Commission on Travel Demand Shared Mobility Inquiry: Evidence Session 3
Leeds, 18 June 2019
The Commission on Travel Demand (CTD) is an expert group initially established as part of the UK Research and Innovation funded ‘DEMAND’ Centre initiative to explore the how to reduce the energy and associated carbon emissions associated with transport. The Commission’s first report “All Change? The Future of Travel Demand and its implications for policy and planning” reviewed declining trends in per capita travel across the UK and the reasons for this.
The first topic will be shared mobility. This will be explored through a call for evidence and expert evidence sessions from April 2019 involving regular engagement from national, local and regional government, NGOs, business and academics from both the UK and overseas.

A Usability Evaluation of Two Virtual Aids to Enhance Cursor Accessibility fo...J. Eduardo Pérez
Basic actions in the context of Web browsing, such as pointing at and clicking on links, can be seriously hindered by dexterity impairments affecting the use of hands and arms. In this paper, we present two different virtual aids for assisting motor-impaired users when pointing at and clicking on links. One of them, the “circular cursor”, aims at reducing the level of accuracy required for clicking on links, whereas the other one, the “cross cursor”, aims at reducing target distance for pointing at them. We conducted a web-based usability testing for both cursors with 9 motor-impaired and 6 able-bodied users applying their usual pointing device (4 keyboard, 4 joystick, 1 trackball and 6 mouse). The results show that motor-impaired participants mainly preferred one of either of the two variants proposed to the traditional cursor without any virtual aid for Web browsing.
The perception of commuting by bike may be a more important factor than perceived bike safety when deciding how to commute. To move more recreational bikers to commute via bike, changing people’s perception of biking as not only a recreational activity, but also a commute mode, may be a useful strategy.
Awareness on Road Signs and Markings of Drivers and Passengers along Maharlik...IJAEMSJORNAL
Road signs and markings are an integral part of the transportation systems which are logically designed and employed to provide essential road information for commuters’ safety and protection. The study is an evaluation of drivers and passengers’ awareness regarding road signs and markings along Maharlika Highway in the Province of Nueva Ecija particularly between the cities of San Jose and Cabanatuan. While drivers understanding and perception of road signs and markings were very substantial in the study, the perceptions of common passengers wereadded, because they are generally the victims of road accidents. A total of 100 drivers and passengers from the locality were surveyed based on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (4). The findings showed thatdrivers were aware and knowledgeable about road signs and markings but did not strictly abide by it. Passengers, on the other hand, were not very much aware of road safety features like road signs and markings and relied heavily on the capability of drivers since they believe that drivers were following rules and regulations onroad signs and markings.

I’ve made a graphical representation of 5 important trends in the area of smart vehicles (or if you prefer, ”connected vehicles”). Drop me a line if you'd like to share ideas on the subject.
Each of the trends is represented as the exchange of certain types of information between entities (or nodes).
-Diagnostics is all about: Collecting and sharing raw data about how the vehicle behaves on its trip from A to B: fuel consumption, speed, braking, acceleration, fail codes, geographical position; Turning that data into useful information or some form of valuation of the driving behavior; Using that to provide feedback and coaching to the driver on how to improve use of the vehicle. A popular variant is to do this in a gamified service.
- Personalization is about enabling the driver to bring along all his/her personal data: from contact lists and often-driven routes to their favourite music. An interesting development is the measurement of biometric data to monitor the driver’s physical condition, and use this to provide feedback or coaching e.g. for the benefit of a safer driving style. Aside from sensors in the vehicle, the increasing amount of devices worn directly on the body such as smart watches will contribute to this development.
- The most ”classic” of trends is providing the right information at the right time. Navigation, realtime traffic information and points of interest are and will remain core to an optimized driving experience. With cities and local service providers opening up their data sources, this will be complemented with other pieces of information from the travel environment such as realtime parking availability.
The dependence of electric cars on information about battery charging possibilities is adding additional info to the mix, such as real-time availability of charging stations. Tesla has announced it will even include local wind speeds (which affect aerodynamic drag and thus range) in their route optimization algorhythms.
- Social traffic: new services enabled by the sharing of vehicle- and traffic-related information via (not exclusively but mainly) smartphones. Vehicle sharing is a major feature provided by these services, whether its sharing a ride in a privately owned vehicle or locating and accessing a fleet car made available by a car sharing provider.
Then there are services that you can use during your drive to connect to other drivers, or provide useful information e.g. about traffic jams. Obviously, safety is an issue here – no service provider wants to be responsible for taking drivers' eyes of the road.
- The most technologically advanced trend is self-driving technology that is increasingly offered as an option or standard feature on new vehicles. This is enabled by communication between smart vehicles, and by the vehicle continuously interpreting spatial measurements of the surrounding environment. Most features are thusfar focused on specific driving situations.

The project goal is to make a van tracking application, which tracks the vans carrying students from home to schools and back. The proper tracking of vans and the notifications to parents on leaving and arrival of vans from home and school is another metric to ensure the monitoring of kids.
Developing a Comprehensive Safe-Driving Program for TeensCognizant
Teen driving is a critical concern for families, and a top-of-mind issue for insurers. Today, using advanced technologies such as telematics, the SMAC (TM) Stack (social, mobile, analytics and cloud), insurers offer all-inclusive safe-driving programs that help predict and prevent teen-related accidents— in real time
Improving the quality and cost effectiveness of multimodal travel behavior da...Sean Barbeau
Multimodal transportation such as transit, bike, walk, transportation network companies (TNCs) (e.g., Uber, Lyft), car share, and bike share are vital to supporting livable communities. However, current data collection techniques for multimodal travel behavior, including apps built specifically for travel behavior surveys, have limitations (e.g., significant negative impact on battery life, user acquisition) which prevent a better understanding of significant real-world challenges (e.g., multimodal traveler choices, relationships between travel behavior and health).
This webinar discusses the results of a recently completed research project funded by the National Center for Transit Research, “Improving the Quality and Cost Effectiveness of Multimodal Travel Behavior Data Collection”. In this project, the research team developed and deployed a proof-of-concept system to collect multimodal travel behavior data on an ongoing basis directly from users of a popular open-source mobile app for multi-modal information, OneBusAway (OBA). To overcome battery life challenges, the research team used the Android Activity Transition API, which leverages hardware advancements in modern mobile phones.
This webinar presents the technology used to implement this data collection tool, as well as the results of a pilot deployment to 676 beta testing users. Over 10 weeks, 74 users opted into the study without any incentive and contributed 65,582 trips. Key concerns discussed for data collection when conserving battery life include the timeliness and accuracy of data.

One bullet... remember: a phrase – 3-4 words
The current name chosen is "GoU" and is pronounced "Go", "U", or "Go" for short. It literally means "good to go" in mandarin Chinese, and also popularized in China by the physical gesture of the person responsible for signaling the aircraft pilot for being ready for takeoff on an aircraft carrier while at sea, in this case the official launch of the first ever aircraft carrier built by China named the "Liao Ning". See picture below on that famous gesture :)
