NSI-MI Technologies’ Post

🚲 Research for safe road traffic Ngoc Chi Banh (A05) and Prof. Dr. Ingrid Scharlau have recently co-authered an article entitled "Safety Assistance Systems for Bicyclists: Toward Empirical Studies of the Dooring Problem". In this article, the authors develop advanced assistance systems for cyclists in order to achieve the goal of zero road deaths per year. Their research focuses on the dooring problem - when car doors are opened carelessly and endanger cyclists. By extending a virtual cycling environment with V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communication, they show how this technology can help prevent such accidents and increase road safety.

The Voice of zeroing down carbon emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change fronting us on the planet today, speaks to the heart of eBee.africa and eBee.uganda

Glad the paper is openly accessible now.

As people shift from driving to walking, cycling, and using public transportation, road safety becomes more critical than ever. That’s because road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death and disability across the globe. This year’s 7th edition of United Nations Global Road Safety Week highlights sustainable transport and taking action to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries. Both play a major role in the work we do as transportation and city planning engineers. We partner with governments and agencies worldwide on active transportation projects, helping our clients to create safer, healthier communities and more sustainable and equitable societies.

New in JTLU: “Exploring factors affecting route choice of cyclists: A novel varying-contiguity spatially lagged exogenous modeling approach” by Nick van Nijen and M. Baran Ulak, University of Twente; Sander Veenstra, Witteveen+Bos; and Karst Geurs, University of Twente. https://lnkd.in/g7AAWCXj A critical element in guiding improvements and expansions to the bicycling network is to understand the route choice of cyclists, which helps identify bottlenecks in bicycle flows and substantiate the need for new bicycle infrastructure. This study developed a model to analyze the likelihood of a cyclist choosing a certain route based not only on the characteristics of that segment but also considering characteristics along a route—such as bicycle facilities, traffic control, bicycle and motorized-vehicle volumes, and different land-use zones. #BicycleNetwork #UrbanPlanning #Bicycling The paper appears in the special issue: Modeling Choice Behavior of Cyclists & Pedestrians in Urban Areas.

📈 How do we create value?   As a leading operator of mid-to-late life assets, we commit to making the most of our assets.   This week, our colleagues Johan Snefuglli Røe and Knut Gjertsen joined Trøndelag på Børs Næringsforeningen i Trondheimsregionen (NiT) to talk about our strategy and what we do to become a leading mid-to late operator on the NCS:   🔹 Hasselmus - our first development project as an operator 🔹 Power from shore - electrification of Draugen to offset CO2 emissions by nearly 200,000 tonnes per year from 2027. 🔹 Increased production at Brage and Draugen through effective resource utilisation and development of remaining resources. Thanks for the interesting discussions! #Operationalexcellence

Today Jesper Rulffs and I arttented Electric & Hybrid marine Ship Expo in Amsterdam. To the Port of Skagen electricification of the port is a strategic focus point. Partnerships and industry knowledge are key elements in succeding. #PortofSkagen #Skagenhavn #REDIIPorts #BlueSupplyChains #GreenSupplyChains

Warning: incoming rant! Roads are our most visible shared resource. Whether we're in a chauffeur driven Rolls or a 20 year old jalopy. Whether we're ferrying children or hauling goods for a multinational. Whether we're walking, cycling, driving, or using the bus. Whether we're buying a tin of beans from the local shop or getting a letter through our letter box. So every pothole (and there's one every couple of yards in Manchester) isn't just a pothole. It's a symbol of just how little value has been placed on our shared resources. That scar represents all the scars on our public services.
