed to guarantee the present operational service.

暖通空调（HVAC）是车辆能耗的重要组成部分，也是电动汽车续航里程的限制因素。近年来，公共交通车队中电动公交车的数量正在迅速增加，这也是由于它们的续航里程和效率的提高，以及充电基础设施的可用性。在这项工作中，我们重点分析了在IPCC第六次气候变化评估情景（SSP1-1.9、SSP1.2.6、SSP2-4.5、SSP3-7.0和SSP5-8.5）的框架下，罗马公交车队的暖通空调能耗及其本世纪可能的演变。结合气候学模拟和暖通空调消耗模型，这种跨学科方法的结果显示，在SSP1-1.9和SSP1-2.6两个良性情景下，消耗总量和分布没有显著变化。在SSP3-7.0和SSP5-8.0的最坏情况下，随着空调贡献的普及，预计空调消耗将大幅增加，而供暖消耗将大幅减少。对于中间情景SSP3-4.5，空调消耗的增加在很大程度上被采暖消耗的减少所补偿。然而，能源需求集中在夏季，当观察到高峰时，对所需公共汽车数量的影响不容忽视。为了保证目前的运营服务，在中间情况下平均需要增加110辆公交车，在最坏情况下平均需要增加330辆公交车。

African cities like Addis Ababa face a major transport infrastructure deficit that hinders socioeconomic development. While China has responded with extensive investment, the outcomes of these projects remain contested. This paper examines the Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit (AALRT)—the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa—to evaluate the long-term impacts of infrastructure financing and planning on urban mobility. Using network analysis and open data, we introduce a replicable evaluation protocol that quantifies changes in connectivity before and after the new light rail transit and employ statistical models to assess its impact on network-wide traffic congestion. Our findings reveal that political ambitions and budget constraints led to the decision to construct a long, segregated track and eliminate multiple level crossings, resulting in extensive road closures, narrowing of arterial roads, and reduction of intersections in the city’s development corridors. The increased network detour and heavier traffic highlight that the new rail transit might have decreased the overall travel efficiency. This study underscores how funding arrangements, particularly China’s loans, have shaped the physical form and connectivity of Addis Ababa’s light rail, offering important lessons for other African cities. We recommend measures such as improving elevated crossings, integrating bus networks, and prioritising long-term maintenance to address current challenges. The road divides created by China-financed infrastructure expose a crucial tension between ambitious development goals and sustainable urban mobility in developing countries.

像亚的斯亚贝巴这样的非洲城市面临着严重的交通基础设施不足，阻碍了社会经济发展。尽管中国以大量投资作为回应，但这些项目的成果仍存在争议。本文考察了亚的斯亚贝巴轻轨交通（AALRT）——撒哈拉以南非洲的首个轻轨交通项目——以评估基础设施融资和规划对城市交通的长期影响。利用网络分析和开放数据，我们引入了一个可复制的评估协议，量化新轻轨交通前后连通性的变化，并采用统计模型评估其对全网交通拥堵的影响。我们的研究结果表明，政治野心和预算限制导致了建造一条长而隔离的轨道和消除多个平交道口的决定，导致大量道路封闭，主干道变窄，城市发展走廊中的十字路口减少。增加的绕行网络和更大的交通流量突出表明，新的轨道交通可能降低了整体的出行效率。这项研究强调了资金安排，特别是中国的贷款，如何塑造了亚的斯亚贝巴轻轨的实际形态和连通性，为其他非洲城市提供了重要的经验教训。我们建议采取改善高架交叉口、整合公交网络、优先考虑长期维护等措施来应对当前的挑战。中国资助的基础设施造成的道路鸿沟暴露了发展中国家雄心勃勃的发展目标与可持续城市交通之间的关键紧张关系。

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are central to aviation decarbonization, yet their higher production costs and limited supply raise important questions about consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP). Existing research typically surveys the general public, offering limited insight into informed stakeholders whose perceptions may shape industry acceptance. This study examines how knowledge influences WTP for SAF among 430 aviation professionals and academics in Portugal, using a parallel–serial mediation model to test the roles of perceived benefits, risks, social trust, and attitude. Results show that knowledge affects WTP only indirectly, through perceived benefits, trust, and attitudes, while perceived risks have no meaningful effect. Despite high awareness and trust, WTP remains low, mirroring international findings and highlighting the persistence of an attitude–behavior gap even in expert communities. These results underscore the need for policy instruments and industry strategies that address cost barriers, strengthen trust, and communicate demonstrable environmental benefits. The study provides evidence from an informed consumer segment and offers insights for aviation operators, energy producers, and policymakers.

可持续航空燃料（SAF）是航空脱碳的核心，但其较高的生产成本和有限的供应引发了消费者支付意愿（WTP）的重要问题。现有的研究通常是调查普通公众，对知情的利益相关者提供有限的见解，他们的看法可能会影响行业的接受程度。本研究以葡萄牙430名航空专业人员和学者为研究对象，采用平行-序列中介模型来检验感知利益、风险、社会信任和态度的作用。结果表明，知识仅通过感知利益、信任和态度间接影响员工工作意愿，而感知风险对员工工作意愿没有显著影响。尽管有很高的认知度和信任度，但WTP仍然很低，这反映了国际上的研究结果，并突出了即使在专家群体中也存在态度-行为差距。这些结果强调需要政策工具和行业战略来解决成本障碍，加强信任，并传达明显的环境效益。该研究提供了来自知情消费者群体的证据，并为航空运营商、能源生产商和政策制定者提供了见解。

While the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International’s classification system (J3016) has provided a framework for categorising sustained driving automation systems, concerns have arisen about its clarity and ability to incorporate emerging technologies . Therefore, this study explores how various stakeholders, including end users, vehicle manufacturers, and policymakers, use the driving automation taxonomy. The results show that driving automation taxonomy is communicated through media, incorporated into vehicle purchasing decisions for users, and utilised for external and internal communication by vehicle manufacturers and policymakers. The discussion highlights that utilising specialised terminology in automation enhances communication efficiency. However, there is also a discrepancy between the SAE J3016, which is today’s prevalent taxonomy, and their audience in terms of both (1) clarity provided by the taxonomy vs. understanding of the stakeholders and (2) topics addressed by the taxonomy vs. needs of the stakeholders. The study also highlights that, while SAE J3016 is being criticised, proposing a clearly better taxonomy is far from straightforward. However, we underscore the importance of revising and updating the current taxonomy to align with stakeholder needs and technological advancements. By enhancing the clarity and relevance of the driving automation taxonomy, stakeholders can make more informed decisions, fostering innovation and improving communication across the industry.

虽然国际汽车工程师协会（SAE）的分类系统（J3016）为持续驾驶自动化系统的分类提供了一个框架，但人们对其清晰度和整合新兴技术的能力感到担忧。因此，本研究探讨了包括最终用户、汽车制造商和政策制定者在内的各种利益相关者如何使用驾驶自动化分类法。结果表明，自动驾驶分类法通过媒体传播，被纳入用户的车辆购买决策，并被汽车制造商和政策制定者用于外部和内部沟通。讨论强调了在自动化中使用专业术语可以提高通信效率。然而，SAE J3016（当今流行的分类法）与受众之间也存在差异，主要体现在(1)分类法提供的清晰度与对涉众的理解，以及(2)分类法所处理的主题与涉众的需求。该研究还强调，尽管SAE J3016受到了批评，但提出一个明显更好的分类绝非易事。然而，我们强调修订和更新现行分类法的重要性，以配合利益相关者的需求和技术进步。通过提高驾驶自动化分类的清晰度和相关性，利益相关者可以做出更明智的决策，促进创新并改善整个行业的沟通。

The surge in bicycle traffic worldwide has led to increased focus on bicycle safety. Beyond the limitations of prolonged analysis periods and small sample sizes, traditional road safety methods that rely on reported crash numbers suffer from underreporting. Consequently, surrogate safety measures (SSMs) that pinpoint locations with an elevated likelihood of bicycle crashes, including bicycle-bicycle and bicycle-pedestrian crashes, are being investigated. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of an SSM derived from bikesharing GPS data for proactive, large-scale bicycle traffic safety analysis. The research examined over 900 crossings identified using OpenStreetMap and CARTO databases, utilizing one month of GPS data from a bikesharing system alongside police-reported crashes from 2016 to 2019. Among the 22 potential SSMs, the number of decelerations exceeding 0.6 m/s² displayed the most significant correlation with actual crash counts, evaluated using the Akaike information criterion of generalized linear models. This metric underpinned the bicycle crash prediction model, which was corroborated through cumulative residual plots for a control group, revealing strong predictive accuracy. Additionally, factors such as bicycle traffic volume and average bicycle speed (estimated using bikesharing GPS data), crossing area and road class (identified using OpenStreetMap and CARTO databases) were found to have a statistically significant effect on the number of bicycle crashes. The findings offer valuable insights for sustainable urban transportation planning and injury prevention strategies.

世界范围内自行车交通的激增使得人们更加关注自行车的安全。除了分析周期长和样本量小的限制外，传统的道路安全方法依赖于报告的事故数量，存在漏报的问题。因此，正在研究替代安全措施（SSMs），以确定自行车碰撞可能性较高的位置，包括自行车与自行车和自行车与行人碰撞。本研究旨在评估基于共享单车GPS数据的SSM在前瞻性、大规模自行车交通安全分析中的有效性。该研究使用了OpenStreetMap和CARTO数据库确定的900多个十字路口，利用了自行车共享系统一个月的GPS数据，以及2016年至2019年警方报告的撞车事故。在22个潜在的ssm中，超过0.6 m/s2的减速次数与实际碰撞次数的相关性最显著，使用广义线性模型的Akaike信息准则进行评估。这一指标支撑了自行车碰撞预测模型，该模型通过对照组的累积残差图得到证实，显示出很强的预测准确性。此外，自行车交通量和平均自行车速度（使用自行车共享GPS数据估计）、十字路口面积和道路类别（使用OpenStreetMap和CARTO数据库确定）等因素被发现对自行车碰撞数量有统计学上显著的影响。研究结果为可持续城市交通规划和伤害预防策略提供了有价值的见解。

Understanding what different groups of pedestrians consider essential for good sidewalk quality is key to creating walkable, inclusive, and continuous pedestrian movement (CpM). This study investigates whether perceptions of service quality differ according to age, gender, trip purpose, and physical ability, with a focus on Ernakulam (Kochi City), Kerala, India, as a representative urban setting. A structured survey of 405 pedestrians, including 55 participants with disabilities, was conducted along five major streets. The perceived quality of service (QoS) was summarised using a length-weighted average and then, Kendall’s W and Friedman’s ANOVA was applied to compare responses across demographic categories and differently-abled participants. QoS ratings were aggregated using a length-weighted mean and analysed with Kendall’s W and Friedman’s ANOVA to test whether they were similar across demographic groups and differed for differently-abled pedestrians. The findings conclude that age, gender, and trip purpose do not exhibit significant variation in the satisfaction ratings of the sidewalk compared to people with disabilities, who tend to have lower satisfaction levels. The study highlights the need to evaluate the sidewalk for pedestrians with disabilities, along with their demographic characteristics. QoS-CpM evaluation method reveals that it is practical and replicable framework for evaluating sidewalk quality, thereby supporting urban design and policy measures that foster walkability and equitable pedestrian mobility.

了解不同行人群体对良好人行道质量的基本要求是创造可步行、包容和连续的行人运动（CpM）的关键。本研究调查了不同年龄、性别、旅行目的和身体素质对服务质量的感知是否存在差异，并以印度喀拉拉邦的埃纳库拉姆（高知市）为代表性城市环境进行了研究。研究人员沿着五条主要街道对405名行人进行了结构化调查，其中包括55名残疾人。感知服务质量（QoS）使用长度加权平均值进行总结，然后应用Kendall的W和Friedman的方差分析来比较不同人口统计类别和不同能力参与者的反应。使用长度加权平均值汇总QoS评级，并使用Kendall 's W和Friedman 's ANOVA进行分析，以测试它们在人口群体中是否相似，而在不同功能的行人中是否不同。研究结果表明，与残疾人相比，年龄、性别和出行目的对人行道的满意度没有显著差异，而残疾人的满意度往往较低。这项研究强调了评估残疾人人行道的必要性，以及他们的人口特征。QoS-CpM评价方法表明，这是一种实用且可复制的人行道质量评价框架，从而为促进步行性和公平的行人流动性的城市设计和政策措施提供支持。

Teleoperated driving complements automated driving and acts as transitional technology towards full automation. An economic advantage of teleoperated driving in logistics operations lies in managing fleets with fewer teleoperators compared to vehicles with in-vehicle drivers. This alleviates growing truck driver shortage problems in the logistics industry and save costs. However, a trade-off exists between the teleoperator-to-vehicle (TO/V) ratio and the service level of teleoperation. This study designs a simulation framework to explore this trade-off generating multiple performance indicators as proxies for teleoperation service level. By applying the framework, we identify factors influencing the trade-off and optimal TO/V ratios under different scenarios. Our case study on road freight tours in the Netherlands reveals that for any operational settings, a TO/V ratio below one can manage all freight truck tours without delay, while one represents the current situation. The minimum TO/V ratio for zero-delay operations is never above 0.6, implying a minimum of 40% teleoperation labor cost saving. For operations where a small delay is allowed, TO/V ratios as low as 0.4 are shown to be feasible, which indicates potential savings of up to 60%. This confirms great promise for a positive business case for the teleoperated driving as a service.

遥控驾驶是对自动驾驶的补充，是向全自动驾驶的过渡技术。远程操作驾驶在物流运营中的一个经济优势在于，与配备车内驾驶员的车辆相比，远程操作人员较少的车队可以得到更好的管理。这缓解了物流行业日益严重的卡车司机短缺问题，并节省了成本。然而，遥操作人与车辆（TO/V）比率与遥操作服务水平之间存在权衡。本研究设计了一个模拟框架来探讨这种权衡，生成多个性能指标作为遥操作服务水平的代理。通过应用该框架，我们确定了在不同场景下影响权衡和最佳TO/V比率的因素。我们对荷兰公路货运之旅的案例研究表明，对于任何操作设置，低于1的TO/V比率可以毫不延迟地管理所有货运卡车之旅，而1代表当前情况。零延迟操作的最小TO/V比从未超过0.6，这意味着至少可以节省40%的远程操作人工成本。对于允许小延迟的操作，低至0.4的TO/V比率是可行的，这表明潜在的节省高达60%。这证实了远程驾驶作为一种服务的积极商业案例的巨大前景。

An economic advantage of teleoperated driving in logistics operations lies in managing fleets with fewer teleoperators compared to vehicles with in-vehicle drivers.

“Whoosh,” Indonesia’s high-speed railway application, began operations in 2023, and it could be accessed through its dedicated Whoosh mobile app. Although the app has been downloaded more than 500,000 times, actual utilization remains low, suggesting that passengers are facing difficulties accessing online tickets. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing users’ intentions to utilize the Whoosh mobile app. We modified the technology acceptance model and information system success model to serve as the theoretical framework for the research. A mixed-methods approach was used, involving a questionnaire administered to 507 respondents and interviews conducted with 30 respondents. Questionnaire data were processed using covariance-based structural equation modelling, while qualitative data underwent content analysis. The results indicated that system, information, and service quality influenced the Whoosh mobile app’s perceived ease of use, while only information and service quality influenced its perceived usefulness. Furthermore, the study found that the factors influencing a user’s intention to use the Whoosh mobile app are perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, aesthetics, price value, and brand trust. These findings offer valuable insights for railway mobile developers to enhance their app’s system, information, and service quality.

印尼高铁应用程序“Whoosh”于2023年开始运营，可以通过其专用的移动应用程序“Whoosh”访问。尽管该应用程序已被下载超过50万次，但实际利用率仍然很低，这表明乘客在获取在线车票方面面临困难。本研究旨在找出影响用户使用Whoosh移动应用程序意愿的因素。我们修改了技术接受模型和信息系统成功模型作为研究的理论框架。采用混合方法，对507名受访者进行问卷调查，对30名受访者进行访谈。问卷数据采用协方差结构方程模型处理，定性数据采用内容分析。结果表明，系统、信息和服务质量影响Whoosh移动应用程序的感知易用性，而只有信息和服务质量影响其感知有用性。此外，研究发现，影响用户使用Whoosh移动应用程序意图的因素是感知易用性，感知有用性，美学，价格价值和品牌信任。这些发现为铁路移动开发者提供了有价值的见解，以提高他们的应用程序的系统、信息和服务质量。

Debates continue over whether high-speed rail (HSR) generates new economic value or simply reallocates activity across space. This study evaluates the national economic impact of China’s HSR system through a Market Access (MA) framework grounded in quantitative spatial economics. We derive and empirically estimate a log–log elasticity between MA and GDP using county-level panel data from 2007 to 2020 and an instrumental-variable strategy based on least-cost spanning networks. Results show that a 10 % increase in MA leads to a 0.89 % increase in GDP. Counterfactual simulations indicate that without HSR, China’s 2020 GDP would have been 3.31 % lower (≈6.7 trillion RMB). Temporal counterfactuals further reveal a strong network formation effect: economic gains rise sharply once previously fragmented corridors became an integrated national network in 2017. An economic impact evaluation suggests that aggregate gains exceed construction and operating costs, indicating positive net national value. By integrating transport planning, spatial economics, and infrastructure policy, this study provides network-level evidence that HSR can generate positive-sum national growth rather than zero-sum redistribution.

关于高速铁路（HSR）是否会产生新的经济价值，或者只是在空间上重新分配活动的争论仍在继续。本研究通过基于数量空间经济学的市场准入（MA）框架来评估中国高铁系统对国民经济的影响。我们使用2007年至2020年的县级面板数据和基于最小成本跨越网络的工具变量策略推导并经验估计了MA和GDP之间的对数-对数弹性。结果表明，MA每增加10%，GDP就会增加0.89%。反事实模拟表明，如果没有高铁，中国2020年的GDP将下降3.31%（约6.7万亿人民币）。时间反事实进一步揭示了强大的网络形成效应：2017年，一旦以前分散的走廊成为一个综合的国家网络，经济收益就会急剧上升。经济影响评估表明，总收益超过了建设和运营成本，表明国家净价值为正。通过整合交通规划、空间经济学和基础设施政策，本研究提供了网络层面的证据，证明高铁可以产生正和的国家增长，而不是零和的再分配。

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated changes in urban mobility, prompting cities to test new uses of streets and public space. This paper examines how micromobility and urban experimentation intersect, drawing on semi-structured interviews with 14 experts in urban planning and mobility across seven countries. Findings show that experimentation, through both top-down pop-up projects and bottom-up tactical urbanism, offers a flexible pathway to integrate micromobility into planning. Yet, challenges remain around the durability of temporary measures, political risk, and limited administrative capacity. The study identifies key conditions for success: clear goals, public participation beyond consultation, and robust monitoring frameworks. By systematizing expert insights, the paper contributes a conceptual foundation for embedding experimentation into formal planning processes, helping policymakers and planners advance more adaptive and inclusive urban mobility systems.

2019冠状病毒病大流行加速了城市交通的变化，促使城市测试街道和公共空间的新用途。本文通过对7个国家的14位城市规划和交通专家的半结构化访谈，探讨了微交通和城市实验是如何交叉的。研究结果表明，通过自上而下的弹出式项目和自下而上的战术城市主义，实验提供了将微交通融入规划的灵活途径。然而，临时措施的持久性、政治风险和行政能力有限等方面的挑战依然存在。该研究确定了成功的关键条件：明确的目标、协商之外的公众参与和健全的监测框架。通过将专家见解系统化，本文为将实验纳入正式规划流程提供了概念基础，帮助决策者和规划者推进更具适应性和包容性的城市交通系统。
