UK public want self-driving cars to be labelled
Nearly nine out of 10 (86%) people in the UK want self-driving vehicles to be labelled so they can be clearly distinguished from human-driven vehicles, according to a major new survey led by UCL researchers. The research team surveyed 4,860 members of the British public in late 2021 about their attitudes to self-driving vehicles.

Environmentally safe, frost-resistant coatings
Airports are busy, especially during the winter. As passengers wait to board, delays get longer when airplanes need to be dowsed with thousands of gallons of deicing fluids that help them fight the frigid winter. But as soon as the plane takes off, most of the liquid is gone from the surface of the aircraft and ends up polluting freshwater streams and lakes.

New U-M study assesses the impact of automation on long-haul trucking
As automated truck technology continues to be developed in the United States, there are still many questions about how the technology will be deployed and what its potential impacts will be on the long-haul trucking market. A new study by researchers at the University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon University assessed how and where automation might replace operator hours in long-haul trucking.

Scents and sensibility - how tourism may benefit from targeted use of scents to influence customers
Selective use of scents could encourage healthier eating or improve consumers- airline flight experiences The use of scents to generate a feel-good atmosphere is well established at tourist resorts, hotels and shops (and by cunning house sellers with the infamous baking bread and fresh coffee trick) but research shows the pandemic-hit industry would benefit from exploring a more targeted approach to scents to influence their customers and passengers.

Opinion: Cycle lanes blamed for urban congestion - here’s the reality
Congestion may initially increase if road space is reduced but it soon reverts back to normal as drivers make alternative arrangements, says Professor David Metz (UCL Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering).

Opinion: If we all choose the fastest mode of travel in a city, the whole city gets slower
If travellers behave selfishly there will be more congestion and everyone will end up taking longer to get where they need to be, argue postdoctoral researcher, Rafael Prieto Curiel (UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis) and Juan Pablo Orejuela from the University of Oxford.

Big Batteries on Wheels Can Deliver Zero-Emissions Rail While Securing the Grid
Berkeley Lab study shows how battery-electric trains can deliver environmental justice, cost-savings, and resilience to the U.S. Near elimination of air pollution from diesel-electric freight trains by 2025 is now possible by retrofitting them with battery tender cars.
