Car dependency beyond land use: Can a standardized built environment indicator predict car use? by Eva Van Eenoo, Koos Fransen, Kobe Boussauw

“… In June 2019, the government of the Flemish Region (Belgium) launched the “mobility score,” a standardized built environment indicator that informs citizens in Flanders about the walking or cycling accessibility from their dwelling to a range of basic amenities and public transport stops. The development of the mobility score was developed to be a tool to raise awareness of the environmental impact of travel. …”

ID3RSNet: cross-subject driver drowsiness detection from raw single-channel EEG with an interpretable residual shrinkage network by Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, Zhongyuan Guo, Zhongyuan Guo, Sam Kwong

“…To address these issues, we propose a novel interpretable residual shrinkage network, namely, ID3RSNet, for cross-subject driver drowsiness detection using single-channel EEG signals. First, a base feature extractor is employed to extract the essential features of EEG frequencies; to enhance the discriminative feature learning ability, the residual shrinkage building unit with attention mechanism is adopted to perform adaptive feature recalibration and soft threshold denoising inside the residual network is further applied to achieve automatic feature extraction. …”
