Listening to music while driving is a commonly adopted fatigue-coping strategy, yet its effectiveness has been explored in only limited number of studies. Here, we aim evaluate impact on passive task-related fatigue, as measured by set both objective and subjective indicators. A simulator experiment was conducted involving 60 participants, who completed 50-minute task monotonous highway scenario. The participants were divided into control group, which did not listen any music, an...
Given the benefits both individuals and collectivity have achieved over past few years thanks to Mobility-as-Service (MaaS) systems, various studies were conducted predict level of acceptance MaaS bundles from different territorial scales in countries. Results obtained are some cases contradictory. Literature is lacking study small-to-medium-sized urban contexts effects ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims understand (1) what factors influence respondents’ preferences between their...
In recent years, the adoption of teleworking has witnessed a significant surge, partly driven by COVID-19 pandemic. The existing literature suggests that its implementation elicited mixed reactions from workers; while some workers have expressed satisfaction with introduction, others prefer to work in traditional, on-site setting. Concurrently, there been growing interest Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) and an increase number companies offering such services. However, is limited research...
The consequences of a road crash for vulnerable users (VRUs), especially children, are more severe compared to car drivers; in addition, child mortality rates predominantly attributed crashes. With the recent advancements technology, virtual reality (VR) has emerged as valuable tool researching crash-related phenomena. This study's primary objective is validate use VR headset investigating pedestrian behavior. We conducted tests on 122 middle school subjecting them 15 scenarios involving...
In the literature, numerous studies examined pedestrian behavior within road environments, aiming to contribute injury prevention. Nevertheless, significant gaps remain, particularly concerning of young individuals. The present Virtual Reality experiment aimed at two main objectives: (1) understanding factors associated with likelihood people violating traffic laws and (2) identifying influencing their crossing speed, who faced various scenarios designed induce violations are administered 63...
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is often seen promising solution to address societal and environmental challenges. Despite the importance of quantifying its potential benefits, few previous works have focused on impacts environment, all them considered large cities. This study aims forecast diffusion MaaS in medium-sized city quantify consequent reduction pollutant emissions for commuting trips. Answers from mobility survey administered employees Municipality Padua (Italy) were used calibrate...
