“…Similar concepts of integrated models were also found in the literature, such as frameworks for assessing the sustainability of urban mobility by involving multiple models [39,[43][44][45]. Mathematical models and simulations were also used to understand the relationships between long-term policy targets and national economic and technological systems [96,98,104,117].…”

We address the value of engaging stakeholders in energy and mobility transitions by using models. As a communication medium, models can facilitate the collaborative exploration of a future between modeling researchers and stakeholders. Developing models to engage stakeholders requires an understanding of state-of-the-art models and the usability of models from the stakeholder perspective. We employ mixed methods in our research. We present the overview of models that have been proposed to make sense of the transitions in the scientific literature through a systematic literature mapping (n = 105). We interviewed 10 stakeholders based in The Netherlands to elaborate on use cases in which models can benefit stakeholders in practice and the characteristics of usable models. We conclude our research by elaborating on two challenges of model design that modeling research can consider to engage stakeholders. First, we argue that understanding the epistemic requirements of both modeling researchers and stakeholders that models can simultaneously meet is crucial (e.g., questions addressed using models and assumptions). Second, we seek technical solutions for producing models in a time-wise manner and developing interfaces that allow models distant in formalism and represented phenomena to communicate in tandem. Our research creates awareness of the model design aspect by considering its usability.

“…Socio-environmental is used in this context to cover socio-economic impacts that are mediated by the physical environment which includes the road, the built and the natural environments. Wolff and Caldas (2018) have advocated for the relation of the social and environmental concepts under what they termed as a ‘sustainability tripod’ that integrates social, environmental, and economic issues. Although socio-environmental impacts can be anticipated ex ante, their manifestation would only follow when the road construction is complete.…”

This article looks at the socio-environmental consequences of highway development on host communities in one of Nairobi’s peri-urban corridors. It is inspired by the fact that whereas governmental decision makers have supported highway development by arguing that such construction promotes economic growth and development, decreases traffic congestion, increases travel safety, assists in the more efficient use of existing roads, reduces poverty and improves the environment, this argument is usually pitched at the national or sub-national level thereby ignoring local community interests. Therefore, the study focused on the local socio-economic transformations that are taking place along the corridor as a result of the highway development. Such fundamental transformations occasioned by the road are often not captured in the pre-project impact evaluation documents. In this context, the study found that the construction of the road positively increased accessibility; however, improved accessibility led to land value increases and gentrification. Other effects of road development are land use change and loss of livelihoods, production of inequalities and densification. The study recommends incorporation of ex-post monitoring programs in project development to help mitigate the negative impacts on vulnerable members of the host communities who may suffer in the pursuit of the national development.

“…O transporte rodoviário é a forma predominante de transporte em muitos países. No Brasil, o setor de transporte rodoviário responde atualmente por 61% da movimentação das cargas (Wolff;Caldas, 2018). Na América Latina, este modal é dominante, tendo sua representatividade abaixo de 90% apenas no Brasil e México, onde o transporte ferroviário tem uma representatividade maior na matriz de transporte.…”

O setor de transporte rodoviário de cargas possui diferentes modelos de contratação de fretes, fator que impacta negativamente nas condições de trabalho oferecidas aos motoristas. A jornada de trabalho dos caminhoneiros brasileiros está, como regra, ligada à sua relação trabalhista com a transportadora contratante. O principal objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar e analisar os principais aspectos de saúde e segurança ocupacional que afetam os motoristas autônomos. A pesquisa consistiu em uma revisão da literatura nas bases de dados SciELO, Scopus e Web of Science, na qual se utilizou um processo estruturado, abrangendo um planejamento, execução e análise dos dados pesquisados. A fadiga e a sonolência durante a atividade são consideradas um grande problema de saúde para a categoria, não só porque afetam o bem-estar, mas também porque impactam no desempenho da condução do veículo e, consequentemente, na segurança. Os achados vão ao encontro das discussões trazidas sobre a crescente informalização do trabalho dos autônomos, que os submete à contratos temporários, sem garantias de direitos trabalhistas, com jornadas exaustivas. Este artigo faz uma reflexão sobre a fadiga e a sonolência como as principais causas dos acidentes de trânsito, tornando-se imprescindível o estabelecimento de condições mínimas a serem observadas por qualquer contratante do serviço.
