Micromobility, such as electric scooters and electric bikes—an estimated US$300 billion global market by 2030—will accelerate electrification efforts and fundamentally change urban mobility patterns. However, the impacts of micromobility adoption on traffic congestion and sustainability remain unclear. Here we leverage advances in mobile geofencing...
As atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise and the consequences of climate change become increasingly destructive, engineers, scientists, and the broader population are now aware that climate change is a threat we can no longer avoid. Addressing climate change requires facing two interconnected challenges. The first is to rapidly...

Advocates for open access argue that people need scientific information, although they lack evidence for this. Using Google’s recently developed deep learning natural language processing model, which offers unrivalled comprehension of subtle differences in meaning, 1.6 million people downloading National Academies reports were classifi...
Problems of poor network interoperability in electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, where data about real-time usage or consumption is not easily shared across service providers, has plagued the widespread analysis of energy used for transportation. In this article, we present a high-resolution dataset of real-time EV charging transactions resolved...
The advent of larger machine learning (ML) models have improved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in various modeling tasks, ranging from computer vision to natural language. As ML models continue increasing in size, so does their respective energy consumption and computational requirements. However, the methods for tracking, reporting, and compa...
The increase in electric vehicles as a low‐carbon mobility option has driven interest from many workplaces and local governments to offer charging services for employees, customers and visitors. However, the lack of incentives to limit over‐consumption in shared charging resources has led to congestion issues. In this paper, we use high‐frequency d...
The transportation sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is a driver of adverse health effects globally. Increasingly, government policies have promoted the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) as a solution to mitigate GHG emissions. However, government analysts have failed to fully utilize consumer data in decisions r...
For a growing class of prediction problems, big data and machine learning (ML) analyses can greatly enhance our understanding of the effectiveness of public investments and public policy. However, the outputs of many ML models are often abstract and inaccessible to policy communities or the general public. In this article, we describe a hands-on te...
Mobile applications have become widely popular for their ability to access real-time information. In electric vehicle (EV) mobility, these applications are used by drivers to locate charging stations in public spaces, pay for charging transactions, and engage with other users. This activity generates a rich source of data about charging infrastruct...
By displacing gasoline and diesel fuels, electric cars and fleets reduce emissions from the transportation sector, thus offering important public health benefits. However, public confidence in the reliability of charging infrastructure remains a fundamental barrier to adoption. Using large-scale social data and machine-learning based on 12,720 elec...
For the well informed, taking actions to curb energy consumption from household appliances is uncomplicated. Now, research shows that simple information provision interventions can correct consumer misperceptions of the energy consumed by common appliances, offering hope to the rest of us.

Information programs are promising strategies to encourage investments in energy efficiency in commercial buildings. However, the realized effectiveness of these programs has not yet been estimated on a large scale. Here we take advantage of a large sample of monthly electricity consumption data for 178,777 commercial buildings in Los Angeles to an...
Little is known about the effect of message framing on conservation behavior over time. In a randomized controlled trial with residential households, we use advanced metering and information technologies to test how different messages about household energy use impact the dynamics of conservation behavior down to the appliance level. Our results, b...

We investigate the effectiveness of nonprice incentives to motivate conservation behavior. We test whether tailored information about environmental and health damages produces behavior change in the residential electricity sector. In a randomized controlled trial with real-time appliance-level energy metering over 8 mo, we find that en...

... Managing this transformation involves significant uncertainties (Lyons, 2016), and facing a range of aggregate impacts, such as carbon emissions, as well as a range of distributed impacts across different groups of people, such as accessibility or safety (Rodrigue, 2020). Similarly, previous research informs us that micromobility comes with a potential plethora of positive and negative implications (Asensio at al., 2022;Gössling, 2020;Li et al., 2022;Oeschger et al., 2020;Milakis et al., 2020;Petersen, 2019). Moreover, this transition relies on governance of commons (Nogueira et al., 2021;Ostrom, 1990Ostrom, , 2010, as steering and safeguarding done by multi-sector multi-layer actors, through the processes that involve policy, business and technology-related decisions (Docherty et al., 2018;Marsden & Reardon, 2017;Mladenović et al., 2020a;Rhodes, 1996). ...
... Therefore, besides traditional engineering skills, educational programs must also provide students and future leaders with the skills needed to face and tackle VUCA situations. Learning outcomes should echo the vision and competence to design systems that are resilient to utterly unstable and drastic events (Chester & Allenby, 2019;Clements, 2017;Martin et al., 2022). Implied are not only technical systems, but also engineering teams and their leaders. ...
... Furthermore, academies worldwide are developing considerable experience in bringing together the scientific community and public policy makers to inform knowledge-policy interfaces. And, given the findings that public support for a policy can be increased by communicating evidence for its effectiveness (Reynolds et al., 2020) and that many citizens regard academy outputs as a credible source of information (Hicks et al., 2022), academies and others in the scientific community can develop a useful public role to assess policy impact as well as drive policy formulation. National policy makers are sometimes hesitant to act if evidence for climate effects on health is not available for their own territory (Chersich & Wright, 2019). ...
... Existing charging stations may be modified to provide new functionality. Sustainable urban transportation is a system that is easy to use, safe to ride in, efficient to operate, and produces little or no pollution [7]. Green transportation has many benefits, including a lower carbon footprint and a return to an active and leisurely lifestyle [8]. ...
... In 2007, Blevis [8] coined the concept of Sustainable Interaction Design, emphasizing that sustainability should be a fundamental focus of interaction design. The focus on designing for sustainability has broadened to encompass energy usage (largely) [24,41,55,58,62,64,79], biodiversity [17,20,27,45,66], water usage [24,44], rising sea levels [7,65], waste [29], and food practices [21,38,39,52,59], to name a few. SHCI has sought to understand how technologies can influence and shape human behaviors through persuasive technologies [30]. ...
... (4) Solar PV systems at the workplace may provide free charging service for staff's EVs during the daytime [20], as long as charging facilities are properly designed to avoid charge point congestion [26] and ensure a high utilization rate [35]. Table 1 lists the details of typical workplace charging cases in the literature [36][37][38][39][40][41]. In addition to these real projects, researchers have focused on design optimization of workplace charging in recent years. ...
... As an example, the most important terms in the content of twelve national planning documents on AI were extracted and summarised using NLP approaches [72]. Such approaches enable applications to classify information and extract topics from policy documents [70], as well as to discover policy issues [73]. In addition, government services for citizens are frequently intricate and tied to a variety of requirements [2], which is why e-government is still acknowledged as a method for enhancing public services and the efficacy of public policies and partnerships [74]. ...
... In the present digital media art application procedure, using simulation technology to represent classic artistic effects has the advantage of producing scenes more quickly than other methods [3]. e current visual arts processing technologies and algorithms are not limited to single fixed-mode processing methods such as graph transformation, information extraction, and unit tracking but are increasingly integrated into artificial intelligence, expert systems, big data mining, and other processing modes that aim to analyze human behavior [4]. e greatest advantage brought by an effective visual processing technology is to obtain more and more detailed information under the same conditions [5]. ...
... Here, we understand as electrification that electric power is exploited for providing goods and services that conventionallythat is in the past as well as still todayrely on petro-based resources. This includes, for example, the use of electric vehicles for assuring (individual) mobility and transportation but also exploiting electric power for synthesis of chemicals [2,3]. The latter fits into the realm of established electrochemical synthesis and may lead to electrobiorefineries that provide chemicals as well as fuels from biomass or even CO 2 . ...
... Second, the governments could fund institutions, campaigners, and communicators to enhance the effects of intervention and public education. Implicitly, education could learn from behavioral science to implant heuristic knowledge into public cognition and attitude, as it has been suggested to be easier information to digest when it comes to complex knowledge (Asensio 2019;Marghetis et al. 2019). For example, simply providing information on the extent instead of specific numbers can better arouse risk perception (Table 6). ...
