MCI considers contextual integrity (CI) in tandem with societal preferences and individual level preferences, which is captured using demographic data. Therefore, it captures the individual-level, group-level, and societal-level factors that drive peoples’ preferences regarding AV privacy. Empirical insights into the relationships among the social forces captured at these three levels are drawn from survey data collected in South Korea. The findings reveal that although social goals and demographic variables initially show some association, the introduction of CI parameters significantly diminishes this relationship, highlighting the primacy of informational contexts in shaping AV privacy attitudes.

SUE investigations followed the Quality Level standards defined in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 38–22 “Standard Guideline for investigating and documenting existing utilities.” A composite map was developed by overlaying the traditional and SUE investigation datasets. An analysis of the linear footage mapped revealed significant under-documentation in the traditional records, known as One Call records, with SUE investigations designating and mapping 160% more utility infrastructure across all asset types. Positional accuracy metrics further exposed deficiencies in traditional mapping. Only 32% of utility footage analyzed aligned within 2 feet (ft) when comparing One Call records to SUE investigation data. Moreover, about 21% of utilities in One Call records deviated by over 20 ft compared to the SUE data. These findings demonstrate the necessity of rigorous SUE practices to mitigate risks from inaccurate and incomplete utility data.

This paper presents a contested logistics model that utilizes network science and Geographic Information System (GIS) to evaluate the robustness and resilience of strategic transportation networks under various disruption scenarios. By integrating GIS data to model logistics networks, simulating disruptions, and quantifying their impacts, we identified vulnerabilities in US power projection routes and assessed the resilience and robustness of highways and railways.

Globally, vertical and horizontal techniques, such as speed humps, speed cushions, roundabouts and chicanes are used to reduce vehicle speeds and enhance road safety. While effective in achieving these goals, traditional traffic calming devices can have negative impacts on vehicles and the environment. To address these issues, a Curved Speed Hump (CSH) is introduced as a novel traffic calming solution specifically designed for Indian road conditions. CSH consists of a main speed hump, which is raised and curved structure positioned within a lane and complemented by an additional speed hump, adjacent to it. Motorists have the option to navigate along the curved trajectory, effectively moderating their speeds while mitigating the drawbacks typically associated with conventional vertical measures. This study outlines the CSHs objectives and geometric configuration. Through series of interconnected experimental field trials, including preliminary testing, driver perception studies, and real-world deployment. The final optimized design parameters obtained from the studies, features a radius of curvature (R) of the main CSH of 15 m, with lengths (L) of main CSH at 5 m and 6 m. Objective speed (V<sub>b</sub>) for these parameters range from 20 km/h to 25 km/h and 30 km/h to 35 km/h, respectively.

Therefore, this study seeks to better understand Southeastern consumer perceptions of EVs to lay a foundation for future exploration of this group and to identify communication implications.

Findings show that environmental concerns were largely absent from the conversation, and consumers instead co-created EVs’ value in relation to affordability and economic gain.
