[EN] The growing group of European older inhabitants, namely senior citizens (aged + 65) belong
\nto the most vulnerable group to social exclusion. Transport accessibility is a concept, that
\ncan lead to enhancing life quality of seniors, which is shown based on the case study of
\nCracow, Poland as a European city. 100 seniors, that are living in different areas (urban,
\nsuburban), were asked for define different aspects that may influence their travel behaviour.
\nRespondents were indicating their individual concerns connected with travelling, the
\nexisting barriers and expected solutions.
\nThe goal of the paper is to present the main outcomes of the conducted surveys, in order to
\npresent the concept of transport accessibility in the context of the most important factors
\ninfluencing seniors life quality. The accessibility conditions and barriers, which can affect
\nmobility possibilities and different activities of senior citizens in urban areas, are indicated
\nin the paper. The identification of the crucial aspects of accessibility play an important role
\nin development of sustainable transport system together with sustainable urban design, that
\nwill be friendly for all citizens in aging society.

[EN] Algerians citizens most often travel by foot on their daily trips because the lack of a homogeneous offer of public
\ntransit and intermodality throughout the city. Furthermore, the private vehicle is experiencing a notable increased
\nuse over the last few years. To curb this tendency, the government has launched a metro and a tramway system as
\nkey parts of a whole sustainable transport strategy. Guaranteeing the profitability of these modes of transport
\ndemands a high quality operation level focused on the users’ needs and requirements. While numerous studies have
\nbeen carried out in developed countries for identifying the essential aspects of different transit modes, this area is
\nstill new in developing countries. Then, this paper aims to identify the key quality factors of the railway transit
\nservices in Algiers for advising transit authorities and managers towards the most appropriate policy measures. The
\nrailway transit services in Algiers consist on three modes of transport: the metro, the tramway (both started into
\noperation in 2011), and a commuter rail system. A Principal Component Analysis combined with a regression model
\nintegrates the assessment approach. The results of this research highlight differences among the transit systems
\nanalyzed and provide useful insights for the Algiers government and transit authorities.

[EN] The target of this paper is to analyse the main elements of Air Transport sustainability, studying their evolution during the last years and establishing the future prevalent trends, which might be modified by the application of the adequate policies. Air Transport sustainability is considered as integrated by five basic characteristics: physical accessibility, economic affordability, safety, security and environmental impact. Each one of them has its own influence on the development of this transportation mode and all of them are required in order to achieve a sustainable development. After defining the structural elements of the five characteristics and the corresponding quantitative indicators, the paper studies the recent evolution of such indicators and extrapolates the most likely future trends, having taken into account the most relevant limitations presently existent or potentially appearing in the near future. The most important policies being presently studied (future aircraft designs, infrastructure developments, potential safety and security new rules and tentative environmental action programs) are evaluated, considering the potential repercussions on sustainability progress. Some combinations of them are suggested as the most efficient alternatives for preserving the sustainable development of XXI century air transport.

[ES] Para diseñar y evaluar alternativas la reordenación de transporte público en Pamplona se
\ndesarrollaron herramientas de modelización de dos aspectos fundamentales del sistema de
\ntransporte:
\n Un modelo económico y de explotación, que relaciona la operación de las líneas con el
\nresultado económico del operador de transporte público, y
\n Un modelo de la movilidad, que relaciona la oferta en transporte público con su demanda
\nEl primero se compone de un representación detallada de los parámetros de explotación de
\ncada línea (kilómetros recorridos, nº de expediciones, horas de conducción, material móvil),
\ny de un modelo económico que relaciona los costes reales del operador de transporte público
\ncon parámetros de explotación. Permite inferir así el resultado económico de otras
\nalternativas de explotación, una vez definidas con detalle su explotación.
\nEl segundo es un modelo de la movilidad en cuatro etapas, desarrollado a partir de una
\nencuesta domiciliaria realizada recientemente. Permite estimar la demanda de alternativas
\nde ordenación de la red, y en particular la captada del vehículo privado.
\nUtilizando ambas herramientas fue posible el diseño de alternativas de ordenación de la red
\nque, aun manteniendo prácticamente igual la subvención al sistema de transporte,
\nincrementaban el uso del transporte público. La primera alternativa analizada corresponde a
\nuna mejora evolutiva de la actual estructura de red, mientras la segunda, basada en ejes
\ntroncales en plataforma exclusiva, constituye una mayor apuesta al transporte público.

[EN] The relationship between active transportation and its role in health of population motivated the continuation of a pilot study evaluating the use of bicycles in a mountain town. The objective was to evaluate people over 30 years old, with different physical abilities, in a predefined route and check if the relief was impediment. The studied divided the riders into 2 groups: active and sedentary. It was performed a comparison of the physiological impact (heart rate, blood pressure) and a subjective perception (modified Borg's scale), ranking the degrees of difficulty during route stretches. The participants filled in a form before and after the course. Most sedentary participants, despite having greater difficulty and reaching higher heart rates on certain stretches, managed to make the trip. It suggests that the current technology of the bike allows people less physically conditioned to be able to use the bike in mountain cities.

[ES] La información obtenida de forma directa de una encuesta domiciliaria, basada en el hogar,
\nno puede considerarse, en general, fidedigna a nivel de pares O-D. Los viajes capturados se
\nexpanden para reproducir el número de viajes totales y los generados por las zonas de
\ntransporte. A través de ese proceso de expansión se concentran los viajes generados por las
\nzonas de transporte en un pequeño conjunto de relaciones O-D capturadas en la encuesta.
\nPor el contrario, las virtudes de una matriz O-D derivada de la telefonía móvil son varias:
\nrelativamente rápida de obtener y económicamente muy competitiva frente a una nueva
\nencuestación, está basada en observaciones de una muestra amplia de la población y no tiene
\nriesgo de sesgo ni de una baja tasa de respuesta. Sin embargo, por su naturaleza, tiene
\ndificultades para captar los viajes de corta duración. Esta comunicación combina la
\ninformación derivada de la telefonía móvil con la obtenida mediante encuestas domiciliarias,
\nconteos de tráfico y datos de tiempos de viaje para obtener una matriz Origen-Destino
\nrepresentativa de hora punta de la Ciudad de Málaga y los municipios integrados en el ámbito
\nterritorial del Consorcio de Transporte Metropolitano del Área de Málaga (CTMAM), junto
\na Torremolinos y Benalmádena por estar enclavados en el ámbito territorial del consorcio.
\nEl trabajo ha sido desarrollado en el marco de un proyecto de investigación para la Agencia
\nde Obra Pública de la Junta de Andalucía. La comunicación presenta aspectos novedosos en
\ncuanto a la información de partida, matrices de telefonía móviles y datos de tiempo de viaje
\nde Google para todos los arcos de la red, tanto como en la metodología desarrollada para la
\ncompleta integración de dicha información de naturaleza heterogénea.

[EN] The European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) was created in 2004 with the aim of ensuring interoperability among the existing electronic toll collection (ETC) systems in Europe. However, the lack of cooperation between groups of stakeholders has not made possible to achieve this goal ten years later. The purpose of this research is to determine the better way to achieve interoperability among the different ETC systems in Europe.
\n
\nOur study develops a review of the six main ETC systems available worldwide: Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Satellite systems (GNSS), Tachograph, and Mobile communications tolling systems. The research also provides some insight on different emerging technologies. By focusing on different operational and strategic aspects offered by each technology, we identify their main strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and makes different recommendations to improve the current framework.
\n
\nThe research concludes that given the diversity of advantages and inconveniences offered by each system, the selection of a certain ETC technology should also take into account its potential to overcome the weaknesses in the current ETC framework. In this line, different policy recommendations are proposed to improve the present ETC strategy at the EU.

[ES] A pesar de los grandes avances en materia de calidad experimentados por los sistemas de
\nautobús en los últimos años, sigue arraigada la creencia de que se trata de un medio de
\ntransporte de escasa fiabilidad y peor imagen. Sin embargo, la continua innovación que
\nse viene aplicando tanto a los vehículos como a las infraestructuras y a la propia
\noperación, ha mejorado notablemente la eficiencia de los distintos sistemas, incidiendo
\ntanto en el nivel como en la calidad de servicio.
\nEl proyecto europeo 3iBS ha permitido que, a través de una serie de indicadores,
\naplicados a los tres aspectos mencionados, se analicen distintos casos de estudio en
\nEspaña, Francia, Italia y Reino Unido, al objeto de averiguar cuáles son los principales
\nfactores que dificultan o favorecen la calidad y el nivel de servicio. Dichos factores
\nafectan a cuestiones regulatorias, técnicas, financieras y otras más difusas como la imagen
\no la mercadotecnia. La elaboración de unas fichas previas, con datos generales y
\nexhaustivos de cada sistema examinado, ha permitido establecer los criterios utilizados
\npara medir los diferentes niveles de servicio y calidad de cada sistema considerado.
\nFinalmente, y tras el análisis de cinco casos de estudio, se han extraído algunas
\nrecomendaciones y buenas prácticas para mejorar la eficiencia y la competitividad de los
\nautobuses, aumentando y perfeccionando su papel dentro de la movilidad urbana.

[EN] The current practice for assessing driver competence performance is in-cab riding by driver
\nmanagers. However, this paper investigates whether real-world driving data extracted from
\non-train monitoring recorders data (OTMR) can be used to assess the driver performance.
\nA number of indicators were used to evaluate the drivers’ performance. These include:
\ntheir use of the emergency bypass switch, the driver's reminder appliance as well as the
\ndriver’s reaction time.
\nA study case illustrated the applicability of OTMR data to estimate the proposed
\nindicators, which suggests that the indicators can be useful in the driver management
\nsystem in addition to the current indicators. Furthermore, the proposed indicators could be
\nused to tailor the driver training schemes up to their individual needs and evaluate their
\neffectiveness. They could even be used for improving driver competence performance and
\nreducing crash involvement by revealing potentially detrimental driving performance.
