“…Besides the social benefits of addressing accessibility in transport planning, accessibility is accompanied by co-benefits, with much research showing that well-organized and planned transport systems addressing the accessibility of all users also tend to perform well concerning environmental and economic aspects [28][29][30][31]. Accessibility-related vulnerability (and by extension its sustainability) can be addressed via the provision of viable alternatives to personal cars for as many residents as possible.…”

An index of accessibility-based vulnerability is created based on a definition of transport-user vulnerability regarding transport accessibility created for the EMPOWER project, in order to assess the project's key performance indicator of the inclusion of vulnerable people in the project's scheme. The objective of the index is to account for various individual vulnerability aspects, but also for the 'multi-dimensionality' of vulnerability, i.e. individuals may be vulnerable because of one specific aspect (e.g., disability), or they may be vulnerable because of multiple aspects which, if assessed in isolation, wouldn't classify the individual as vulnerable. Users of the project scheme in the Dutch city of Enschede are surveyed on, inter alia, their vulnerability based on this definition, according to their income, mobility budget, physical mobility, age, gender, living situation, nation of birth, and education. According to individual questions, 1% to 54% (single parents and females, respectively) of respondents have some level of vulnerability. According to the index, 23-36% of respondents can be considered to be vulnerable. Suitably modified for local conditions, the index is relevant to cities, especially quickly developing cities where congestion reduction is or has been a priority, insofar as it offers a way of measuring and monitoring the vulnerability of the users of their transport system. Finally, steps to adapt the index to other settings (cities or countries) are discussed.

“…The development of a transit-based transportation system is intensively carried out as an alternative means of private transportation to overcoming population growth in various countries. According to Makarova et al (2017), the Asian region is generally known for its unhealthy transportation system, which causes various problems, such as congestion, air pollution, and sprawl-related issues (Makarova et al, 2017). Therefore, to overcome this, the World Health Organization (WHO) encourages countries to implement sustainable transportation systems that focus on safe, efficient, accessible, affordable, inclusive, green, and healthy transportational mobility.…”

The increase in mobility rate due to the current rise in population has become a challenge in urban development. This led to the development of pedestrian walkways, which are integrated with transit-based transportation, to minimize problems due to the high level of mobility of the urban population. According to some experts, environmental conditions are one of the main factors capable of affecting pedestrians' frequency. Therefore, this study explores the effect of the built environment, such as density, diversity, and design, on the pedestrian frequency of the Bus Trans Semarang passengers. Data were collected from 9 corridors, consisting of 447 bus stops, directly connected to the pedestrian walkways, as one of the feeders for transit-based transportation facilities. The analysis method used for each variable was the formulation technique, with data simulated using various applications, such as ArcGIS. The linear regression partial t-test model was also analyzed using SPSS, with the effect of pedestrian frequency on dependent variables determined, using the built environment elements (independent variable). The results showed a positive significance between the diversity variable and pedestrians' frequency along the Bus Trans Semarang corridors. Furthermore, the land that varies with the dominance of commercial and educational area has the highest attraction features that affects a person's frequency to walk.

“…A person is the most vulnerable part of the driver-car-road-environment system and at the same time the most unreliable: in 90-94% of cases, the human factor becomes the cause of road accidents [1][2][3]. That is why the search for smarter and more efficient mobility options is now on the agenda of academics and business [4].…”

Parameterization of the ABS electronic control unit for increasing the autonomous trucks’ active safety

The article is devoted to the issue of improving the autonomous vehicles safety. The anti-lock braking system was chosen as the object of the study, since it is one of the components of the vehicle active safety during emergency braking. Its functioning varies depending on parameters such as vehicle type, transmission type, external and internal steering wheel angles. It is necessary to parameterize correctly the electronic control unit of the anti-lock braking system depending on the specific values of these parameters. For this, a software module was developed that reads the values of the vehicle parameters from a file and sends their array to the electronic control unit. Then we can check the result: how the block responded to the sent request -positively or negatively. All this will speed up the parameterization process, increase its accuracy, preventing the occurrence of operator errors during its implementation.
