Présentation du projet NoiseCapture dans le cadre du séminaire Immersion Sciences 2018, organisé conjointement par l’Académiede Rennes, la région Bretagne et le CNRS.

Le principal objectif de cette présente communication est de déterminer les conséquences de phénomènes complexes tel le couplage de la thermo- et photo-oxydation. Pour cette étude, nous nous sommes penchés sur le cas d'une gaine de polyéthylène chargée de noir de carbone et stabilisée avec un mélange classique d'antioxydants synergiques (Irganox 1010 + Irgafos 168), et ce après un vieillissement naturel d'un quart de siècle dans deux conditions d'ensoleillement distinctes: en présence et en l'absence de soleil (endroit sombre). The main objective of the present communication was to determine the consequences of such a complex thermo-photo-oxidation process in a polyethylene-carbon black sheath, stabilised with a classical synergetic antioxidant mixture (Irganox 1010 + Irgafos 168), after natural ageing during a quarter of century in two distinct sunshine conditions: in a presence and absence of sun (dark location).

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / ERC Grant Agreement n. [313847] "World Seastems".; Globalisation and World Cities Research Bulletin 429; Maritime flows of merchant vessels can be seen as the only information allowing to map and analyze large-scale economic interactions at city level and on a world scale since the late nineteenth century with accuracy. This article maps the main trading routes among world regions and ranks port cities according to their connectivity in the global shipping network. Main results confirm the growing size and connectivity of the network alongside major local and regional shifts in terms of port growth trajectories. The research also discusses the resilience of certain ports to such dynamics.

Rapport de recherche; This report aims to present the final results of the descriptive statistical, in-depth and risk analysis performed within the first TRACE Work Package, 'WP1-Road Users', in order to identify the main problems and the magnitude of these problems related to accident causation and risk factors for the following five different road user groups: passenger car drivers; powered two wheelers riders; van, bus and truck drivers; pedestrian and cyclists and, finally, elderly people and gender classification. The different analysis (descriptive, in-depth and risk) of each of these five tasks has been performed using the available European accident databases within TRACE (national, in-depth and exposure databases). The main output of this report are (from each road user point of view): - A summary of the descriptive analysis done in a previous report (D1.1) with the main characteristics of the accidents gathered in different extensive databases, from the road user's point of view. - The understanding and identification of the accident causes by means of micro level analyses. - The estimation of the risk of being involved in an accident for these five user categories. Keyword list: Descriptive analysis, in-depth databases, risk factors, accident causation, human function failure, road user groups, passenger cars, powered two wheelers, buses, trucks, vans, pedestrians, cyclists, elderly people, gender

Rapport de recherche; This summary report presents the main results of WP3 "Types of Factors" of the TRACE Project. The work as performed in the tasks 3.1 (accident related factors), 3.2 (sociological and cultural factors), 3.3 (trip-related factors), and 3.4 (driving-task associated factors) and presented in the Deliverables 3.1 to 3.4 and an additional INTERNAL TRACE Reports (Collection of Sub-Reports) is summarized and discussed. The objectives of analysing traffic accident causation : from a factor's point of view while taking traditional views into account ; on different levels ; by using statistic methods for existing databases as provided by the WP3 Partners and ; by using new (developed in WP5 of the TRACE project) methods on new case analysis ; in order to gain new knowledge on accident causation was possible to reach. The scope of the identified key aspects as found by the Partners in their work for the relevance in EU27 is discussed. In accordance, even further, appropriate suggestions for prevention of traffic accidents can be derived.

On-demand Ride-Hailing services (RHs) now play an increasing role within many cities around the world. RHs might increase traffic congestion, vehicle ownership and access inequalities. RHs pose significant challenges for policymakers, and addressing these issues requires detailed information about RHs use. But research on RHs services, especially in African cities, remains scarce. In this respect, this research presents original data on the use and users of RHs in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, based on the results of an ad hoc survey designed by the author. This paper provides insights into who the users of RHs are, and their motivations for using RHs. Results show that RHs are extensively used in Nairobi (across all socio-economic groups, on a regular basis and way more for work-related trips than in many Western countries). In Nairobi, where only a minority of urban dweller have access to an individual motorized mode of transport, using RHs is gradually becoming necessary to access urban amenities. Nairobi’s inhabitants are facing a growing RHs dependency, which calls in return to public regulation.

The main objectives of TRACE WP5 'Human factors' deliverables are: . To support a better standardization of accident analysis in Europe on a scientific background, . To provide operational models and methodological classification grids dealing with 'human factors' aspects involved in road accidents, . To promote a comprehensive analysis of the involvement of human beings, going further than the usual 'user-orientated causal analysis' often limited at establishing the driver 'at fault' and without searching for the background reasons of the problems met par road users. Such objectives involve analyzing accidents as the symptom of the difficulties met by drivers in certain driving situations, and as a revelator of their needs in help. Two questions have to be asked in order to progress in the understanding of accident causation: 1) What are precisely and operationally the human failures in accidents? But also: 2) What are the reasons for these human failures? Keeping in mind that these reasons are of multiple natures and combine most of the time to produce the final event. By so doing, the definition of typical scenarios of 'human error' production can open to the definition of more appropriate countermeasures, fitted to human needs.

_; This proposal adopts a holistic approach to strategic transport investment by discussing the wider economic impacts (WEIs) analysis method in terms of several dominant and emerging methods. The WEIs analysis goes beyond the effects captured in a standard cost-benefit analysis (CBA). A CBA addresses the market for transport services and infrastructure access but neglects the wider impacts on other markets. These wider impacts usually relate to agglomeration, market power, and the behavioral adaptions of firms and households. The high uncertainty in land use changes indicates that WEIs tend to occur in different forms on multiple spatial scales, varying by place and time. Additionally, some activities, such as education, have no direct market value, but may indirectly contribute to the overall economic output and human capital development in cities and regions. Given that the conventional elasticity methods are not goal oriented, it is important to ensure that the WEIs analysis accounts for the stakeholder-specific costs and benefits. Assuming that it is possible to consider all WEIs through theoretical models, major efforts should focus on establishing and maintaining appropriate methodologies and tools. The social and environmental data needed to address biodiversity issues should also be improved and promoted. Complementary to the WEIs, understanding how the behavior of agents changes in response to the new transport options will help clarify the long-term implications of transportation. This will suggest new strategies (territorial appropriation), approaches/ techniques to feasibility, and ?place-based? interrelations, that is, specific interrelations in places. This last aspect is especially important in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected and will likely change transportation behaviors and transport demand in the dynamic future.
