Summary: This study investigates whether driving status can be considered a proxy of successful ageing (SA) and identifies determinants associated with driving status in the 65+. The results show that 23.8% of drivers are classified as successful agers, compared to only 6.8% of non-drivers. The logistic model suggests that SA is associated with driver status. Driving reflects elders' independence, cognitive ability, and a means to maintain social interactions.

Summary: This study investigates the microbe-host interactions in a tropical urchin species under climate change scenarios through a 4-year multigenerational experiment. The results show that each life stage and generation is associated with a specific microbiome, and although some changes occur under predicted climate conditions for 2050 and 2100, the life stage specificity is preserved. Furthermore, a climate-mediated parental effect on the offspring microbiome is observed. These findings highlight the potential for cross-generational impacts of climate change on the microbiome of tropical invertebrates.

Summary: The introduction of autonomous vehicles in the future will reshape the transportation system, with potential benefits in terms of travel time reduction and increased throughput. However, the coexistence of autonomous vehicles and regular vehicles on the same road may lead to a significant decrease in road capacity utilization. Strategic planning involving dedicated lanes for autonomous vehicles appears to be the preferred solution to harness the positive impacts of autonomous vehicles and enhance overall consumer surplus.

Summary: The increasing share of electric bicycles results in faster travel speeds for bicycles, additional consumer surplus benefits, impacts on infrastructure design, and an increase in substitution of car and public transport trips with bicycle trips. It is important to consider the changing composition of bicycle types when evaluating the impact of a bicycle network, as not accounting for the share of electric bicycles can lead to underestimating benefits. Expanding cycle superhighways and increasing electric bicycle shares can lead to more car trips being substituted with bicycle trips, with potential significant effects on network connectivity.

Summary: The increasing interest in electric vehicle (EV) charging situation has led to the development of models that approximate the distribution of State-of-Charge (SoC) levels for EVs. These models help understand charging needs and provide crucial information for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications. The study suggests that a full electrification of the vehicle fleet could stress the power grid but also offers potential for deploying V2G as a mechanism to dampen high-demand effects.

Summary: In this paper, the dynamics of cycling demand for the population of Denmark are investigated. Using pseudopanels based on large-scale cross-sectional data, the temporal stability of cycling demand preferences for different age cohorts in combination with residential city sizes is analyzed. The study reveals several empirical findings, including the decline of overall cycling demand in Denmark, mainly driven by a shrinking cycling population rather than a decrease in trip distances for existing cyclists, particularly among younger generations residing outside the larger cities. These findings can be relevant to mitigate similar long-term changes in other countries.

Summary: This article investigates the impact of the implementation of a high-class metro line in Copenhagen on the usage of free-floating car sharing (FFCS). The findings suggest that FFCS usage and public transport are mainly substitutes and compete for the same customer base, as indicated by the decrease in FFCS usage in areas well-served by the new metro line. However, there are also signs of complementarity between the two modes in certain local areas.

Summary: This paper examines the potential of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology for enhancing first and last mile services for a light-rail station. The findings indicate that, for a high-frequency light-rail feeder system, fixed routing is the preferred option, but demand-responsive services can be as effective as fixed routing in off-peak hours. A combination of the two services could be beneficial in certain contexts. Urban sprawl has an impact on the performance of the system, with demand-responsive services becoming relatively better when urban sprawl increases, while fixed routing remains superior across most key-performance indicators. Cost-benefit analysis is employed to assess the performance of the different services.

Summary: This paper addresses the problem of expanding bicycle networks over time. The expansion is based on societal cost-benefit performance, considering the system-wide effects from previous expansions. Due to non-linear travel time benefits and the complexity of networks and planning, conventional cost-benefit analysis is not feasible. To overcome this, a reverse geographical mapping approach is introduced, enabling a more detailed geographical planning breakdown and a stringent optimization approach. Mathematical integer programs are proposed to solve the problem. The results show significant improvements in net present value and benefit-cost ratio compared to previous findings, underscoring the importance of optimal prioritization in bicycle network expansions.

Summary: This paper introduces a probabilistic modelling approach to analyze the impact of various cost-based EV charging strategies on the power distribution network (PDN) using smart meter data and an agent-based EV simulator. The study finds that EV adoption poses challenges related to cable and transformer overloading in the low voltage distribution network (LVDN), with varying impacts across different LVDN areas and charging scenarios. Time-of-use (ToU)-based and single-day cost-minimized charging can be beneficial for LVDNs with moderate EV adoption rates, whereas multiple-day optimization can lead to severe congestion. The study highlights the importance of preventing charging synchronization and the potential implications of cost-based smart charging on the PDN.

Summary: In this article, the authors deviate from linear relationships in causal models by using neural autoregressive density estimators to estimate causal effects. They demonstrate that this approach can retrieve causal effects from non-linear systems without explicitly modeling interactions between variables, and they include confidence bands using non-parametric bootstrap. The authors also explore scenarios deviating from ideal causal effect estimation settings, such as poor data support or unobserved confounders.
