“…Consideration of the impacts that ICT could have for the transport sector have gained an increased presence in the transport literature Grant-Muller and Usher [12]. Black W and van Geenhuizen [13] suggest that the main ways that ICT influences transport are through changing the way the system is used, such as new ways of providing navigation services or the ability for tele-working, and by information that can influence travel choices.…”

A reduction in emissions from transport is essential and requires a system wide approach, inclusive of technological and behavioural changes. Defining capacity in urban transport as the space through which transport demand can be met, the research explores where there is excess capacity in the system and how this could be used to reduce emissions. Capacity may be physical capacity in the roadspace or seats within vehicles, or temporal capacity, where there are fluctuations in the use of the system, such as peak and off-peak flows. This is complementary to the International Energy Agency (IEA)'s definition of urban transport energy efficiency as maximising travel activity whilst minimising energy consumption through a range of approaches and techniques. This paper proposes that interventions designed to enable behavioural change could reduce emissions by changing the way that the urban transport system is used. Drawing on the literature, this work demonstrates how effective use of excess capacity might be facilitated through measures such as smarter choices programmes and the application of intelligent transport systems (ITS). Case studies are provided as examples of ways that urban transport infrastructure can be adapted for more efficient use, including shared space projects and the 'complete streets' policy in New York City. The paper concludes by presenting the potential impacts of effective use of excess capacity for reducing urban transport emissions as demonstrated through the case studies.

“…Transport has become the basis for the daily operation of society and economy, yet the reliance on transportation as a daily function is a substantive contributor to numerous problems faced by modern society, such as air pollution, noise, congestion, safety, travel delays, and many more [1,2]. To curb these growing problems, sustainable transport has entered the research field of transportation experts and has gradually gained increasing attention [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

Abstract:With the challenge of transportation environment, a large amount of attention is paid to sustainable mobility worldwide, thus bringing the problem of the evaluation of sustainable transport solutions. In this paper, a modified method based on analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and Dempster-Shafer evidence theory (D-S theory) is proposed for evaluating the impact of transport measures on city sustainability. AHP is adapted to determine the weight of sustainability criteria while D-S theory is used for data fusion of the sustainability assessment. A Transport Sustainability Index (TSI) is presented as a primary measure to determine whether transport solutions have a positive impact on city sustainability. A case study of car-sharing is illustrated to show the efficiency of our proposed method. Our modified method has two desirable properties. One is that the BPA is generated with a new modification framework of evaluation levels, which can flexibly manage uncertain information. The other is that the modified method has excellent performance in sensitivity analysis.

“…In order to provide convenience for the user, ITS is able to communicate between vehicles or between a vehicle and the infrastructure without network disconnection. For this communication, the Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork (VANET) protocol is used to minimize network disconnection caused by vehicle movement and to provide services to drivers or other users [5][6][7][8]. In addition, in the VANET environment, cloud computing provides services through the VANET routing protocol.…”

VCC-SSF: Service-Oriented Security Framework for Vehicular Cloud Computing

et al. 2015

Abstract:Recently, as vehicle computing technology has advanced, the paradigm of the vehicle has changed from a simple means of transportation to a smart vehicle for safety and convenience. In addition, the previous functions of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) such as traffic accident prevention and providing traffic volume information have been combined with cloud computing. ITS services provide user-oriented broad services in the Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) environment through efficient traffic management, traffic accident prevention, and convenience services. However, existing vehicle services focus on providing services using sensing information inside the vehicle and the system to provide the service through an interface with the external infrastructure is insufficient. In addition, because wireless networks are used in VCC environments, there is a risk of important information leakage from sensors inside the vehicle, such as driver personal identification and payment information at the time of goods purchase. We propose the VCC Service-oriented Security Framework (VCC-SSF) to address the limitations and security threats of VCC-based services. The proposed framework considers security for convenient and efficient services of VCC and includes new user-oriented payment management and active accident management services. Furthermore, it provides authentication, encryption, access control, OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 2029 confidentiality, integrity, and privacy protection for user personal information and information inside the vehicle.
