• Abstract: Mobility and transport, by their nature, involve crowds and require the coordination of multiple stakeholders - such as policy-makers, planners, transport operators, and the travelers themselves. However, traditional approaches have been focused on time savings, proposing to users solutions that include the shortest or fastest paths. We argue that this approach towards travel time value is not centered on a traveler's perspective. To date, very few works have mined data from crowds of travelers to test the efficacy and efficiency of novel mobility paradigms. In this paper, we build upon a different paradigm of worthwhile time in which travelers can use their travel time for other activities; we present a new dataset, which contains data about travelers and their journeys, collected from a dedicated mobile application. Each trip contains multi-faceted information: from the transport mode, through its evaluation, to the positive and negative experience factors. To showcase this new dataset's potential, we also present a use case, which compares corresponding trip legs with different transport modes, studying experience factors that negatively impact users using cycling and public transport as alternatives to cars. We conclude by discussing other application domains and research opportunities enabled by the dataset.

  There is a growing need to predict when people will decide to use different travel modes with an emphasis on environmentally friendly modes. In a growing number of cases machine learning methods are used to predict travel mode choices given respondent and journey features. We propose an architecture of a software platform performing the data fusion combining data documenting journeys with the features calculated to summarise transport options.

  Hand pointing and eye gaze have been extensively investigated in automotive applications for object selection and referencing. Existing outside-the-vehicle referencing methods focus on a static situation, whereas the situation in a moving vehicle is highly dynamic and subject to safety-critical constraints. We investigate the specific characteristics of each modality and the interaction between them when used in the task of referencing outside objects.
