The University of Leeds Driving Simulator (UoLDS) continues to be one of the most technically advanced driving simulators in use within a research environment in the world today, exploiting leading-edge motion base technology to create
a high fidelity and dynamic simulated driving environment.
The simulator is developed and managed by a multidisciplinary group of academics from the Safety and Technology group at The Institute for Transport Studies. Using funding from UK and European government grants and private organisations, the group studies the interaction of drivers with new technologies, typically before they are fully implemented on roads and in the vehicle.
The team has over 20 years’ experience developing cutting-edge, innovative
scenarios suited to the needs of its funders. Realistic and repeatable scenarios allow studies on driver behaviour to be conducted in a safe and controllable environment,
substantially reducing the costs associated with the development of real systems, infrastructures or prototypes.
Results from studies conducted on UoLDS have had substantial influence on National and International policy.
For example, research on the simulator
has shaped the understanding of how driver distraction affects road safety, providing guidelines for the implementation of speed advisory systems.

The document discusses sustainable mobility and urban transport. It focuses on organizing mobility in a way that does not negatively impact future generations' access to resources or welfare. Specifically, it addresses issues like road traffic congestion, pollution, injuries from accidents. It advocates designing transport infrastructure that allocates space equitably for all road users, with a focus on people rather than vehicles. This includes separate pedestrian and bicycle routes, roundabouts at intersections, and lower speed limits to improve safety.

This document discusses OpenStreetMap and how it is being used in Kathmandu, Nepal as emerging infrastructure for development. Over 126,000 buildings and over 131,000 points of interest have been mapped in the Kathmandu Valley on OpenStreetMap. The document calls for people to make use of OpenStreetMap data, contribute additional data, spread awareness of OpenStreetMap, and embed it in policies to strengthen infrastructure and disaster preparedness, such as preparing for a major earthquake that could impact the Kathmandu Valley. A variety of activities are promoted to engage people in OpenStreetMap mapping and improve the quality of open map data.
Evaluating an experiment. The Case of Fare-Free Public Transportation System ...Daniel Gabadón-Estevan
In this research, we focus on the case of an environmental innovation regarding transport policy, the implementation of the free fare policy on public transport (PT) for all inhabitants of Tallinn, Estonia. Tallinn, with 439,000 inhabitants in 2015, is the capital of Estonia and the largest city in the country. However, over the last two decades the share of PT trips decreased dramatically. After a public opinion poll in 2012, in which over 75% of the participants voted for a fare-free transportation system (FFPTS) in Tallinn, the new policy was implemented on 1st January 2013. From that date residents registered in Tallinn could use all PT services (buses, trams, trolley-buses) operated by city-run operators for free. Later the free fare system was implemented also on trains within Tallinn. For this we have undertaken a project to evaluate the implementation of the free fare policy on PT in Tallinn as a case of an experiment regard-ing innovation in transport policy with potential environmental consequences. We evaluate this experi-ment by comparing the previous with the actual situation regarding several indicators such as PT use, change in modal split, pollution, etc. This is done by interviewing relevant informers (stakeholders) to identify the main enablers of and obstacles to the use of the FFPTS in Tallinn as well as possible limita-tions of this experiment to contribute to sustainable development. In exploring the main enablers of and obstacles to the implementation of the FFPTS in Tallinn, we apply the multi-level model of social innova-tion (Geels et al 2001) that allows for systematic exploration of the role of institutional regime (market, policy and science interactions) and the impact of the so-called ‘landscape’ level of societal values, over-all paradigms and megatrends that both shape the success of innovation in socio-technical systems. The research allows us to deepen our understanding on innovation governance in relation to mitigation and adaptation, as well as identifying effective ways of stimulating and diffusing experiments on policy and governance innovations. Our results show that the interlink between local and national politics have a determinant effect not only on the initiatives taken and the support they achieve but also on the interpretation of the success of those initiatives and their stability. Also, the discourses build around those initiatives and “unexpected” consequences of the policy are reported.
Micromobility at TU Berlin: Analysis of demand across locations and drafting ...Sarah Westphal
The document summarizes a master's thesis analyzing demand for micromobility services across TU Berlin campus locations and drafting a service concept. Key findings from a survey of TU Berlin members and location analysis were used to develop a docked bike sharing concept. The concept proposed a fleet of 256 bikes across 20 stations at 3 main campus sites. Bikes would be rented via an app for a flat monthly fee. Challenges in implementing the concept included costs, stakeholder involvement, and uncertainty around future mobility trends.
A review of current online bicycle routing portals and their potential role i...Martin L
This document evaluates how online bicycle routing portals address safety when providing route recommendations. It reviews 30 pre-trip route planning websites and finds that while most allow users to select routing criteria like distance and time, very few explicitly include safety as a criteria. When safety is included, it is rarely defined or explained. The document concludes that since safety is an important factor in bicyclists' route choices but is largely ignored by current routing tools, more needs to be done to better reflect the complexity of safety considerations and individual preferences in route recommendations.

The document discusses three transportation revolutions: electrification, automation, and shared mobility. It notes that while cars revolutionized transportation 100 years ago, the current model is unsustainable. The revolutions will be disruptive but also create jobs and benefits if policies encourage pooling, choice, and integration of services. Electric vehicles and buses will dominate by 2030, led by China. Automated vehicles also will dominate and be more disruptive if shared through pooling, as individually owned AVs could increase vehicle travel drastically. The key is directing investments and behaviors toward pooling to reduce individual ownership and vehicle travel.

This document summarizes baseline data and assumptions for calculating the potential energy and emissions savings from shifting goods transport to cycle logistics in European cities. It finds that 15% of urban trips are for freight and services, with the majority being light goods transported by cars, vans, and small trucks. While freight transport accounts for 15-30% of urban transport emissions and energy use, over 99% of freight trips are currently motorized. The document establishes baselines and definitions to calculate the potential shift to cycle logistics for light urban freight transport.
This document summarizes an operations strategy case presentation on improving public transportation ecosystems. The presentation addresses issues with current public transportation such as inconvenient trips, complicated routes, and inaccessible transfer points. It advocates for a centralized authority to oversee transportation as a strategic task and to establish standards, regulations and enforcement. Key elements of the new ecosystem proposed include integrated transportation modes, unified access through technology, and re-engineering infrastructure for scalability. Performance would be measured based on key indicators like accessibility, availability, reliability, safety and comfort.
This document presents a proposed Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Master Plan for the City of College Station. It discusses the need for an ITS to address congestion issues. The plan would improve safety, mobility and efficiency through technology like traffic cameras and a traffic management center.

Study of road transport system for Amravati city using Artificial IntelligenceIRJET Journal
1. The document studies the road transport system in Amravati city, India using artificial intelligence. Specifically, it analyzes traffic density at the busy Rajkamal Square area under the current traffic signaling system and a proposed AI-based system.
2. Data on vehicle counts was collected over 12 simulations of 5 minutes each during morning, afternoon and evening time periods. The vehicle counts passing through the intersection in 1 hour were significantly higher under the proposed AI system compared to the current system, indicating it could process more traffic and reduce congestion.
3. The proposed system aims to use video feeds from CCTV cameras to detect vehicle numbers in real-time and automatically set optimal green signal times based on current traffic
The document summarizes the INTEGREEN project which used mobile sensors and vehicles to collect traffic and environmental data in real-time. This data was transmitted to a traffic management center and used to test more environmentally-focused traffic policies. The project also conducted awareness campaigns to educate the public and shared results with other European projects. The data collection and testing improved understanding of the relationship between traffic and air pollution to help traffic managers develop more sustainable strategies.

Nj future redevelopment forum 2019 lubinsky urban mobilityNew Jersey Future
This document discusses the future of urban mobility and transportation. It notes that transportation accounts for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, with 90% coming from personal vehicles. New transportation technologies and business models like connected vehicles, electric vehicles, ridesharing, microtransit and autonomous vehicles are emerging. These could help reduce emissions and traffic if integrated into public transit systems. The document outlines three potential scenarios for the future: 1) a coordinated public-private autonomous vehicle ecosystem that complements transit; 2) increased private autonomous vehicle ownership without transit integration; and 3) unregulated private autonomous vehicle ownership without transit integration. It stresses the need for collaboration between government, industry and users to shape a sustainable, equitable and publicly accessible mobility future.
In Finpro's seminar on May 4, Josef Czako spoke about ITS and MaaS opportunities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. He also gave understanding on what kind of players there are in the field of ITS in respective countries, and what steps one should follow when entering the market.
Driverless cars have the potential to transform transportation by improving safety, reducing emissions and congestion, and increasing mobility. The UK is positioned to become a leader in this technology by establishing test programs in several cities and reviewing regulations in 2017. Fully autonomous vehicles could be on roads by 2020-2025, leading to major changes like decreased car ownership and the rise of driverless ride-sharing services. While this transition provides economic opportunities, it also threatens some existing jobs like professional drivers and presents new cybersecurity risks from hackers targeting connected vehicles.

The NPLW aims to help implement around 3,000 neighborhood transition plans by 2030 to insulate or decarbonize 1.5 million homes, as called for in the country's Climate Accord of 2019. It provides knowledge sharing, stimulates regional collaboration, collects monitoring data, and communicates with municipalities and stakeholders to help different communities transition at various speeds.
Decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approachOECDregions
OECD presentation on decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approach.
About 90% of homes in the Netherlands depend on natural gas for heating. The Netherlands has made a commitment to phase out natural gas by 2050. To achieve the goal, the Netherlands has rolled out a natural gas-free pilot programme in 66 neighbourhoods. These neighbourhood pilot projects enabled municipalities to learn what it takes to start energy transition. Based on a city survey carried out across 26 local governments, key findings from this report call on national and local governments joining up their efforts to take place-based measures.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
