Important new study by the @doughnuteconomics.bsky.social team in @nature.com finding that "the richest 20% of nations, with 15% of the global population, contribute more than 40% of annual ecological overshoot" doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Interesting-looking new article into how social practices in the football industry are flight-intensive.

There's been much research on how that's the case within academia, but I feel like we've been overlooking other sectors... doi.org/10.1080/2331...

No I meant more like why did we 10 years ago expect the transport system to change radically because of AVs and 10 years later basically nothing has changed because of that?

Help colleagues!

Does anyone have good references on how in the transport sector we tend to fall prey to the "hype cycle" and keep having unrealistic expectations that new technologies will "change everything" or even "solve everything" in our sector?

After exploiting the Italian navy support to the flotilla for electoral purposes in a local election, Giorgia Meloni made the bold move of washing her hands of the matter and, as is now her habit, sitting back and doing nothing except accusing everyone of shady dealings.
Giorgia Meloni
@GiorgiaMeloni

I read with astonishment the words of the Flotilla that accuses me of considering "a danger" unarmed civilians and ships loaded with aid. 

The truth is simple: those aids can be delivered without risks through the safe channels already set up. Insisting on wanting to force a naval blockade means making oneself -knowingly or not- instruments of those who want to blow up every possibility of a ceasefire. 

Therefore, spare us the lessons in morality on peace if your goal is escalation. And do not exploit the civilian population of Gaza if you are not truly interested in their fate.

I was very sorry to hear about Oliver Schwedes' passing today

He was my main contact person during my time as a guest-PhD student at TU Berlin in 2011-2012 and I remember him as a kind and professional man

I enjoyed reading his original research contributions on transport policy through the years

Oliver Schwedes hat uns gezeigt, dass Verkehrspolitik mehr ist als Infrastruktur und Technik. Er hat sie als ein Spiegelbild gesellschaftlicher Machtverhältnisse verstanden und uns ermutigt, diese Macht zu hinterfragen.

Hearing reports that TRB is censoring annual meeting content. Authors are receiving a "Notice of Non-Selection" when notified that their papers were not sent out for review. Esp shitty for students who submitted work on Aug 1 only to wait two months for no reviews. Shameful behavior by TRB.

Ein DRITTEL weniger Verkehrstote durch Tempo120 auf Autobahnen 😮 Bahnbrechende neue Studie von Maike Metz-Peeters @ruhr-uni-bochum.de

➡️ Unfälle mit Schwerverletzten ↘️ 26%
➡️ Verkehrstote ↘️ 35%
➡️ Unfallkosten ↘️ 216 Mio. € jährlich
➡️ tatsächliche Effekte ggf. höher

Studie der Ruhr-Universität Bochum: Bei Tempo 120 gäbe es ein Drittel weniger Verkehrstote
Ein Tempolimit würde die Unfälle mit Schwerverletzten laut einer Studie um 26 Prozent senken, die Zahl der Verkehrstoten sogar um 35 Prozent. Die Einsparung von Krankheitskosten wäre enorm.

Clearly, these are just the first steps in that direction, but it gives us a place to start, which is great. Hopefully much research will follow suit.

And I was impressed by how the authors handled and brought together the literature, which is so disparate and siloed!

What Marlin & co-authors accomplish here is something I've banged my head against repeatedly in my career (how to quantify minimum mobility needs).

I've always brushed it aside as "too difficult" but always hoped someone smarter than me would do it. They have!

This is an absolutely brilliant paper that I can only recommend to all those interested in transport poverty/equity but also in sustainable transport/climate, and on how to reconcile the two.

I can only hope that it will have the impact it deserve

The Italianisation of UK politics reaches new levels..

Let's see if the UK's political elite will take up with gusto a very Italian habit: hammering new generations as "slackers" and "unmotivated", when all evidence shows that it is much harder for them than it ever was for those doing the talking

Transportation research is under threat. The Transportation Research Board is canceling contracts, restructuring committees, and signaling that it will censor work presented at its annual meeting.
