Abstract One of the targets UN Sustainable Development Goals is to substantially reduce number global deaths and injuries from road traffic collisions. To this aim, European cities adopted various urban mobility policies, which has led a heterogeneous across Europe. Monitoring discrepancies in understanding most efficient policies are keys achieve objectives Vision Zero, multi-national safety p...

A condition-based maintenance optimization approach is developed for the road-cracking problem in order to derive optimal maintenance policies that minimize a total discounted maintenance cost. The approach is based on a Markov decision process that takes into account multiple actions with varying effects on future road performance. Maintaining the road consists of adding a new asphalt layer; h...

Road safety is a major global concern, as millions of lives are lost every year because road accidents. Towards an effort to increase safety, several Internet-of-Vehicle systems have been developed over the last years in order better monitor vehicle and driver behavior issue warnings that effectively prevent life-threatening These face number challenges including connectivity issues high instal...

This paper investigates the usability of touch screens used in mass production road vehicles. Our goal is to provide a detailed comparison conventional physical buttons and capacitive taking human factor into account. The pilot test focuses on specific Non-driving Related Task (NDRT): control on-board climate system using screen panel versus rotating knobs push buttons. Psychological parameters...

R oad safety is a major public health problem in developed countries. Each year, around 1.2 million people die in the road traffic system (around 3000 per day) and more than 50 million are injured worldwide. About 2% of all deaths from any cause are related to traffic injuries, and about 23% of all injury deaths are caused by traffic accidents. Globally, there is a factor of around 40 between t...
