“…A scheme of the mechanical diagram of the MR damper is shown in Figure 3. The dampers can be used as comfort and noise protection elements, too [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]. Figure 3 presents the general view of the soundproof partition of the bus motor.…”

“…European Union Transport Politics aims to emphasize the importance of using public transport rather than private transport while focusing on the safety of the passengers and reducing pollution [41,42]. The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledges this fact in its annual report on global road safety, where they advocate for better public transport that is safe, accessible, and affordable because it is vital to increase safety in urban areas where traffic has become more crowded [43][44][45].…”

Development of Comfort and Safety Performance of Passenger Seats in Large City Buses

et al. 2021

A bus seat needs to be designed ergonomically for better seating comfort. The present study is intended to develop a cost-effective ergonomic bus seat design based on seat comfort and safety demands. As part of the proposed seat design procedure, seating comfort analysis, identifying preferred design features, and developing a seat design are included. An analysis of the bus seat back and seat pan profiles was conducted. Based on the results of the comfort analysis, the authors identified the preferred design features of bus seats during the design identification process. An improved bus seat prototype was developed based on selected design features in the design development stage. Seating comfort analyses were used to compare the achieved seat with the reference seat. The seat design developed in the present study may be applicable for various types of bus public transport.

“…Personal vehicle ownership itself may become obsolete as consumers may opt for access to Transportation as a Service (TaaS) platforms over the expense and overhead of owning a personal vehicle (Dillahunt, Kameswaran, Li, & Rosenblat, 2017). A shift in this regard may result in re-imagining urban environments, no longer inundated with personal vehicles, and environmental benefits from fewer net vehicles on the roadways (Mousavi, Osman, Lord, Dixon, & Dadashova, 2021). For these potential benefits to become a practical reality, however, consumer adoption is vital.…”

Fully autonomous or “self-driving” vehicles are an emerging mobility technology with a host of potential benefits over conventional motor vehicles. Proponents argue that widespread adoption of self-driving vehicles may save countless lives and millions of dollars annually by minimizing the likelihood of deadly vehicle crashes. However, for such benefits to be realized, widespread consumer adoption of self-driving technologies is a prerequisite. Prior research suggests that while consumers are broadly optimistic about the potential of vehicle automation, there are significant concerns that may undermine consumer adoption, such as the transparency of vehicle operation. There is insufficient research into consumers’ desire to understand a self-driving vehicle’s intent and decision-making process and its impact on their willingness to adopt. We conducted a study using a 63-question internet-based survey distributed in the United States to licensed drivers 18 years of age and older (n= 996) to examine consumer preferences of the information transparency of self-driving vehicles. Our findings suggest that middle-aged and older consumers of high household income were generally optimistic about the information sharing behavior and transparency of self-driving vehicles upon availability.

“…When the autonomous car takes care of everything that means driving, you can relax in the back seat, reading a book or watching a movie. In addition to these daily benefits, autonomous cars also have global benefits: they reduce carbon dioxide emissions, reduce traffic congestion, reduce transportation costs, free up parking spaces [5]. An important advantage is to increase safety by reducing the number of victims of road accidents.…”

Autonomous Control System for an Electric ATV

et al. 2021

This paper lays the foundations of an autonomous control system for an electric ATV type vehicle. The conversion of a classic motor vehicle into an electric one is shortly presented and the main advantages deriving from such a motorization especially in terms of the main impact on the environment in the sense that the noxious substances resulting from a classic thermal motorization are eliminated and the use of the vehicle can be extended for industrial halls too. This electric vehicle has, in addition to the classic proximity sensors, a high-resolution LIDAR type scanning system that allows it to map an enclosure so that the processed data can then be used in the autonomous driving algorithm. The LIDAR type scanning system is also correlated with a location system based on a LoRa communication system to allow a predictive location of the route followed by the autonomous vehicle. It is desired to use the whole complex, especially in some industrial halls and in the current context it is suitable to be used as a disinfection vehicle in order to prevent the personnel health issues in the context of SARS-COV2 epidemics.
