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.

Public Transportation in a Systems Perspective A Conceptual Model and an Analytical Framework for Design and Evaluation
- 1999
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Today urban areas are faced with problems like traffic congestion, air pollution, and limited accessibility and transport policy issues are focused on the "sustainable city of the future". For decision-makers the crucial question is how, with limited financial resources, a system for public transportation should be designed and developed to provide attractive travel and transport services. The basic problem is related to the systems design process itself, as the introduction of advanced applications based on new information and communication technologies will require a better understanding of public transportation in a systems perspective. By combining cognitive systems engineering and transportation systems analysis, relevant elements of control and communication theories (cybernetics) and human factors, a conceptual model and an analytical framework for public (mass passenger) transportation are developed. By use of a means-ends hierarchy of functional levels, the model describes five dynamic processes (the accessibility, travel, transport, traffic, and motion processes) in public transportation. Structural elements of the model (nodes for control functions, information collection and processing, and links for data and information flows) and their characteristics are identified and discussed. The framework and the model are, for validation purposes, applied in a design task (the realisation of an information centre for travellers and passengers) and in an evaluation task (an exploration and analysis of how incidents and disturbances are handled in Gothenburg). The complexity of public transportation is further explored, and control and data filtering needs on each functional level are identified and related to the potential of future dynamic interaction between actors on different functional levels. It is finally stated that the systems approach used to develop the model and the framework will become a necessary basis for future new ideas of how to promote the transportation of people by public means and, in that respect, the concept of intermodal passenger transport is critically assessed. The potential of the conceptual model and the analytical framework, to incorporate all possible means of transport (public and private) as well as to apply to the transportation of goods, is also discussed.

Telefot: First achievements and results from fots on aftermarket and nomadic devices in vehicles C3 - 18th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems and ITS America Annual Meeting 2011
- 2011
-
Ingår i: 18th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems and ITS America Annual Meeting 2011; New York, NY; United States; 16 October 2011 through 20 October 2011. ; 2, s. 1263-1275
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discusses the status and first results achieved in TeleFOT (Field Operational Tests of Aftermarket and nomadic Devices in vehicles), a Large Scale European research project within the 7th Framework Programme. The project aims at assessing the impacts of driver support functions on the driving task via Field Operational Tests (FOT), involving large fleets of test drivers in real-life driving conditions across Europe. Up to 3000 drivers are involved in the tests, which are organized in three test communities in Northern (Finland, Sweden), Central (Germany, UK, France) and Southern (Greece, Italy, Spain) Europe. The TeleFOT FOTs are planned in two phases: first, long term testing will involve a large number of vehicles testing drivers using mature functions provided to the driver on an aftermarket or nomadic device platform and in real-life driving conditions. In the second phase, detailed testing to support the interpretation of the results from the large scale tests will be carried out with a limited number of subjects driving instrumented cars. The TeleFOT's scientific and technological objectives include studying different levels of impacts on drivers and society, including usability and user acceptance, safety, efficiency, mobility and socio-economic impacts on the transport system. The paper presents the impact areas studied in TeleFOT as well as a description of the Field Operational Tests carried out in TeleFOT, and it concludes with the main achievements, results and lessons learned so far in the project mainly leaning on some first results from the pilot test phase.

Utvärdering av pilotprojekt med Kvällsdistribution i Stockholms innerstad (Östermalm) 2005-2006
- 2007
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under 2005-2006 har ett pilotprojekt med kvällsdistribution genomförts i Stockholms innerstad (Östermalm). Projektet har sitt ursprung i diskussioner mellan dagligvaruhandelns aktörer inom ramen för dialoggruppen Framtida Handel (www.framtidahandel.se).Denna rapport redovisar resultaten från en oberoende utvärdering av detta projekt. Arbetet har utförts av Chalmers EnergiCentrum CEC (www.cec.chalmers.se). Både kvantitativa och kvalitativa data har samlats in. Körjournaler har genererat körtider, stopptider, butikslägen, körsträcka och störningar. En workshop med deltagande aktörer och intressenter har identifierat svagheter och styrkor i kvällsdistribution som koncept. Dessutom har individuella intervjuer fått fram både positiva och negativa erfarenheter på pilotprojektets genomförande. Detta är viktigt för framtida bruk eftersom pilotprojekt genomfördes i ”verkligheten” och projektgruppen ställdes inför oförutsedda problem, som måste lösas efter hand (och oftast ad hoc). De huvudsakliga resultaten av pilotprojektet kan sammanfattas enligt följande: Det sker en tydlig minskning av tidsåtgången med ca 10 minuter av en i genomsnitt 85 minuters lång rutt när trängselskatten var införd. Det sker en tydlig minskning av tidsåtgång med ca 15 minuter vid kvällsdistribution (kl. 18-20) jämfört med eftermiddagsdistribution (kl. 14-18). Denna bekräftas av ”simulerad” körning med personbil då morgontur (kl. 8-9) jämförs med kvällstur (kl. 18-19). Den beräknade miljöbelastningen minskar med drygt 20 % per fordon vid denna typ av kvällsdistribution och för de sträckor som försöket handlade om. Effekten beror på vilken medelhastighet fordonen kan hålla i olika trafiksituationer. Det är lättare att lossa vid kaj utanför morgontid på grund av färre konkurrerande lastbilar. Dock blockerar fler felparkerade personbilar lastzonerna utefter gatan. Framgång med kvällsdistribution är beroende på affärsinnehavarens inställning, dvs. om en vilja att bryta med traditionens makt och pröva nya lösningar finns. De flesta aktörerna ser positivt på dialogen Framtida Handel. Den har redan skapat en ökad kontaktyta och bättre förståelse mellan olika aktörer inom dagligvaruhandeln. Förhoppningen är stor att flera liknande studier kan genomföras i framtiden med målet att stimulera en miljömässigt och ekonomiskt hållbar utveckling inom området. Om erfarenheterna från det nu aktuella pilotprojektets genomförande tas tillvara kan detta ske med stor kraft. Vi lämnar följande rekommendationer inför framtida projekt: Alla projekt med försök och demonstrationer av nya lösningar, där ett syfte är att utröna om vissa (policy)mål kan nås efter införande i full skala, måste utvärderas objektivt och med relevans. Både positiva och negativa erfarenheter måste rapporteras. Först då kan kunskapen bli total, dvs. nästa projekt kan vara bättre förberett och nå längre i sin strävan efter ny kunskap. Projektets utvärderingsbudget måste vara tillräckligt stor. En särskild buffert för förändringar under resans gång måste inrättas.

D1.1.1. Report on Study Cases and Recommendations for Demonstration Projects. Accessibility and Safety.
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall purposes of the 3iBS project were to promote and exploit key findings from research on bus systems, exploit and implement key solutions, and promote the dissemination and exchange of knowledge on a global scale. The exploitation of earlier results and further development of selected areas are to help to make future bus systems more attractive for passengers, more efficient and economic to operate as well as more environmentally friendly, and at the same time reinforce the position of the European Bus Industry – in Europe and elsewhere. The project was organised into three main work packages (WP) where WP1 focuses the following key topics: accessibility and safety; optimized accessibility and operations during special events;modularity, internal and external; energy strategy, including efficiency and management; IT standardized platform for bus system; intermodality with other public transport and complementary transport modes; and level of services. In WP1.1. the first of the seven topics mentioned earlier was addressed. This deliverable, D1.1.1. “Study Cases and Recommendations for Demonstration Projects”, describes the results from the first of three tasks. It summarizes the results of an inventory of relevant projects, describes the study cases and the results of a cross case analysis, and presents recommendations for demonstration projects. The inventory showed that a large number of projects has addressed accessibility, in particular the accessibility for travellers with disabilities. Less focus seems to have been given safety (and security) in public transport. Measures to improve bus stops and stations typically seem to involve the reduction of physical barriers by shrinking for instance the gaps between platform and vehicle. A few projects have addressed the issue of accessibility by other means, for instance by improved lighting. Overall, considering the physical design of bus stops and stations from a cognitive and an affective accessibiity perspective (e.g. perceived safety and security) appears less investigated compared to physical design from a physical accessibility perspective. Measures targeting vehicles concern the introduction of low floor buses, with positive consequences for all travellers, and/or the introduction of different ramps and appropriate space onboard to facilitate access to travellers using a wheelchair. Few projects seem to have, however, considered other features in the interior of the bus, including colours, materials, lighting, etc. from an accessibility and/or from a safety perspective. The interior of buses is an area where more radical innovations could lead to increased safety and security as well as improve the attractiveness of the bus system and hence the public transport system. Such examples appear to be rare. A considerable part of earlier projects has involved the development of information and information systems including dynamic information for all travellers, such as real-time information and travel information on the Internet. Information services have also been developed with a content adapted to the needs of travellers with special needs, such as web-services describing the physical accessibility of stations and vehicles. Furthermore have different technical solutions been introduced to increase users’ accessibility to information, for instance by providing audio-information and information in braille to travellers with reduced eyesight. New ticketing systems involve the introduction of e-ticketing (smart card, payment by mobile phone), but a few also the principles behind. However, the focus has most often not been elderly travellers or travellers with special needs. Even though a large number of elderly and people with different disabilities use credit cards, smart cards, and smart phones, etc. there are also large groups that do not. Given the considerable efforts to make public transport available to elderly travellers and travellers with disabilities it is somewhat surprising that this function has not been included in accessibility initiaties. It is therefore important to investigate how present and future elderly travellers perceive such new ticketing systems solutions. Another challenge that has to be highlighted is how the introduction of contactless cards (using for example RFID or NFC technologies) for ticketing combined with other services can be integrated with old ticketing system concepts to make seamless travel possible for everyone. Overall, some earlier projects have focused a specific solution to improve (primarily) accessibility, whereas other projects have taken a systems approach in modifying and improving different parts of the bus system. Elderly (in general) have been a particular target group as have travellers using a wheelchair whereas travellers with other types of disabilities (mental/cognitive) do not seem to have received the same attention. The described projects and interventions have in most cases been evaluated from a traveller perspective but there are also examples where no evaluations by travellers have been conducted (or the evaluations have not been made available). It is difficult to judge if the evaluations have been made within a short time after the introduction of the intervention or after a longer time (months or years after the introduction). Whether a vehicle is accessible for a traveller using a wheelchair can be evaluated immidiately after a change (in terms of e.g. a ramp) has been introduced but if the system is made accessible is also a question of, for instance the number of buses equipped with ramps, the knowledge and attitudes of drivers and other travellers, and the perception and attitude of the traveller. System accessibility is, hence, more difficult to assess and in most cases such evaluations can probably not be completedd until a certain level of dissemination has been reached and time has passed. Long-term evaluations on the effects of interventions appear rare.

TeleFOT, field operational tests of aftermarket nomadic devices in vehicles, early results
- 2010

Ingår i: 17th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems, ITS 2010, Busan, South Korea, 25-29 October 2010.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents the European Large Scale Collaborative Project TeleFOT, describing its status and its first results. The paper is structured into two main sections: The first paragraph briefly introduces the justification and core elements of TeleFOT, showing the scope and primary objectives of the project. Significant research and development in Europe in recent years have been focusing on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), since they are contributing to a change in mobility. The number of devices supporting transportation is increasing. In particular, the market penetration of aftermarket nomadic devices as personal navigation devices (PND) or smart phones is growing exponentially according to the market trends, but no scientific evidence of impacts directly related to the use of aftermarket and nomadic devices in vehicle exist yet. Therefore there is a need to test via Field Operational Tests (FOT) the impacts of driver support functions on the driving task, including future interactive traffic services that will become part of driving environment systems. The second paragraph of this paper illustrates the Field Operational Tests to be conducted in TeleFOT and progress reached so far in the project. These include (but are not limited to) large scale test sites in 8 member states, FOT framework creation, benchmarking, piloting and data analysis planning.

SMARTFREIGHT/ IR6.1: Theoretical background and intermediate local scenarios for services to be provided
- 2009
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A conceptual model is preented that is well suited to understand the relationhsips between traffic, transport and logistics. The model has been published and used in international work (EC, OECD, etc.) and is in this context used to facilitate the harmonisation and common understanding of terminology within SMARTFREIGHT. (MARTFREIGHT is a FP7 project (Contract N. FP7-216353). The model is used to explain why, in an urban context, the traffic management and freight transport community still have rather limited knowledge of each other's field and perspective. These communities will face a difficult learning process, necessary to understand how to best market the addedd functionalities offered by SMARTFREIGHT, and a combined/tentative "Freight Transport Service & Control Centre" (FTSCC) is proposed. The extended functionalities to be developed in SMARTFREIGHT are presented, and a first approach to the testing of these functionalities in the SMARTFREIGHT context is discussed. A template to show the general character and level of detail for a typical SMARTFREIGHT scenario is given.

Real-time traveler information from an organizational perspective: Driving forces, implementation issues, and deployment effects.
- 2009
-
Ingår i: 16th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems and Services, ITS 2009; Stockholm; Sweden; 21 September 2009 through 25 September 2009.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Systems for real-time traveler information are today common in public transport organizations. Earlier studies have predominantly been focusing on the direct effects like patronage and traveler‟s opinion. This interview study focuses on the organizations. Representatives of public transport authorities in Sweden have been interviewed and results suggest that introductions have been done without clear motives and with little or no focus on organizational change. It seems, however, as if the organizational changes that followed implementation accompanied an increased customer focus.

Users' perception and reported effects of long-term access to in-vehicle traffic information services mediated through nomadic devices: Results from a large-scale inter-european field operational test
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Transport and Telecommunication. - : Walter de Gruyter GmbH. - 1407-6160 .- 1407-6179. ; 16:3, s. 197-206
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- ICT-mediated traffic information has been argued to contribute to a more sustainable transport system through affecting drivers. Nevertheless, long-term effects of travellers having access to nomadic in-vehicle systems for traveller information are not well known. This study presents the results from a multi-national large-scale field operational test (FOT). The results show that the users in general were positive to the tested systems and that there were several effects on their driving behaviour but in many cases the effects were limited. Moreover the effects varied between system types. Positive effects were related to comfort, as well as individual and system efficiency. One could also notice that perceived effects were not as high as the participants had expected, leading to some disappointment. Most of the times this was due to the tested systems functioning in a less than optimal way.
