Sustainability is one of the most commonly used terms concerning renewable energy, environmental protection and energy management. Without a doubt, understanding its full meaning, it is clear that sustainability is paramount for the quality of life of future generations and for the Earth as a living space. The presented work aims to give an overview of the importance of on-board management in hybrid vehicles as an important tool to increase their contribution to sustainable mobility. Real-world condition measurements were carried out based on the available cognitive features of an average vehicle. Several main consumers were also tested to present their role within cognitive and sustainable mobility. Results show that there is a function between the battery load level and the hybrid vehicle electric power use likeliness. Among the primary but under-addressed concerns today are the uninhibited exploitation of non-renewable energy sources and the avoidance of pollution.

Sustainable monitoring of traffic has always been a significant problem for engineers, queue length being one of the most important metrics required for the performance assessment of signalized intersections. The authors of the present study propose a novel approach to estimating cycle-by-cycle queue lengths at a given signalized intersection. Focusing on the examination of shock wave phenomena and the traffic model, this study first elucidates the definitions and assumptions it employs. Subsequently, it delves into the creation of the queuing model, alongside the utilization of a machine-learning (ML) based Kalman Filter (KF) algorithm for estimation. The information contained within the output files is visualized on distinct graphs, along with the velocities at various time intervals derived from virtual simulations involving a queue of 12 vehicles. This graphical representation serves as a conclusive validation, demonstrating a strong correlation between the simulation and the estimation achieved through the KF approach. The method presented yielded dependable and resilient estimates for the simulated queue lengths, even in the presence of noisy measurements.

This article explores and maps hierarchical, dynamic environmental-economic equilibria. Based on the moral economic premise of finite human needs, on output that increases with the population number in a supralinear manner, and on technology levels, moral economic equilibria are identified and quantified. These equilibria are compared to environmental capacities – as a function of technology levels. A needs-based, theoretical attempt is made to resolve the tensions and conversion issues in the economic-environmental nexus. A novel, visual, moral economic model of equilibria with the environment is established and justified. The model is expected to suggest indirect economic adjustments, in order to align with sustainability, which – indeed – is more of a notion to constantly be aligned with, than a handful of one-time economic targets to meet.

This paper highlights the effects of transport accidents on the environment, specifically those occurring in maritime transportation. International trading and shipping are important for several reasons. International trade and shipping facilitate the movement of goods and services between countries, contributing to economic growth and development. It allows countries to access resources, products, and markets they might not have domestically, thus expanding their economic potential. Not all countries possess the same resources or expertise. International trade enables countries to specialise in producing goods and services where they have a comparative advantage, leading to more efficient resource allocation and increased productivity. International trade provides consumers access to various goods and services at different prices. This enhances consumer choice and allows people to enjoy products that may not be available or affordable domestically. International trade fosters competition among businesses, driving them to innovate, improve quality, and reduce costs to stay competitive in the global marketplace. This benefits consumers through better products and lower prices. Export-oriented industries create jobs as they expand to meet global demand. These jobs often have higher wages due to the specialised skills required. International trade generates foreign exchange earnings for a country, which can be used to pay for imports, service foreign debt, and invest in other countries. A positive balance of payments is crucial for a stable economy. Trade exposes people to different cultures by exchanging goods, services, and ideas. This fosters greater understanding and co-operation among nations. Dependence on a single industry or market can be risky. International trade allows countries to diversify economies and reduce vulnerability to economic shocks. Shipping and transportation networks required for international trade often lead to improvements in infrastructure, including ports, roads, railways, and communication systems. These improvements benefit not only trade but also local communities. Trade can facilitate the transfer of technology, know-how, and best practices between countries. This helps less developed countries to catch up and develop more quickly. While shipping contributes to global carbon emissions, it also promotes energy-efficient practices through demand for cleaner and more sustainable transport options. In summary, international trading and shipping are essential drivers of economic growth, job creation, innovation, and cultural exchange, fostering co-operation and stability between nations while promoting efficient resource utilisation and diversification. The author performed a detailed statistical analysis based on the accident database. It explains the impacts on the environment and some remedies for it.

Decarbonising the automotive industry is important in improving air quality by reducing emissions. As one of the main promising alternatives to achieve this, hydrogen technologies are emerging. This paper will analyse the hydrogen automotive market, studying the economic and functional feasibility of implementing a plan to introduce hydrogen vehicles in society. The necessary supply is estimated, as well as the green production of the required hydrogen through the investigation of a plant to produce this gas using solar energy. This way, a vision of the future of hydrogen technologies applied to automation and its possible introduction to society will be obtained.

In Europe, vehicle emissions are regulated by the Euro Standard legislation. Governments of different countries force automotive industries to adapt their vehicles to comply with these standards. The legislation is regularly updated to reduce vehicle emissions and control the issue of gas emissions. This study aims to examine previous regulations and adapt three different mathematical models to their market curves. The information collected proposes three possible predictions for the future Euro Standard. This will aid the anticipation of future regulations and enable adaptation to the demands of the future market of passenger cars.
