AbstractThis paper is concerned with the assessment of future applications of CASE (Co-operative, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric) mobility—a term that is also taken to include the more traditionally known applications of ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems). It sets the objective of making such assessments more holistic and horizontal in nature because future CASE mobility applications will include many technologies and service concepts as an integrated whole serving specific mobility objective. Traditional evaluation methodologies will therefore have to be modified to account for this situation, and to this end, the paper focuses on assessing and adapting such “traditional” methodologies. It draws from the experience gained in Greece in the last decade when a substantial number of ITS applications were implemented and assessed, especially in the second largest urban area of the country, the city of Thessaloniki (part of the EU’s European Network of Living Labs). Four basic methodologies are selected: the use of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), focused interviews, the CMME (CASE Mobility Matrix Evaluation), and the use of safety audits before and after the CASE mobility application. For the first three, the paper suggests specific indicators and/or content. It also gives an example of the use of CMME based on a use case from Thessaloniki. The contents and recommendations of this paper provide a better understanding of the emerging situation as regards CASE mobility applications and point to the need for establishing a timely and comprehensive CASE mobility evaluation framework at both national and European levels, for future implementations.

Early Fault Detection

During the last decade, due to the increasing importance of reliability and availability, railway industry is making greater use of fault diagnosis approaches for early fault detection, as well as Condition-based maintenance frameworks. Due to the influence of traction drive in the railway system availability, several research works have been focused on Fault Diagnosis for Railway traction drives. Fault diagnosis approaches have been applied to electric machines, sensors and power electronics. Furthermore, Condition-based maintenance framework seems to reduce corrective and Time-based maintenance works in Railway Systems. However, there is not any publication that summarizes all the research works carried out in Fault diagnosis and Condition-based Maintenance frameworks for Railway Traction Drives. Thus, this review presents the development of Health Assessment and Fault Diagnosis in Railway Traction Drives during the last decade.

Mass Rapid Transit

Introduction of the mass rapid transit railway system through the Gautrain has not only addressed the transport issue in South Africa but has also motivated and promoted the country’s economic growth by creating employment. Despite the increase in research focusing on the importance of the Gautrain to the South African economy, the influence of perceived convenience, image and safety on commuter satisfaction and loyalty in the South African mass rapid transit railway system context is still limited. This paper used a data collected from 206 Gautrain commuters in the Gauteng province of South Africa to examine the interplay between perceived convenience, image, safety, commuter satisfaction and loyalty. Smart PLS software technique was used to statistically analyse the measurement and structural models. The results revealed that perceived convenience, image and safety positively influenced commuter satisfaction, which, in turn, influenced commuter loyalty. These results may be used by marketers in mass public railway systems to initiate strategies intended to increase both commuter satisfaction and loyalty

The Impact

China is a developing country with a great need for an expansion of its transport system. Its policy aim is, among others, stimulating the role of the car in its transport system. That creates problems similar to those found in nearly all other countries in the world: congestion and inefficiency of the road transport system, especially in and around cities. To deal with those problems and to speed up the process of solving them, the Chinese cities cooperate with experts from other countries. Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are seen as a key to solving urban congestion problems. A cooperation agreement has been signed between the Chinese government, certain Chinese cities, and the Netherlands Ministry of Transport that aims to exchange experts, execute shared research and development, and provide training. The shared research shows that many of the traffic problems in Chinese cities differ very little from problems found in European cities: many of the problems concern particularly the interfaces between high-capacity urban freeways and the urban road network. The technology transfer was executed partly by providing training to Chinese experts. The training program is based on two principles: training for impact and training the trainers. The impact concerns participants applying what was learned from training to their daily practice, and their improved ability to work on solving traffic problems. Course participants are stimulated to become trainers themselves. The first results of the Chinese–Netherlands ITS training center are very promising.

The Impact

The VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc Network) is a collection of mobile nodes forming a temporary network on variable topology, operating without base station and without centralized administration. Communication is possible between vehicles within each other's radio range as well as with fixed components on road side infrastructure. The characteristics of VANET network that distinguishes it from other ad hoc networks, such as high mobility and communication with the infrastructure to support security or comfort applications, have prompted researchers to develop models and mobility specific protocols. The main goal of this chapter is firstly to compare the performance of three Ad hoc routing protocols: OLSR, AODV and DSDV, and secondly to examine the impact of varying mobility, density and pause time on the functionality of these protocols. The results of this chapter demonstrate that AODV have better performance in terms of Throughput and Packets Delivery Rate (PDR), whereas OLSR have best performance in terms of Packet Delivery Time (Delay).

The article presents the results of research regarding the impact of technical and technological innovations on the quality of services in road transport of goods. The study was conducted using a structured questionnaire survey on a sample of134 road transport companies. Respondents were managers and business owners. 7 factors, which potentially determined the quality of services, were assessed by the respondents. The data analysis used the arithmetic mean and the dominant, which formed the basis for determining the importance of a given factor for the quality of services. The variability analysis provided information about the variation of the sample. The results of the research proved the influence of innovation on quality. The highest-ranked factors supporting the quality ofroad transport services were intelligent transport systems, the ability to minform the customer about the actual location of the shipment (delivery time) and systems supporting the work of a professional driver. The article also identified selected innovations and attempts were made to determine their importance in the development of the quality of services and the effects of their functioning on the road transport system.
