The fear of infections is leading to enormously declining passen- ger numbers and a rather restrained use of subways, trams and buses. This poses a huge challenge to the public transport sector. There are worries that individual car traffic could emerge from this crisis as the big winner. Yet the challenges in this crisis can become opportunities! The public sector has shown that it is able to maintain its services as a reliable and inclusive means of sustainable transport. Also in order to achieve the climate protec- tion targets of the Paris Agreement and the EU by 2030 and 2050 respectively, public transport needs to be an even stronger backbone for sustainable mo- bility systems in our cities and regions. Government authorities and mobility planners in our cities must stick to their long-term goals for the development of sustainable mobility systems and further strengthen the positive develop- ments during the crisis, e.g. the increasing use of bicycles, and supplement them with a modern public sustainable transport system. With the upcoming decade to 2030, the ambitious goals of the Green Deal and the implementation of the Clean Vehicle Directive are providing impor- tant push factors from the European Commission for us, and we are glad that the trolleybuses will be part of this movement. As trolleybuses are considered as clean vehicles or even zero-emission vehicles if equipped with a battery and thus capable of in-motion charging. To this end, we worked together with our project partners over the last three years in the trolley:2.0 project developing solutions for energy-efficient and smart trolleybus systems. We proved that modern trolleybus systems can build such a strong backbone, needed for zero-emission public trans- port systems in European cities: Including concepts of in-motion-charging, as a central element of a smart and sustainable trolley network, and in- novative solutions for shared and multi-purpose charging infrastructure, lightweight-constructions of a new midi-trolleybus type, automated wiring technology, concepts for the integration of renewable energy sources and tools for advanced cost-benefit-analyses. With this brochure we are highlighting our major outcomes and deep insights of the project. We summarise our research and demonstrations’ outcomes and provide lessons learned during the project lifetime. Enjoy reading!

  • Some Practical Information on the Dixit Camp “XML/TEI”, 14Th-20Th
    Some practical information on the DiXiT Camp “XML/TEI”, 14 th -20 th Sept. 2014 *** Location *** The camp will take place in Graz at the location of the Centre for Information Modelling – Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities in the so called “Wall building”. The Wall is a small campus of the University of Graz (Karl-Franzens-Universität) in the quarter St. Leonhard in the South-East of town. Address: Merangasse 70, 8010 Graz (http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at). All teaching will take place in room number 0090 – called “Kienzl” - on the ground floor; signs will indicate the way. *** Travelling to Graz *** Graz has its own – very small and cozy and not very well served – airport: http://www.flughafen-graz.at/en/home.html. Some of you might find a direct flight; the others will have to take connecting flights for arriving in Graz. There is also the possibility to take a flight to Vienna and then to go on to Graz by bus and train (about 3 hours). *** From airport to city center *** From the airport you can reach Graz by train or bus (see timetable http://www.flughafen- graz.at/en/terminal/anreise-parken/bus-bahn.html - each 2.10 €). It is more convenient for you to take the train because it leaves you at the central train station in Graz from where you can take a bus, a tramline or a taxi (5 minutes) to the hotels I’ll recommend to you. From central station to hotels at Lendplatz by bus: 58 and 63 to “Lendplatz”. From central station to Hotel Mariahilf: tramlines 1 (direction Mariatrost), 3 (Krenngasse), 6 (St.

  • Linz and Graz
    The Austrian Trip 2017 – Linz and Graz From Durham to Linz I’ve visited Vienna twice recently and Innsbruck, the Tirol and Vorarlberg many years ago, but I have never been to central Austria, the cities of Linz and Graz and the states of Oberösterreich (Upper Austria) and Steiermark (Styria). This trip, in May 2017, was to rectify that. It would also provide the opportunity to visit the Salzkammergut, the scenic Austrian lake district. By coincidence there are also a few obscure railway lines in the area, which were built into the plans, and the beer is meant to be pretty good. The trip commences with a cock-up. I had worked out the best route was to travel via Prague, booked an early Sunday morning flight from Edinburgh and a return flight to Newcastle, sorted out and booked trains to and from Austria then looked for an Edinburgh hotel. The plan was to have a few pints in Edinburgh, an early night, then a 0400 bus out to the airport. However, even the Travelodge was charging £194 for a single room – I couldn’t work out why until I discovered it was the weekend of European Rugby Champions Cup Final. Plan B was to travel up later in the day, have a couple of pints until the pubs shut at 0100 and have a few hours sleep on a bench at the airport. In the event, every seat in the airport was taken by people with the same idea so I had to sit on a patch of floor.

Tänä päivänä maailmalla ei kuitenkaan riitä olla hyvä jossain, vaan kovassa kilpailussa pärjäävät ne, jotka onnistuvat kehittämään jatkuvasti uutta ja olemaan kaikilla mittakaavoilla askeleen muita edellä. Tätä varten täytyy tuntea hy- vin ala, jolla kilpailee, ja vielä paremmin ne, joiden kanssa kilpailee. Tässä työssä on ni- mensä mukaisesti tutkittu Suomen kilpailuasemaa Pohjoismaihin sekä Itävaltaan, ja pyritty kartoittamaan sitä, millä tutkittavilla osa-alueilla Suomi eroaa edukseen tai mikä tekee sen asemasta epäedullisen. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehitys on jaettu kolmeen osaan, ja itse työ toteutettiin laa- dullisena tutkimuksena, jonka kulkua määritti suurelta osin tutkimuksen alkuvaiheessa to- teutettu haastattelu. Teorialuvussa on kerrottu yleisesti kongressin järjestämiseen liittyvää tietoa sekä esitelty alan toimijoita. Teorian jälkeen on grafiikan avulla hahmoteltu maa- sekä kaupunkikohtaista sijoitusta ja järjestettyjen kongressien määrää, minkä

To demonstrate the feasibility and usability of such an assessment technique, the task of purchasing a public transportation ticket from a modern ticket vending machine in Kraków, Poland was evaluated. The test participants relatively easily operated the machine with time taken to purchase a ticket ranging from 54 s for foreigners not familiar with the equipment to 29 s for local inhabitants. Even though the number of gazes recorded for the foreigners group was 2.4 times higher than for the local test participants, the fixation times were almost equal. Faulty or delayed operation of the payment terminal was a meaningful equipment issue encountered by eight test participants. The study demonstrated that the operation of the analysed ticket vending machine should not cause Citation: Pashkevich, A.; Szarata, A.; much trouble to anyone.
