Description

Over 70% of EU citizens live in cities and this produces around 23% of all greenhouse gas emissions from transport. In order to ensure the adoption of strategies related to sustainable and intelligent mobility, interurban and urban mobility must become more sustainable, intelligent and healthy.

In this way, it is necessary to intervene on urban planning and mobility actions (promoting the spread of SUMPs and new transport infrastructures and services) but also on modal choices and therefore on travel habits (relating to users and therefore to transport demand).

These strategies aim to contribute to the EU’s greenhouse gas reduction targets as set out in the climate law (including -55% by 2030) improve transport and mobility to, in and around cities, as well as improve the efficiency of goods and home deliveries.

In order to make urban transport resilient, environmentally friendly and energy efficient, it is also necessary to identify zero-emission solutions not only for mobility but also for urban logistics (also by integrating sustainable urban logistics plans (SULP) within the SUMP framework).

To support this, it is necessary to provide for an acceleration of digitization and innovation by incorporating urban mobility into the work on the supply and processing of commercially sensitive data for multimodal digital mobility services such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and on a common European space for mobility data to facilitate access and sharing of mobility data. All this will allow for a greater spread of “Climate-neutral” and “Smart Cities” in the coming years.

The workshop focuses on theoretical and practical  overview of the development of mobility aspects  and possible outcomes on urban and non-urban context.

In particular, it is based on the development of studies on the opportunities and changes produced in urban areas on both demand and supply of transport and logistics.

The objective of this workshop is to bring researchers (scientific computing and applications in all fields of science, engineering, technology, economics, law and social sciences) as well as qualified professionals working on basic and applied sciences to present, compare and discuss research progress, applications and achievements and to design future perspectives of “new urban mobility”. This workshop stimulates the presentation of thoughtful insights by presenting original interdisciplinary research results and case studies on the relevant topic.

Significant progress has been made in the last decades with the adoption of shared mobility, the improvement of vehicle power supply and the promotion of walking and micro mobility for short distances, challenges still remain on the nature of changes on mobility considering also the recent pandemic. This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different scientific communities dealing with urban mobility planning and design, land use and infrastructure from engineering, psychological and social, economic and legal perspectives, in order to focus on the evolution of alternative transport modes that serve the objectives of sustainable urban mobility. The workshop focuses on the treatment of various case studies related to trends in the urban transport and mobility sector before, during and after the pandemic with a focus on evaluation methods and developments.

Following topics are of interests to the workshop:

  • Sustainable urban mobility planning (SUMP) and sustainable urban logistics plans (SULP)
  • Decarbonization strategies, sustainable and resilient mobility development (models and principles applied in illustrative case studies, including reports on local practices, international thematic experiences, innovations in regional and national legislation).
  • Analysis of the economic and social aspects of transport and logistics system.
  • Urban planning, sustainability, infrastructural and social challenges (social inclusion, territorial cooperation, planning for resilient communities, land use changes, participatory planning processes, and urban environment)
  • E-commerce and logistics last-mile
  • Electric and hybrid mobility
  • Smart cities
  • Application of microsimulation in sustainable traffic planning and neutral cities

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop NEWMOB welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed.

Engineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Description

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an upheaval in daily lifestyles and interpersonal dynamics, affecting the psychosocial well-being of the entire community. Health emergencies, such as the spread of epidemics, can cause significant stress and anxiety; this is even more understandable in light of the specific characteristics of the current pandemic and the restrictive measures deliberately adopted to deal with it.

COVID-19 has significantly affected urban mobility. Many people have reduced their travel due to local restrictions and have preferred to abandon public transport. The urban planning sector has felt the effects of the pandemic and has recognised the need of social distance in public transport. Road users tended to revert to use private vehicles for long distance travels, or they tended to use walking, cycling and micromobility for short distance trips. Cities and local authorities have organised themselves to create a range of interventions to rehabilitate or redesign walking, cycling and micromobility infrastructures in order to reduce car use and achieve sustainable mobility with zero-emission. In many countries, transport planners and policy makers have aimed to introduce a guideline for these sustainable travel modes. On the other hand, the pandemic period has not only changed daily travel behaviour but also has altered the travel demand for commercial needs. For instance, there has been an increase in e-commerce activities.

Regarding to these impacts of COVID-19 on the urban mobility, this workshop focuses on the psycho-social aspects of the pandemic, and possible outcomes on urban mobility for pre- and post-pandemic phases. The objective of this workshop is to bring researchers (scientific computing and applications in all fields of science, engineering, technology, economics, law and social sciences) as well as qualified professionals to present, compare and discuss their research progress, applications and achievements. This workshop stimulates the presentation of thoughtful insights by presenting original interdisciplinary research results and case studies on the relevant topic.

The current COVID-19 pandemic event is promoting actions aimed at defining a new sustainable and resilient mobility. Although significant progress has been made in the last decades, thanks to the adoption of shared mobility, the improvement of the electric power supply of vehicles and the promotion of walking and micro mobility for short distances electric mobility, challenges still remain on the nature of changes on mobility during the post COVID-19 era.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different scientific communities dealing with urban mobility, land uses and infrastructure from the engineering, psychological and social, economic and legal points of view in order to focus on the evolution of alternative transport modes that serve the goals of sustainable urban mobility.

The workshop focuses on the treatment of various case studies related to the trends of urban transport and mobility sector before, during and after the pandemic with particular attention to evaluation methods and developments.

Following topics are of interests to the workshop:

  • Sustainable and resilient mobility development (models and principles applied in illustrative case studies, including reports on local practices, international thematic experiences, innovations in regional and national legislation).
  • Analysis of the economic and social aspects of post COVID-19 transport
  • Urban planning, sustainability, infrastructural and social challenges (social inclusion, territorial cooperation, planning for resilient communities, land use changes, participatory planning processes, and urban environment)
  • Comparison before, during and post COVID-19 mobility scenarios
  • Post-pandemic transport supply and demand analysis

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop PSYCHE welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed.

Description

Configurational analysis refers to a set of techniques departing from graph theory to investigate topological properties of spatial systems on various scales. It allows to link configurational analytical results to social, economic and cognitive factors of cities and people. Physical, social, economic and cognitive relationships are all intertwined and the configuration of a city allows to investigate these. It is a descriptive way of understanding how spatial networks work to facilitate movement patterns, co-presence and social capital.

In the context of various urban challenges, configurational analysis allows to analyse spatial and interrelated properties and can be useful for scenario development and scenario testing of the urban layout.

Configurational analysis complements accessibility approaches through the understanding of the centrality of streets, street segments or crossing of streets in connection to their functionality and located/embedded functions. As a result, we may obtain a comprehensive grasp of how urban systems work across scales. The configurational analysis has the extra benefit of being a systemic approach that allows to identify real-world challenges and investigate these in-depth. Spatial configurative approaches allow to evaluate the role that each space plays in the overall configuration of a system, as a whole or in its parts.

Configurative analysis connects to the discourse on sustainable cities, resilient cities, smart cities, healthy cities, or the 15-minute city. It allows to investigate current spatial systems and further develop and test spatial scenarios as guidelines into the future.

The CA CITIES 2022 workshop welcomes contributions from the fields of geography, urbanism, urban analytics, environmental engineers, computer sciences and related fields. Contributions are aimed at proposing novel insights into theory, method and case studies that allow to enhance the debate for following topics and themes:

 

Themes and topics of the workshop:

  • Configurational analysis for cities
  • Sustainable and successful cities
  • Resilient cities
  • Smart cities
  • Healthy cities
  • City of short distances
  • Growing and shrinking cities

Description

The purpose of this workshop is to gather contributions on criteria, approaches, methodologies, and tools for ensuring and enhancing our cities’ sustainability and livability, as well as the well-being of their inhabitants via action on transport infrastructures.

Numerous cities are already making significant strides toward improved hardware for social urban ecosystem and innovative projects and research are providing a new “vision” of a smart city and illuminating how new technologies and approaches applied to transport infrastructures can contribute significantly to the evolution of cities. The quality and type of road surface, the sensors to traffic and road control, the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITSs), the new form of micro-mobility and accessibility can greatly improve lifestyle, economy and efficiency of smart city and mobility.

Furthermore, in the Covid-19 era, rethinking public space and urban mobility becomes necessary in order to create a resilient environment to Covid and thus address its negative impact: social exclusion, loss of social relationships, risky human activities in closed spaces and densely populated areas, inhibition of economic and commercial activities.

Urban streets must be defined more broadly: the purposes of urban areas must include the improvement of citizens needs and perceptions. A new vision, also focused on high-tech features, rethink these places as relational spaces. The urban spaces environment evolves into a “digital ecosystem”: communication, information and cognitive function have a crucial role in distribution of pedestrian and traffic flow, considering urban space and streets not exclusively as a physical frame. Individuals might be walkers, drivers, bus-passengers or cyclists and they all have different needs, abilities and purposes; hence, the urban environment has to accommodate human diversity.

The transformation of urban streets into smart, green, sustainable, inclusive and safe spaces for people and city users in general is one of the most critical acts for improving the quality of life of the city.

Focusing on “Transport Infrastructures for Smart Cities”, this workshop may explore (but is not limited) these relevant issues:

  • Urban inclusive design for urban spaces
  • Greenways planning·and design
  • Recycled and reused materials ·
  • Alternative and multifunctional materials
  • Human factors affecting road design
  • Stormwater management with green streets·
  • Safer and more resilient mobility·
  • Street design for emergency responds·
  • Circular economy applied to transport infrastructures
  • Transport Infrastructures for connected and autonomous mobility
  • Sensors smart grid for mobility and road management system
  • Sustainable infrastructures and green pavement·
  • Traffic management and safety
  • Infrastructures energetic impact and mitigation·
  • Intelligent Transport Systems and info mobility
  • Innovative technologies and materials to mitigate heat islands, improve air quality and water management
  • The future view of road design

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop TISC welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed.

Engineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Description

The purpose of the “USAM” workshop is to enhance discussions on the criteria and applications, methodologies and tools useful for identifying, evaluating, planning and designing inclusive, diverse and accessibility for all. Universal accessibility or ‘access for all’ is a key component of achieving sustainable development. Conventional transport and land use planning seek an improvement of accessibility without directly serving the real needs of individuals and groups. This leads to issues of transport disadvantage and mobility inequality that translates to lack of access or ability to access key functions and hampering development of social opportunities. These inequalities can manifest in fundamental forms such as lack of access to employment, education or services. Inequalities can also be more insidious such as perceived lack of safety by certain user groups due to their socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity and income levels) that prevent them from accessing parts of their cities and regions.

As transport networks have become increasingly complex and dynamic, intermodality and users specific schemes and policies are needed. The concept of universal accessibility is important for the realisation of urban space that is legitimate, vital and serves a wider demographic. This supports the realisation of Sustainable Development Goals 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and 5 (Gender equality). The workshop welcomes all interpretations of universal accessibility from exploration of the physical infrastructure,  psychological and cognitive accessibility and perceive and real safety of diverse user groups. The latest generation ITS technologies, such as innovative flexible services and real-time users’ information, Internet of Things, augmented reality, virtual reality and smart roads offers new paths of explorations. The widespread availability of user information and data is also another aspect to for further explorations.

Focusing on inclusive, diverse and universal accessibility, this workshop invites critical exploration (but not limited to) the following issues:

  1. Studying and recognizing the specificities and differences between the various user groups, identifying needs, opportunities and abilities and, challenging the ‘one size fits all’ approach of current transport policies;
  2. Analysis of spatial conditions necessary for design and creation of spaces, strategies and measures to promote universal accessibility;
  3. Tools and methods for integrated approaches for decision making to ensure spatial quality of public spaces, level of safety and security, contrasting urban degradation and how foster a comprehensive regeneration of urban spaces according to universal accessibility criteria;
  4. Supporting public system strategies in order to guarantee an optimal use of resources for the creation of overall present and future value in local communities;
  5. Promoting social inclusion and raising people’s well-being and autonomy also through the development of knowledge, methodologies, technological tools and advanced automation techniques.

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop USAM welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed.

Engineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Keywords: Accessibility, Mobilities, Safety, Urban space, Cities, Augmented reality, Virtual reality, Accessibility design, Cultural tourism accessibility, ITS, Innovative flexible services, Real-time information, Big-data.

Description

Invention of smart cities is rapidly influencing the processes of urban development. This shift and the consequent impact in many areas (population growth, mobility, energy, healthcare, technology, culture, etc.) have motivated public administrators and stakeholders to foresee, plan, and integrate the existing facilities of cities and communities in order to improve individual and collective well-being.
These new ongoing processes aim to facilitate good urban strategies, policies, and short- and long-term actions, by triggering greater economic, social, and environmental sustainability.

Focusing on urban government and smart city inventiveness, this workshop may critically explore (but is not limited) these relevant issues.

  • How to expand the knowledge of the political machinery that is behind the conceptualisation, implementation, and development of so-called smart cities.
  • How can we govern current and future urban trends, enhancing the dynamic synergies between the material and immaterial data of a city (big data, IoT/IoE, sensor networks, blockchain, etc.)
  • What are the specifics in the development of smart cities in European countries and beyond
  • How can we govern the urban and regional relationships without compromising urban-land synergies (between the city and the territory)
  • How to investigate appropriate governance models and tools in order to trigger virtuous behaviours, suitable in dynamic cities, and how to balance the new tools based on IT and the classical governance tools.
  • How to reflect the behavioural economics in development of smart cities and co-creation and co-production of public services.
  • How and if ‘smart city policies’ have an impact on the city and regional economies and make cities competitive at the national and international levels.
  • Reflect on the relations between advance technology (ICT in particular) and human – place relations in the current urban environment
  • How can we govern the urban and regional relationships between advanced technology and smart city metamorphosis (competitiveness, cohesion, conservation, resilience…)
  • Reflect on the relations between advance technology and the hyper strategic planning in the smart city

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the above mentined issues.
Engineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Keywords: Smart cities, Smart governance, Open Data, Urban growth, Participation, Big Data, IoT/IoE, Sustainability, Hyper Strategic Planning, Competitiveness, Cohesion, Conservation, Urban and Regional Planning.

Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected.

Description

Development and territorial cohesion of island regions embrace tricky planning and policy issues that are closely related to the inherent structural problems such fragmented places exhibit. Dealing with these issues implies the need to feature, comprehend and properly manage island territories in a holistic and integrated way, taking into consideration both their spectacular and valuable natural and cultural assets, as well as the physical barriers and their impacts on the future development pathways of insular communities.
In handling islands’ inefficiencies but also prospects, this workshop aims to get insight into the strengths but also the structural weaknesses of various types of island regions; and explore the potential of technological developments and their applications for effectively handling such inefficiencies in these, largely neglected, European territories.
Focusing on the main strengths and weaknesses of insular territories as well as the current technological developments and their potential for coping with islands’ development lag, the concept of “Smart Islands” is explored by critically focusing on (but not limited to) the following issues:

[1]     Exploration of current national and international initiatives, knowledge and practice on the topic of smart islands’ development.
[2]     Identification of strengths and structural weaknesses of various types of island regions.
[3]     Exploration of the use of technological advances for establishing strong links among productive sectors in insular communities and creating value chains as a driving force for adding value to the economy and society of island territories.
[4]     Potential smart applications for serving environmental, societal and sectoral needs and goals of island regions, with special emphasis on smart governance and spatial data management for place-based decision-making and monitoring of spatial dynamics in island contexts.
[5]     Integrated participatory planning in island regions as essential tool for setting up effective strategies and related policy paths for sustainable and resilient resource management and more promising future development trails of island communities.
[6]     Delineation of practical or theoretical guidelines or strategies for establishing smartness in “fragile” insular spatial contexts, also in terms of mobility and distributive logistics.
[7]     Consideration of technology at the service of islands’ sustainability, resilience, cultural development, citizens’ empowerment and engagement, strengthening of identity and social ties, etc.

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the above mentined issues.
Engineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Keywords: Smart Islands, Smart Cities, Smart Regions, Smart governance, Smart Communities, Urban and regional growth, Open Data, Big Data, Cultural Heritage Management, Distributive Logistics, Intelligent Transport Systems, Sustainability, Competitiveness, Cohesion, Conservation, Urban and Regional Planning.

Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected.

Description

The development and success of cities have always been inextricably linked to innovation. Thanks to technologies, urban systems and infrastructures can be constantly adapted to the emerging needs and the challenge of today is to ensure that technologies are truly capable of providing an effective response to the problems of citizens and businesses. Current schemes therefore need to adapt to new conditions: it is necessary to rethink the city, its logics, its traditional structures. Smart cities are an effective response to these emerging needs, made crucial by global, rapid and unavoidable dynamics.

However, the smart city, based on the assumptions of the digital economy, implies the constant connection between technological tools and people in a digital network. This connection in turn determines the collection and use of data in considerable quantities (big data) through the information available on the Internet about the people who usually surf online. If on the one hand the creation of big data can be useful to satisfy the needs of citizens, on the other it can have a negative side: the big data collected can be used abusively without having the right or even violating the privacy of individuals and going against the European guidelines on privacy as GDPR. The explosion of the Internet of things and 24-hour connection has made this issue more central than ever. All is done online is de facto tracked. Information on user’s data (preferences, behavior, etc.) could be collected in personal and collective profiles, trajectories, trend, etc.. All this data and information that consumer users produce with the use of IT represent the basis of what Zuboff (2019) defines as “Surveillance Capitalism” and represent a valuable good as they are processed and sold at auction by “data brokers” can generate both economic and political revenues. This phenomenon, paraphrasing the best term known in urban planning of “land grabbing” (exploitation of the land according to business logic), can be defined as digital grabbing.

By focusing on these premises, the SCIDAM workshop welcomes contributions aimed at proposing novel methods and visions, theoretical approaches and case studies connecting technology with the sustainable city debate.

Focus of contributions may include (but is not limited):

 

  • Smart cities and IoT, IoE
  • Data gathering and management: Open Data, Big Data
  • City dashboards and decision support systems
  • Data Analytics for decision support
  • User data management, profiling
  • Space and energy use;
  • Data-informed design and planning;
  • Online and informal economies;
  • Urban morphogenesis;
  • Theoretical and methodological development;
  • Urban policy making.

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the SCIDAM workshop welcomes contributions on urban studies, engineering, spatial planning, and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed. Engineers, Urban and Regional Planners, Architects, Geographers and Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

 

Keywords: Smart cities, spatial planning, ICT, urban and regional planning, Open Data, Big Data, IoT, IoE, data analytics, decision support systems.

Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification of this decision will take place on April 2021.
