The integration of Full Electric Vehicles (FEVs) into the smart city ecosystem is an essential step towards achieving sustainable urban mobility. This study presents a comprehensive mobility network model designed to predict and optimize the energy supply for FEVs within smart cities. The model integrates advanced components such as a Charge Statio...

The rapid urbanization observed over recent decades has led to important challenges in urban mobility, notably traffic congestion, pollution, and inefficient energy consumption. Concurrently, the rise in electric vehicles (EVs) offers a promising shift towards sustainable urban transport yet introduces complexities such as the need for extensive ch...

Las estadísticas espaciales transversales y longitudinales, así como los modelos econométricos espaciotemporales, se basan en datos referenciados espacial y temporalmente. Las unidades administrativas como ciudades, comarcas o provincias proporcionan fuentes de datos estables, permitiendo que los modelos combinen estadísticas recopiladas en diferen...

In this paper, we propose a novel demand-side management (DSM) system designed to optimize electric vehicle (EV) charging at public stations using model predictive control (MPC). The system adjusts to real-time grid conditions, electricity prices, and user preferences, providing a dynamic approach to energy distribution in smart city infrastructure...

The R package sc2sc offers fundamental tools for transferring information between census sections and postal codes in Spain, based on the cartography of these geographic segmentations. However, certain aspects for improvement have been identified. This document presents a substantial improvement to the package, optimizing the cp2sc function, which...

Georeferenced data are crucial for addressing societal spatial challenges, as most corporate and governmental information is location-compatible. However, many open-source solutions lack automation in geocoding while ensuring quality. This study evaluates the functionalities of various R packages and their integration with external APIs for convert...

Worldwide, Likert scales are used to measure ideology of both public opinion and individual voters, with the utilization of a self-assessment numerical scale as the most widely accepted tool, despite the multifaceted nature of the concept. However, in contrast to this prevailing consensus, there is a lack of agreement regarding what particular scal...

This note illustrates some of the new roles that armed forces are taking on in developed countries, highlighting the structure, capabilities, and missions developed by the Spanish Military Emergency Unit (UME). The note describes some of these new roles assumed by UME, such as its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and shows, using official tempora...

This article introduces a dataset that captures relevant information about the living conditions, feelings, and habits of residents in Spain during 99 days of home confinement. This and other measures, imposed by the Government of Spain to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on the population, have brought with them important economic, labour, and...

2020 was a year marked by COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Since the official beginning of the pandemic (March 2020), the authorities in Spain have been imposing significant restrictions (mainly on mobility) to stop the spread of the disease. In October 2020, the research group GIPEyOP (Elections and Public Opinion Re...

The COVID-19 pandemic and the fear experienced by some of the population, along with the lack of mobility due to the restrictions imposed, has modified the social behaviour of Spaniards. This has had a significant effect on the hospitality sector, viewed as being an economic and social driver in Spain. From the analysis of data collected in two of...

This paper introduces the SEA database (acronym for Spanish Electoral Archive). SEA brings together the most complete public repository available to date on Spanish election outcomes. SEA holds all the results recorded from the electoral processes of General (1979–2019), Regional (1989–2021), Local (1979–2019) and European Parliamentary (1987–2019)...

La situación sanitaria actual ha obligado, en mayor o menor medida, a modificar nuestros hábitos y nuestras costumbres. El ámbito de la docencia universitaria no es una excepción y, en tal sentido, tanto instituciones como docentes han tenido que realizar un importante esfuerzo para garantizar que la educación universitaria siga siendo de calidad....
