Development of connected vehicles has provided different opportunities for traffic management based on highresolution data. However, dominant methods are focused on vehicle-based strategies. The aim of this research is the development of a user-based signal timing (UST) strategy aiming at maximizing user throughput in a connected vehicle environment. The inputs of the proposed optimization algorithm are position, speed, and length of connected vehicles, as well as the number of passengers for each of vehicles, while the output is the optimum green time duration for each phase of signal timing. A microscopic simulation environment is used to collect data and validate the model employed within the algorithm. Then, the proposed optimization problem is solved by genetic algorithm method. The results obtained via UST optimization are compared with a vehicle-based optimization strategy, which is solved by the same algorithm. Results show significant increase in user throughput and share of vehicles with higher number of users on-board when UST is employed. The UST algorithm can be also implemented as transit signal priority strategy and supportive policy for ride-sharing.

In a society incontrovertibly shaped by information and communication technologies, individuals seem to find it increasingly difficult to acquire sufficient awareness of the consequences of their actions, and subsequently, develop a deep sense of ethical, social, and professional responsibility. Focusing on this fundamental aspect of the complex relationship between ethics and technological innovation, which James Moor defined as a “conceptual muddle”, this paper proposes a reasoned, although by no means exhaustive, review of 50 studies that explicitly cite Moor’s work and contribute, albeit with different objectives and methods, to a more in-depth examination of the relationship between ethical evaluations and emerging technologies. The papers considered in this review are distinguished by methodological approach and some particularly relevant and recurrent topics, namely policy vacuum, professional responsibility, ethical education, technological revolution, and privacy.

“…As Xiang et al (2011) exposed, the three pillars of sustainability are economy, environment, and equity, and the balance between the three components highly depends on the social factor in selecting infrastructures (Mladenovic et al 2014). Therefore, the economy is sustainable if being financially profitable is environmentally friendly and provides social cohesion.…”

The role of infrastructures in boosting the economic growth of the regions is widely recognized. In many cases, an infrastructure is selected by subjective reasons. Selection of the optimal infrastructure for sustainable economic development of a region should be based on objective and founded reasons, not only economical, but also environmental and social. In this paper is developed such selection through a hybrid method based on Delphi, analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and VIKOR (from Serbian, VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje). To do this, a panel of experts assesses both the infrastructures and the drivers for their selection. The method lets us to verify the consistency of answers from experts. In our case, AHP obtains preference values for each infrastructure using the eigenvector method. Meanwhile, the VIKOR method evaluates whether the proposed is the one that best fits the prevailing view, minimizing the regret to the most separate opinions. Thus, for La Costera (Spain), the region under study, this research work concludes that the thematic route is the optimal infrastructure.
