Despite being a niche market, cargo bikes have significant potential to revolutionize urban mobility. Nevertheless, their adoption for personal use remains limited, with usage patterns concentrated among highly educated urban men aged 30–45 in …

Road and social safety are core public-health outcomes, yet European mortality patterns remain uneven despite sustained economic growth. This study jointly analyzes road fatality risk (fatalities per 10,000 passenger vehicles) and general …

The car traffic sector faces a major challenge in the coming decades as CO2 emissions must be drastically reduced. A significant part of this transition is likely to occur through the electrification of the car fleet, which implies that new car …

In an effort to counter the COVID-19 pandemic, France introduced safety measures that changed people’s capacity to move around. To what extent can these changes be opportunities for more sustainable mobility in the long term? While numerous …

EU Directive 2019/1936/EC on road infrastructure safety management introduced a network-wide road safety assessment approach (NWA) to improve the management of road safety across the member states. The methodology combines reactive (crash-based) …

Freight transport is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and other externalities, creating a growing need for robust Policy Impact Assessments (PIAs) to evaluate environmental measures in this sector. Yet existing PIAs are highly …

This research explores the perception of various stakeholders on the transformative potential of automated and autonomous shipping on European Inland Waterway Transport (IWT). Inland waterway is vital to Europe’s transportation system, known for …

European policymakers chose the systematic funding of smart city initiatives to incentivize and accelerate innovation and sustainability transitions. To ensure these initiatives’ broader effectiveness, smart city replication has been incorporated …

Roadwork zones are essential for maintaining and expanding the road network. However, during their active phases, they often lead to reduced traffic efficiency and increased safety risks for both road users and workers. To mitigate these effects …

The field of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) promises to improve road safety through advanced communication technologies and data sharing. This study addresses the need for a clearer understanding of the relationship between CAV Market …

Innovation driven by technological advancement and digitalization is transforming port operations. This study investigates the influence of the port innovation system, with a focus on optimizing ship and cargo services at the ports of Lisbon and …

Rapid and radical decarbonisation is necessary to achieve climate change mitigation goals [ 1 ]. Considering the case of the United Kingdom (UK), goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes represented 21 million tonnes or 5% of a total 426 million tonnes of CO …₂

High-strength joints are increasingly used in timber structures to take advantage of the shear properties of wood. Therefore, understanding the long-term shear performance is essential. In this study, the long-term shear behavior of timber was …

We studied the suitability of forest management residues as feedstock for bioenergy production. We focused on the variability of their chemical and physical properties that are most likely to influence the efficiency of thermochemical conversion …

The timber construction industry mainly uses softwood as structural products, owing to the slenderness of the trees and rather homogeneous nature of the timber, which makes it easier and more cost-effective to process compared to hardwood. By …

Eucalyptus pellita is cultivated for pulpwood in tropical and subtropical regions but remains underutilised for structural applications, particularly in dry tropical environments. Compared to well-studied species such as Eucalyptus grandis and …

Waterlogged wooden artifacts are often unstable when exposed to open air, and impregnation with polyethylene glycol (PEG) remains one of the most widely adopted conservation methods to ensure their long-term stability. Despite its widespread use …

This study investigates the moisture-induced recovery of temporary property changes in thermo-mechanically densified (TMD) birch and aspen wood, compared to thermally modified (TM) wood. Both treatments were prepared under identical thermal …

In this study, we analyse the occurrence of fast landslides developed in detrital limestone-dolomitic deposits and colluvium deposits on steep dolomitic slopes in Southern Italy. In the past few decades, the literature research on this type of …

Currently, image processing methods based on segmentation do not achieve sufficient accuracy to reliably capture the actual dimensions of drill core samples, limiting their ability to provide precise quantitative information on the extracted …
