"From Japan to the world… on two wheels": Comparing self-reported behavioral data of Japanese cyclists with current global trends INTRAS researchers participate in the 12th International Cycling Safety Conference, to be held from 5 to 7 November 2024 in Imabari (Japan). The mission of the International Cycling Safety (ICS) community is to improve cycling safety through scientific work. The ICS community intends to disseminate scientific results to all cycling safety stakeholders. The yearly ICS conferences offer a premium forum to share scientific results and to favor networking inside the ICS community. Theme of ICSC 2024: Cycling Safety Culture To date, there is an ever-increasing interest in research, from policy level to road and street level, on the issue of how to achieve safe cycling in society. Discussions on such research focus on defining the cycling safety culture, explore road user behaviour and the activities of people and organisations involved in road safety, and include an ongoing debate on how researchers around the world can contribute to safe cycling. Therefore, by focusing on cycling safety culture, the conference hopes to provide an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the state of cycling safety in the world and to foster international collaboration among researchers to reduce cycling crashes and injuries.

Evaluating Public Policies for SustainableMobility: A Review Through SomeInterdisciplinary Methodologiesand Procedures
Francisco Alonso, Mireia Faus, Sergio Useche, José L. Velarte, Mónica Alonso
(2024). LlibreStrengthening European Mobility Policy. No.p.13-26
We recommend acknowledging the importance of evaluation as an undisputable need in developing sustainable mobility policies. To achieve this policy recommendation, we propose to take into account the following: (1) Evaluations must be comprehensive, multidisciplinary, continuous, summative, rigorous, and economically feasible, led by those responsible for its design and implementation; (2) The incorporation of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) as a structured tool to evaluate the success of policies is recommended; (3) Continuous innovations hould be encouraged in policy development and evaluation processes, taking advantage of potential new technological advances to ensure that...

International Conference on Sustainable Transport, SuTra 2024, is organized jointly by the University North, Croatia and University of Rijeka, Faculty of Maritime Studies, Croatia. Globalization brings new challenges in transport of goods and passengers. In order to cope with the rising demand for transportation of every kind, special attention must be paid to ensure the sustainability of the modern transport. SUTRA conference is focused on multidisciplinary research and development, as well as operational experiences, all with the aim to discuss optimal scientific and engineering solutions to reduce the negative environmental impact of transportation systems. This must inevitably be done by interdisciplinary approach and taking into consideration different means of transport: maritime, rail, road and air services, as well as inland waterways. The variety of topics covered by the SUTRA conference reflects the complex interaction of the transport systems with their environment. SUTRA conference is intended to gather together academia, business and administration, all key stakeholders in ensuring the sustainability of the transport.

Estrategias de comunicación en salud pública: estudio de su efectividad
Mireia Faus, Francisco Alonso, Cesáreo Fernández
(2024). ArticleInfonomy. No.2(5):e24054
Hablar de salud pública conlleva necesariamente, aparte de otras consideraciones, hablar de comunicación. Sin una comunicación efectiva orientada a la población, la salud pública tendrá importantes impedimentos para su correcto desarrollo e implementación, más allá de otros aspectos de índole económicos, sociales, de planificación, políticos, etc. El presente artículo se centra en discernir, desde las evidencias y el análisis científicos, sobre las mejores prácticas y estrategias de comunicación relativas a la salud pública, a la vez que identificar carencias y posibles errores al respecto, para tratar de proporcionar recomendaciones o guías que mejoren su efectividad.

Exploring the causes of frequent accidents at highway tunnel exits: Coupling analysis of the slack effect and white hole effect in extra-long tunnels
Yongzheng Yang, Zhigang Du, Francisco Alonso, Mireia Faus, Jialin Mei
(2024). ArticleTransportation Research Part F: Psychology and Behaviour. No.106:288-305
In this paper, the causes of frequent traffic accidents at the exits of highway tunnels are inves-tigated. This study recruited 34 subjects to conduct vehicle experiments using an illuminationmeter, eye tracker, Smarter Eye and OBD to measure the illumination, eye movement charac-teristics, driving trajectory, and speed while driving in a tunnel exit. A questionnaire was used toinvestigate drivers’ subjective feelings while driving. The change trend of each indicator in thearea near the tunnel exit was analyzed, and the relationships among the light environment, driverphysiology, driving behavior, and driver psychology were explored. The psychological andphysiological inconsistency...
In this paper, the causes of frequent traffic accidents at the exits of highway tunnels are inves-tigated. This study recruited 34 subjects to conduct vehicle experiments using an illuminationmeter, eye tracker, Smarter Eye and OBD to measure the illumination, eye movement charac-teristics, driving trajectory, and speed while driving in a tunnel exit. A questionnaire was used toinvestigate drivers’ subjective feelings while driving. The change trend of each indicator in thearea near the tunnel exit was analyzed, and the relationships among the light environment, driverphysiology, driving behavior, and driver psychology were explored. The psychological andphysiological inconsistency phenomenon and abnormal acceleration behavior were observed atthe tunnel exit, and the slack effect was verified. As the tunnel exit area is driven through, withthe rapid increase in illumination, the rate of change of the driver’s pupil area increases, and thedistance between the vehicle and the tunnel sidewall increases. It is unreasonable that in a tunnelexit with a poor traffic environment, some drivers experience psychological slack and tend toincrease their speed and accelerate out of the tunnel. The slack effect is observed in most drivers,approximately 79.4% of the total. The white hole effect interferes with drivers’ vision and reducestheir ability to obtain traffic information. The slack effect reduces drivers’ attention and increasesvehicle speed. A coupling effect exists between the white hole and slack effects, which togetherthreaten traffic safety at the tunnel exit

Aggressiveness in Driving: A View From the Spanish Driver’s Perception
Francisco Alonso, Cristina Esteban, Andrea Serge, Mireia Faus
(2024). ArticleViolence and Victims. No.39(3)
Aggressiveness is a concerning issue due to its contribution to road crashes. This study aims to provide an overview on how Spanish drivers perceive aggressive driving, analyzing how this perception is linked to sociodemographic features. Thus, a cross-sectional study was designed, where 1,079 Spanish drivers took part in a telephone survey on aggressiveness’ importance, influence on traffic accidents, and frequency of performance. For data processing, Exploratory Data Analysis and Unifactorial Variance Analysis were conducted. The results showed that the perception of aggressive driving has a high valuation and a high-perceived risk, with differences for sex, age, and driving experience....

The results showed that the perception of aggressive driving has a high valuation and a high-perceived risk, with differences for sex, age, and driving experience. The findings suggest that some groups perceive more aggressiveness than others, meaning it is necessary to develop measures to reduce biases through a gender perspective.
