Mapping the adoption of artificial intelligence in urban mobility.

Travel contexts for different forms of multimodality in the new urban mobility landscape: a latent class analysis.

The elderly and urban mobility: cost sensitivity of elderly people in the “oldest” Italian city

The world is facing a series of changes that will modify the way we envisage transport planning in our cities. Demographic ageing as a consequence of higher life expectancy and lower fertility rates is a world-wide phenomenon. While ageing ...

Identification and evaluation of the effective criteria for detection of congestion in a smart city

Abstract The delay in transportation of necessary items is due to traffic congestion throughout the world. This is a serious phenomenon which results in waste of time and fuel. The detection of road conditions and dissemination of traffic i...

Introducing the Walkability Index, an Index That Measures the Walkability of Public Spaces

In recent years an increasing number of cities and transport planning documents (such as Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan) aim to reduce car traffic and promote active modes of transport – walking and cycling. The development of active modes...

Should I walk, cycle or drive? Active-to-passive travel directness and mode choice across 15 months of GPS-traced trips

Improving active travel infrastructure may not substantially increase cycling and walking if motorised transport continues to be largely perceived as the easier and more convenient option. Here, we develop a measure of comparative directnes...

Identifying urban features for vulnerable road user safety in Europe

Abstract One of the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is to substantially reduce the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic collisions. To this aim, European cities adopted various urban mobility policies, whic...

A Literature Review on Challenges and Solutions for Smart and Sustainable Urban Mobility

Urban mobility is undergoing a rapid transition driven by digitalization, electrification, and automation. However, current research remains largely fragmented across specific technological domains, obscuring the interactions required for c...

Guiding the Self-Organization of Cyber-Physical Systems

Self-organization offers a promising approach for designing adaptive systems. Given the inherent complexity of most cyber-physical systems, adaptivity is desired, as predictability is limited. Here I summarize different concepts and approac...

Predicting Urban Quality of Life Using Machine Learning on Street Images and Personal Information with Statistical Feature Selection: A Comparative Study of Bangkok and London

This study proposes a machine learning framework for predicting perceived urban quality of life (QoL) by integrating visual features from street-level imagery with personal attributes, including demographic, socioeconomic, and travel behavi...
