Tactical Urbanism Interventions and Estimation of OD Matrices
Tactical urbanism is an innovative urban design approach consisting of interim street transformations enabling public authorities and administrations to temporarily requalify deteriorated or misused urban spots to be regenerated and reinstated into their original purposes. Such an approach is characterized by limited financial resource usage and streamlined bureaucratic procedures and requires the involvement of the public, especially locals or usual users of the area, who can have their say during the project design and the later assessment phases.

Economic Prospects of  Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles
The economic implications of public transportation powered by hydrogen fuel cell has been investigated. Due to the long working period and the high number of daily driven kilometers, the public transportation sector, especially the taxis sector, is considered one of the leading contributors to the energy and environmental problems related to transportation sector. Therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate the expected implications and feasibility of using hydrogen fuel cell technology as a new alternative in taxi fleets.

Electric Vehicle Travel by Considering Preferences of Users
The dual-carbon strategy advocates a green, environmentally friendly, and low-carbon lifestyle. In the field of transportation, electric vehicles (EVs) have been regarded as an effective solution to reduce carbon emissions and to conserve energy. Developing a reasonable charging guidance scheme for users is a feasible way to solve problems, such as the range anxiety of EV users, and has a great application value for the promotion of EVs in the future. In the whole travel charging process, the preference habits of EV users directly affect their choice of charging stations. Therefore, it is necessary to consider users’ preferences in charging guidance strategies.

An Event-Based Signal Controller
Developing appropriate signal timing strategies is a primary concern in traffic signal control; however, professionals are constrained by predefined controller options. Existing signal controllers in North America adhere to National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards with ring-barrier control (RBC) design.

Urban Road Traffic Spatiotemporal State Estimation
The road traffic state is usually analyzed from a temporal and macroscopic perspective; however, traffic flow parameters, such as density and spacing, can explain the evolution of traffic states from the microscopic perspective and the spatial distribution of vehicles in lanes.

FYFT M-series Unmanned Blimp
FYFT M-series unmanned blimps are Chinese UAVs developed by Qingdao Co., Ltd. Fei-Yu (meaning Flying Universe) Aviation Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (FYFT, 青岛飞宇有限公司), and these unmanned blimps are named after their respective length. For example: if an M4 series blimp is 11 meter long, then it is named M4-1100, because 11 meter is equal to 1100 millimeter. M-series unmanned blimps are intended for military and para-military use with M stands for Military. The greatest difference between M-series and other unmanned blimps for civilian use such as S-series unmanned blimps for aerial survey is that for military application, data link is added to provide real-time or near real-time transmission of information gathered so troops can respond in a timely manner, as opposed to civilian versions where information is downloaded and evaluated after the UAVs have landed.

Human-Likeness of Artificial Driver Models
Several applications of artificially modeled drivers, such as autonomous vehicles (AVs) or surrounding traffic in driving simulations, aim to provide not only functional but also human-like behavior. The development of human-like AVs is expected to improve the interaction between AVs and humans in traffic, whereas, in a driving simulation, the objective is to create realistic replicas of real driving scenarios to investigate various research questions under safe and reproducible conditions. There is no unique definition of human-likeness thus various related research areas such as psychology or computer science provide different approaches to quantify, define, or evaluate behavior.

COVID-19 Spread Prevention by Minimising Overcrowding
COVID-19 has become a pandemic which has resulted in measures being taken for the health and safety of people. The spreading of this disease is particularly evident in indoor spaces, which tend to get overcrowded with people. One such place is the airport where a plethora of passengers gather in common places, such as coffee shops and duty-free shops as well as toilets and gates. Guiding the passengers to less overcrowded places within the airport may be a solution to reduce disease spread.
