Interesting new report by the German Environment Agency on tourism & long-distance travel, showing (among other things) that the distance travelled by plane was over the pre-COVID peak in 2023 already umweltbundesamt.de/publikatione...

Overall I was struck by the similarities between what happens in the road transport sector and the other sectors examined - certainly demonstrates the value of bringing these sectors together! (End)

I was one of the contributing authors to Chapter 3, which focuses on the role of actors in the coal, utilities and transport sectors.

Transport here includes not just road transport / the automotive industry (on which I provided some input) but also shipping and aviation.

“We assume that car use is an incompressible liquid that must be routed somewhere. But it’s more more like a gas that fills whatever space it is given.”

One day - *one day* - a UK newspaper will do a similar count of motor vehicles speeding inside a 20mph zone.
In 60 minutes I saw 172 cyclists run these lights – it’s a matter of time before they kill someone The offenders included Lime bike riders, school children and a woman in high-heeled boots

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

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. 22:10-30 Sept 25-306K Views

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.

Paris celebrated the opening of its 300th “school street”: landscaped & pedestrianized or semi-pedestrianized blocks situated in front of schools. Most have been completed since 2020.
Paris passe le cap des 300 rues piétonnes près des écoles pour être « plus accueillante aux enfants »
La municipalité, qui a organisé samedi une fête dédiée, tire un bilan positif de ces espaces piétonnisés aux abords des établissements scola

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.
