Optimized type 2 fuzzy logic control for low-speed vehicle pedal pressing automation using hybrid spiral sine cosine algorithm by Azrul Azim, Abdullah Hashim, Nor Maniha, Abdul Ghani, Salmiah, Ahmad, Mohd Ruzaini, Hashim, Noor Zirwatul Ahlam, Naharuddin, Addie, Irawan

“…Physical modeling and simulation were done in Simscape MATLAB, which provides an opportunity for modeling and visual description of the actuator system's relationship with the dynamics of the car. The results presented in this paper prove the fact that the analyzed Type 2 FLC optimized by the SSCA method performs better than the traditional Type 1 FLC in terms of the key metrics, with improvements of 32.4242% in overshoot, 0.364 seconds in settling time, and a reduction of 0.002009 in steady-state error at 2 km/h reference speed. …”

Mind the perception gap: The impact of bus rapid transit infrastructure on travelers’ perceptions of affective subjective well-being by Navarrete-Hernandez, Pablo, Christopher Zegras, P

“…We find that: (1) compared to regular bus services, a ‘standard BRT’ consisting of a painted bus lane and the addition of a cycle lane significantly enhances SWB; (2) an ‘SWB infrastructure’ option that replaces car parking with improvements for cyclists and pedestrians and adds street amenities further enhances SWB; and, (3) the BRT infrastructure elements most effective in enhancing affective SWB for users of all transport modes are the addition of green spaces, improvement of crosswalks, and provision of more space for pedestrians and cyclists. …”

Active mobility device parking characteristics at MRT stations by Ng, Yi Shien

“…With a growing population, scarce land with limited road expansion capacity, and increasing public expectations for convenience in travel, active mobility devices (AMDs – personally-owned and shared bicycles as well as personal mobility devices like electric scooters and skateboards) are playing an important role in Singapore’s efforts to work towards a “car-lite” nation. Shared bicycles grew in popularity in 2017 and reached the peak of 100,000 shared bicycles in early 2018. …”
