Japan regards next-generation vehicles, including hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and fuel cell vehicles, as a key means of reducing carbon emissions from road transport. Four scenarios were proposed to predict the potential carbon emissions reduction of passenger car use in 2030: baseline, business-as-usual, government's target-based, and aggressive scenarios. Economic input–output life cycle assessment was used to evaluate potential CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, acidification, eutrophication, human toxicity, and photochemical oxidation associated with passenger cars. In this study, all environmental impacts were calculated using the multi-regional environmentally extended supply and use/input–output database by applying the CML 2001 impact assessment method. The findings indicate that PHEVs have the lowest CO<sub>2</sub> emissions per km traveled, followed by HEVs and BEVs. The prediction for carbon emissions from passenger cars shows that adopting electrified vehicles, such as HEVs, PHEVs, and BEVs could help decarbonize the passenger car sector. The population of vehicles, vehicle manufacturing, well-to-wheel cycle of fuel, and fuel economy will significantly contribute to CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Finally, this study recommends policies to steer Japan into achieving its goal of carbon neutrality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47059,"journal":{"name":"IATSS Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44690667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the association between an increase in the Japanese version of the ESS (JESS) scores and MVAs among Japanese male taxi drivers. The study participants were 1384 Japanese male taxi drivers. DS was assessed using the JESS, and the total JESS scores were categorized into quartile groups. MVA experience during the past five years was assessed using a self-administered questionnaire.

Thus, we found a significant association between an increase in JESS scores and MVAs among Japanese male taxi drivers after adjusting for potential confounders. Stratification by sleep duration and snoring status revealed a significant association among long sleepers and non-snorers. Our findings suggest that ESS evaluation methods be reconsidered in relation to MVA among commercial drivers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47059,"journal":{"name":"IATSS Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48246323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, differences in emissions have often been estimated based on the regional differences in the number of vehicles owned. Regional differences in mileage were estimated from the counts of the Origin and Destination Surveys in the Road Traffic Census. In this study, by utilizing the mileage data from the vehicle inspection certificate data, it was possible to reflect the differences in mileage per vehicle in detailed regional terms. The higher the population density, the smaller was the mileage per vehicle. Based on this, we calculated the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from passenger cars by municipality nationwide and estimated the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and population share by grid population density. In areas of 3000–10,000 persons/km<sup>2</sup>, which accounts for approximately 40% of Japan's population, emissions per person approximated the national average. However, in areas with 1000–3000 persons/km<sup>2</sup> (approximately 20% of the population), emissions per person were approximately 30% higher; while with 100–1000 persons/km<sup>2</sup> (approximately 1.5% of the population), they were approximately 70% higher; and with 10,000 persons/km<sup>2</sup> (approximately 25% of the population), they were approximately 70% lower.

The persistently high percentage of pedestrian fatalities at night in the U.S., as well as in the state of Louisiana, necessitates new research to supplement existing studies. This study utilized 10 years (2010–2019) of pedestrian fatal and severe injury crashes in Louisiana that occurred in the dark without streetlights to identify the associated crash patterns. The methodology is based on Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), an exploratory approach used to discover the association of multiple categorical variables from a crash dataset. The findings suggest that driver characteristics (age, gender, and physical condition), pedestrian action, pedestrian alcohol impairment, and physical settings (posted speed limit, location, and roadway type) have a substantial impact on pedestrian collisions at night without streetlights. Moreover, the obtained combination clouds of MCA reveal associations such as elderly pedestrian (>64 years) alcohol impairment resulting in fatalities, crashes in an open country location with a high posted speed limit, crashes involving pedestrians in dark clothing on high-speed (50–55 mph) roadways, alcohol-impaired driver involvement in crashes on two-way roads without physical separation, severe injury crashes at intersections, male pedestrian crashes on midblock locations during weekends, and young (15–24 years) female driver's involvement in crashes while pedestrians were walking against the traffic. Based on the findings, this research also suggests safety recommendations that can assist highway safety practitioners in determining appropriate countermeasures to reduce pedestrian crashes in the dark-no-streetlight condition.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47059,"journal":{"name":"IATSS Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43462112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is important to consider entire energy systems not only in the transport sector, but also in the energy supply sectors, including emission offset measures of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) under several conditions of energy supply and transport constraints.

It is because most current datasets with annotation are composed of daytime scenes and there are few datasets for adverse conditions especially in nighttime. A massive cost of human resources and time is required to collect large amounts of data with annotation. To deal with the upper problem, many image translation methods by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are proposed to generate realistic synthetic data. However, there is a significant limitation in traditional image translation methods. It is that generated images are inconsistent on semantic information to their original images. To handle this limitation, we propose an image translation with applying transfer learning to keep semantic information. There are two steps to train the proposed network. First, the segmentation network is trained on the source domain, i.e., daytime. After that, we transfer the pretrained segmentation weights to the encoder of generator and retrain only the decoder of GANs for day-to-night image translation.
