Product-Service System (PSS) as well as discussing the main reasons to use an AV over a traditional car. Data were collected based on secondary (academic and grey literature) and validated with AVs experts on France, Belgium, and Brazil. The results show the arrival of AVs would include different ownership forms; free time for users (no …
Due to the structural constraints of wheelchairs for users with motor disabilities, it is essential to understand and ensure their proper functioning for the quality of life of these users. The main objective of this study is to analyze the stresses and displacements in a wheelchair using the finite element method to evaluate its functional …

The autonomous mobility field is changing worldwide, mainly due to new technologies developed by different actors. However, there are still open challenges related to vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2I), as well as vehicle localization, a crucial topic in navigation. In this scope, this document reports the study of visible light positioning and communication …
The necessity to obtain the localization on the terrestrial globe surface allowed the expansion and emergence of primordial technologies to contemporary engineering, especially in the context of Intelligent Transportation Systems. Several systems have been based on the information obtained by GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) for localization. However, these kinds of systems demonstrate structural limitations, …
This study aims at drawing new value curves for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) over Traditional Vehicles when considering AVs as a Product-Service System (PSS) as well as discussing the main reasons to use an AV over a traditional car. Data were collected based on secondary (academic and grey literature) and validated with AVs experts on France, …
Following the increase of automation levels in personal and public vehicles in the last decades, this note aims to discuss interdisciplinary investigation required to address criminal liability in case of an accident involving autonomous vehicles. Lawyers need from technicians definitions of automation levels. Each automation level requests differently the driver generating the need for related …
The outstanding features of a vehicle do not include great modifications for nearly 100 years, as the same to the major car manufacturers’ business models (BM). Recent service’s platforms related to urban mobility use, mostly, the sharing economy, resulting in disruptive innovations. This offer to the users new experiences in services (e.g., Uber) which provides …
Vehicular accidents caused by driver drowsiness involve about 7,000 people/year in Brazil, only on federal highways, and cause psychic damage and traumatic stresses for both the victims involved and their families. Drowsiness is characterized by reduced level of vigilance and concentration, which are essential during driving activity. Due to this adversity, many applications of drowsiness …
