This document discusses changing urban planning paradigms to focus on mobility rather than just transit. Key points include:
1. Mobility planning should consider the entire experience of moving through a city, including micro-mobility options and public spaces between transit points.
2. Pilot projects and rapid prototyping can exemplify changes to encourage more sustainable behaviors and more effectively use resources.
3. Measuring people's behaviors and outcomes related to health, happiness and safety can help create incentives for sustainable transportation choices over just measuring infrastructure usage.

“The ethics of transport planning” - Prof Stephen Potter talks at the HCDI se...Marco Ajovalasit
This presentation will explore the ethical issues behind what appears to be a technical design process - that of transport planning decisions. It will draw upon the transport/land use designs explored in Britain’s new towns (and Milton Keynes in particular) which help to highlight the ethical decisions involved.
This will illustrate the way that the design of towns and cities affects our travel behaviour and constrains our ability to choose to travel in a socially and environmentally responsible way. Indeed, we can get locked into unsustainable travel behaviours and feel powerless to behave otherwise. This leads to the now prevalent negative attitude towards transport policy initiatives and often outright opposition to sustainable transport developments.
Urban design professionals argue that high density settlements are the main way that sustainable transport choices can be provided, as such designs produce conditions which make for good public, and also suppress car use. However, although such an approach is possible in major conurbations and city centres, this is a difficult and contentious approach for suburban Britain. For most places ‘big city’ design solutions are not politically viable.
Perhaps we should be looking to more innovative approaches. These could blend a variety of new measures, such as the ‘smarter travel’ initiatives as well as new emerging technologies. However these require a different way of doing transport planning to the traditional ‘big infrastructure’ transport policy approaches. New physical design approaches often require the redesign of the processes and structures to implement and manage them, and this may be the key barrier to success.
A manual for community and professional education on the concept, design and implementation of complete streets. Developed for Macomb County MI as part of the planning professional practice course at the University of Michigan.
This document discusses how streetscape development has influenced the urban identity of Bogor City, Indonesia. It finds that economic growth has led to new street developments that lack visual connectivity, weakening Bogor's urban identity. The streets with the strongest identity are those with historic colonial buildings and large trees, like Jalan Pajajaran. To maintain urban identity, the document concludes streetscapes must have distinct physical attributes, ongoing public activities, and good traffic connectivity to form strong visual and functional connections throughout the city.
The Major and Collector Street Plan (MCSP) is a comprehensive plan and implementation tool for guiding public and private investment in the major streets (Arterial-Boulevards, Arterial- Parkways and Collector-Avenues) that make up the backbone of the city’s transportation system.

Wang et al DRT Greater Manchester presentation TRB 2012Chao Wang
This document summarizes research analyzing factors that influence demand for demand responsive transport (DRT) services in Greater Manchester, England. The researchers used multilevel modeling to analyze DRT trip data from 16 service areas. The models found that population density, ethnicity, proportion of people working from home, and levels of socioeconomic deprivation significantly impacted DRT demand. Specifically, DRT has potential in low-density, deprived areas with many white residents and few people working from home. The researchers suggest further examining service-level factors and exploring DRT demand in rural areas.

It presents a methodology for assessing safe pedestrian access that includes data collection, analysis, scenario building, and consensus building. Case studies of metro stations in Bangalore, India are used to demonstrate the framework. Data was collected through surveys, mapping, and counts. Analysis found poor pedestrian levels of service currently. Proposals are made to improve walking conditions and shift more people to public transit by phases that include street design manuals and development control regulations. The goal is to create more accessible, people-oriented places around transit nodes through a holistic planning approach.
Futuristic intelligent transportation system architecture for sustainable roa...Tristan Wiggill
The document discusses a proposed futuristic intelligent transportation system (ITS) architecture for sustainable road transportation in developing countries. The architecture aims to integrate land use, road infrastructure, traffic, environmental, and human factors with information and communication technologies. It would provide real-time traffic and road information to users through dynamic road signs and social media/mobile apps. The system is intended to be cost-effective and help achieve sustainability goals by reducing congestion, accidents, and travel times. It is designed to serve all road users, whether or not they have advanced mobile devices or GPS in their vehicles.
The document discusses strategies for sustainable mobility and traffic calming through compact urban planning, investment in public transit and active modes of transportation, and car restraint policies. It emphasizes reducing traffic volumes and speeds, improving safety of crossings, redistributing road space, and implementing bike lanes or paths through a hierarchy of decisions. The most efficient and safe way to promote cycling is to reduce the number and speed of cars and promote cycling through a cycle path network, considering bicycles as vehicles and public space, with an integrated approach of hardware, software, and mindware, including education, planning, and leadership by example.

The article maps the accessibility and proximity potential of Barcelona based on pedestrian travel times using a 15-minute city lens. The researchers developed a standardized quantitative method to calculate 15-minute city values at a microscale level and explored if Barcelona and its neighborhoods meet the criteria. They analyzed 24 variables across 5 urban social functions - care, education, provisioning, entertainment, and public/non-motorized transport. The results found that Barcelona demonstrates high coverage of the functions, especially in central areas, with 76% of blocks having access to over 20 destinations within 15 minutes, showing high walkability. The study contributes to adapting the 15-minute city concept to specific city contexts.
The document discusses service level benchmarks for urban transport. It outlines the need to improve mobility, quality of life, and livability in cities. It discusses sustainable urban transport priorities like promoting non-motorized transport and public transit. The document then introduces service level benchmarks and indicators across 10 areas to measure the quality of urban transport systems, including public transit facilities, pedestrian infrastructure, travel speeds, road safety, and more. It provides an example case study of benchmarking public transit facilities in Ahmedabad, India.
This document summarizes Aidin Massahi's dissertation proposal on using multi-resolution modeling to assess active traffic management strategies on urban streets. The proposal discusses using dynamic traffic assignment simulation models at different levels of resolution (macroscopic, mesoscopic, microscopic) to evaluate strategies like adaptive ramp metering, variable speed limits, and dynamic lane control. The goals are to develop methods to assess impacts on performance measures like mobility, reliability, safety and emissions, and to demonstrate the methods on a real-world case study. The literature review covers previous uses of multi-resolution modeling and different traffic simulation packages to analyze active traffic management.
The MoST scenario provides a 3D mobility scenario for Monaco and surrounding areas to test cooperative intelligent transportation systems. It includes a detailed road network with elevation data and various vehicle, public transportation, and pedestrian routes. The scenario covers an area of 73 square kilometers and contains over 500,000 meters of roads categorized by type. Traffic is divided into zones based on administrative boundaries to model realistic traffic patterns. The scenario aims to enable testing of applications requiring precise positioning in a multimodal urban environment.
Cycle route signs help route users find their way, they advertise the presence of route and make people aware that routes are part of wider networks. Poor signage is a (the) major cause of frustration with cycle routes and has even been cited in coroners' reports* - when lost cyclists have ended up on trunk roads. Despite this, signage is often an afterthought.
This workshop will give participants a good understanding on what effective signage can look like, and how it can be achieved. As well as presentations, participants will cycle on parts of the National Cycle Network to see examples of signage in different (Urban and Rural) environments.

Dr. Marco te Brömmelstroet is an assistant professor who researches land use and mobility. His presentation discusses the relationship between land use and transportation, noting that mobility is important for connecting dispersed activities but is also unsustainable. There is a dilemma between encouraging mobility and sustainability. Land use and transportation systems influence each other reciprocally over time through feedback loops. Integrated land use and transportation planning is needed to balance accessibility with environmental and social impacts. Tools for integrated planning include defining mobility environments, using the node-place model around transit stations, and creating accessibility maps.

Medical image analysis has witnessed significant advancements with deep learning techniques. In the domain of brain tumor segmentation, the ability to
precisely delineate tumor boundaries from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans holds profound implications for diagnosis. This study presents an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning, integrating
the state-of-the-art Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone. The
model is rigorously trained and evaluated, exhibiting remarkable performance
metrics, including an impressive global accuracy of 99.286%, a high-class accuracy of 82.191%, a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 79.900%, a weighted
IoU of 98.620%, and a Boundary F1 (BF) score of 83.303%. Notably, a detailed comparative analysis with existing methods showcases the superiority of
our proposed model. These findings underscore the model’s competence in precise brain tumor localization, underscoring its potential to revolutionize medical

An improved modulation technique suitable for a three level flying capacitor ...IJECEIAES
This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
