AEOLIX Living Labs Operational ImpactsAssessment
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This document provides the AEOLIX impact assessment of living labs at the operational level. It is based on three main impacts namely business, environment, and socio-economic impacts. The three impacts are sub-divided further into sub-categories. The report collects data from twelve living labs involved in with AEOLIX. One of the main goals of AEOLIX was to reduce the costs for various logistics activities as implemented in twelve living labs. The expected benefits in the business area are from reducing the consumption of different resources, reducing the time used for various activities, and from increasing the productivity in certain areas. The economic or business benefits came along two dimensions: (i) in terms of time and (ii) in terms of money. In terms of time, AEOLIX facilitated reducing the time spent on various activities at the companies. In terms of money, AEOLIX helped to save the costs of specific logistics activities within the living lab. For the environmental aspect an overall value of 20% was set as target value for reduction in CO2 emission using AEOLIX. Only one of all living labs reached this target value, but there was anyhow a reduction found in all living labs. AEOLIX and its functions have also helped in reducing noise pollution at some of the living labs. In some cases, there was quite a considerable reduction. For the socio-economic aspects the job creation, SME empowerment, and the improved quality of life are addressed. This study has explored the impact of AEOLIX on job creation in terms of drivers’ and operators’ jobs. Since the AEOLIX implementation is still in its initial phases, respondents were unable to estimate how many jobs (drivers and/or operators) were created in the long run. SME Empowerment was measured as the increase in SMEs’ market share and the increase in direct collaboration between SMEs and large organizations. The results were meager both with regard to the market share and the extent of collaboration. The improved quality of life is measured in the way AEOLIX puts more focus on work, the less stress at work and a positive attitude towards people using it. The results reflect that AEOLIX has greatly helped employees to put more focus on work and to reduce stress levels. Managers consider this as a positive side of the return on investment (ROI) as the business processes are improved. AEOLIX impact on various socio-economic aspects is in principle positive but as this process is very slow to emerge it takes time to observe any changes in social aspects. Acceptance and trust on AEOLIX can be captured as a majority of the evaluation managers of the living labs found the AEOLIX functions (dashboard, connectivity engine and toolkit) useful to a great extent. The willingness to continue using AEOLIX functions and their usefulness are directly related to each other. This means that the more useful a function is, the more users are willing to continue using it. The AEOLIX platform, through various services and functions, has a positive impact on society in general and on workers in particular. Although this impact cannot be evaluated financially for the first year of the AEOLIX implementation, numerous studies show that a more satisfying and less stressful job, together with a more welcoming and stimulating environment, have an important economic impact in the long-term period. Therefore, the fact that AEOLIX has a positive impact on society will also prove to be an economic benefit for the different companies.

D6.1. Impacts monitoring, dynamic asessment and evaluation. Deliverable to the AEOLIX project.
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The main purpose of this deliverable is to present the evaluation framework of the AEOLIX platform. The evaluation framework is built based on the eleven Living Labs and will rely on a two-level assessment: the operational benefits in terms of business advantages derived from the implementation of the Living Labs and a mechanism called “Dynamic Impact Monitoring” which will monitor and assess the market penetration of the AEOLIX solution to local industry through the use of KPIs. FESTA methodology tailored to the needs of AEOLIX is proposed for the overall evaluation approach. The deliverable outlines the general evaluation framework for impact assessment of the AEOLIX solution and offers to the Living Lab partners the guidelines regarding the evaluation procedure to their respective Living Lab.

D17.3. Eco-Driving Assistance. Guidelines for Ergonomic Design of Eco-Driving Assistance HMIs
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Based on an extensive literature survey and an analysis of the results from EBSF_2 demonstrations of different Green Driving Assistance Systems in Barcelona, Lyon, Madrid, and San Sebastian, this deliverable proposes guidelines for the design of an eco-driving assistance system HMI. In addition to general HMI guidelines, to be applied to the design of all in-vehicle HMIs, the deliverable suggests design guidelines in relation to pre-drive, on-drive, ride-break, and post-ride HMIs, i.e. information presented in the HMI of a driver assistance system at different timeframes. The guidelines concern information content as well as the choice of information modality.

Inner-city Evening Distribution. An evaluation of timesaving potential and environmental impact from a pilot project
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 19th Annual NOFOMA Conference, Reykjavik, 7.8 June, 2007.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Inner-city evening delivery has been tested by two companies in the grocery business in a pilot project in Stockholm, Sweden during 2005-2006. The aim was to evaluate what consequences evening distribution will have on a number of factors, e.g. distribution time, ev´nvironmental aspects, capital utilisation and the working environment. The result show that the possible time saving is about 20-25% when the delivery starts after 18.00 compared to morning delivery. The environmental benefits are of the same range. However, many of the actors must be willing to change their routinnes and other conditions. These obstacles and others must be overcome before the full pontential can be reached.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Living Labs are promoted throughout the EU and beyond as being ‘user-centred, open innovation ecosystems based on a systematic user co-creation approach integrating research and innovation processes in real life communities and settings’. This paper aims to understand what Living Labs are and how they may best be utilised within the context of digitalisation of sociotechnical work. Using a combination of literature study and field studies at two Living Labs within the freight transportation sector, it discusses the potential of Living Labs as a forum for enabling co-creation between multi-disciplinary actors directly in the workplace.

D2.5. KPIs and Evaluation Criteria. Deliverable to the AEOLIX project.
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The main objective of this deliverable is to present the elements of the evaluation framework of the AEOLIX platform. From a thorough investigation of the concept Living Lab, this deliverable strives to identify what constitutes a "best practice" Living Lab for the Freight Transportation sector. The Living Lab to be implemented can be categories into three categries: 1. Hub, port, terminal, 2. Supply chain visibility and vertical control, and 3. Network optimisation, identifying management needs, data needs and putputs, and the intelligence level needed. The FESTA FOT methodology is presented as the evaluation approach adapted to freight transportation. How to determine Functions, Use Cses, Research Questions, and Hypotheses is discussed in some detail. The 11 Living Labs (LLs) are addressed, and suitable research questions are derived from the objectives of each LL. This is the first step to determine the Performance Indicator (PIs). A section on acceptance and trust is included. The iteration element will be very important to keep in mind when the use cases, research questions, hypotheses and PIs are developed. The deliverable ends with short sections on measures, data collection and evaluation criteria.

EBSF/D2.2.1 Appendix Part A: R&D Projects in the filed of ergonomics & bus driver workplace
- 2009
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A limited literature review has been performed in the area "ergonomics and bus driver workplace". The present and past focus has been identified and the references are grouped into nine groups. The list is far from complete but highlights in a separtate section "general issues" where references with substantial referecne lists in their own right are listed; the objective being that these references can be seen as natural starting points for any new R&D activity addressing bus driver workplace design and related problems or problem areas. The reference list as a whole has a bias towards stress (health), workload (fatigue) and seating (comfort) and related issues; almost 50% of the references listed cover this area; an eplanation being that many have thir origin in studies about the negative impacts of the working environment of a bus driver.
