abstract = {Local authorities have a strategic role in mitigating the environmental impacts of the transport sector. However, they struggle to integrate environmental issues into their decision-making processes, especially planning. In the European context of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan approach and Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs), this paper scrutinises three French localities to determine the current best practices and limitations for designing mobility plans and integrating environmental issues. Several limitations are identified: (1) limited expertise in defining and characterising actions and objectives, which complexifies plans' design, understanding, and monitoring; (2) a lack of a framework to conduct long-term quantitative environmental assessments and to use the results to influence decision effectively; and (3) monitoring processes are barely described in the documents, and the planning horizon where objectives are defined is not in sync with the indicators' mandatory evaluation period. This French case study thus reveals that European planning practices must be further analysed and improved to deal with the rising environmental concerns, e.g. through an operational framework to design mobility plans with effective integration of environmental issues.},

abstract = {Urban mobility contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and comes with negative social impacts for various groups, such as limited accessibility to opportunity or basic services. Transitions towards sustainable and people-centred urban mobility systems are paramount. Yet, this is accompanied by various challenges. Complex urban systems are accompanied by high uncertainties (e.g., technological progress, demographics, climate change) which are currently not well integrated. Possible solutions originate from design, policymaking, and innovation, with a widespread disconnection due to non-compatible methods. This paper presents a method to improve the ability to design future urban mobility systems by integrating different approaches for modelling what the future could be and who could be the users. The research question is how diverse future user needs can be integrated in design processes for urban mobility systems. The proposed scenario-based design and personas allows to create data-driven proto-personas?a set of archetypical users with assigned characteristics and behaviours?test their validity, derive distributions across geographical areas, and transform them for different 2030 scenarios. This serves as input to create full personas and synthetic populations as intermediary design objects for the collaboration of designers and simulation experts. The methodology is exemplarily applied in the context of Paris. It contributes to urban mobility solution design that is more aware of future uncertainty and diverse needs of users, therefore, better capable to respond to today's challenges. The approach is replicable with open data and accessible source code: https://github.com/TjarkGall/proto-persona-clustering.},

abstract = {Serious games (SGs) offer an engaging format for teaching industrial engineering (IE) methodologies. IE methodologies involve people following a process in a set of conditions to design, improve and install systems, which are easily scripted into gameplay. The scholarship has proposed co-design approaches for teachers and SG designers. However, teachers are not always ready to engage, and designers can readily create SG elements rapidly alone. We propose a co-design framework to distinguish their roles and four tools for them to better embed relevant expertise in the SG design process. A first tool is a domain decomposition model, which helps teachers create the knowledge repository for an IE methodology. Then, a specification vector is provided to define clear learning objectives. The third tool is a mapping table that inspires designers building gaming elements based on the learning objectives. The final tool is a verification table that helps check whether the learning experience offered by a SG is aligned with its learning objectives. A game on innovation management was designed that adopts the co-design framework. It was tested in three sessions with 23 players, resulting in a playful learning experience .},

abstract = {Grâce à l'évolution des matériaux et des techniques en dentisterie, mettant en avant l'intégration croissante de la technologie numérique, les prothèses obtenues par CFAO remplacent celles issues de méthodes dites conventionnelles. Bien que cette évolution vers l'intégration numérique, améliore la précision et l'efficacité dans la production, celle-ci soulève aussi des inquiétudes quant à ses impacts environnementaux, notamment en termes de consommation de ressources, de gestion des déchets et d'émissions polluantes. L'évaluation des impacts environnementaux des prothèses obtenues par voie numérique constitue donc un enjeu majeur pour l'industrie dentaire.
Les méthodes d'évaluation environnementale, notamment l'Analyse de Cycle de Vie, qui quantifie les impacts environnementaux à chaque étape du cycle de vie des prothèses (extraction des matières premières, transport, fabrication, utilisation, fin de vie) sont mises en ?uvre dans cette étude. Selon la littérature, le processus de transformation des matériaux prothétiques nécessite d'importantes quantités d'eau et sont énergivores. La fabrication des prothèses en cabinet ou en laboratoire génère également des déchets dont la gestion est souvent négligée par les praticiens. Aussi, les prothèses en fin de vie sont généralement mises en décharge, sans qu'aucune filière de retraitement ne soit prévue pour le moment. L'étude se concentre sur l'un des biomatériaux de restauration parmi les plus utilisés : vitrocéramique au disilicate de lithium.
Une note sera attribuée aux prothèses dentaires dans le cadre de l'existence d'un index DM durable. Cette étude souligne l'importance d'intégrer ces évaluations environnementales dans les processus décisionnels des professionnels de la santé dentaire et propose des axes d'amélioration destinés aux industriels et praticiens afin de promouvoir des pratiques respectueuses de l'environnement et d'encourager une dentisterie plus durable.},

abstract = {Local authorities are tasked to manage mobility in their area of influence. They usually rely on mobility planning to define their long-term strategy to move towards more sustainable mobility. However, the integration of environmental issues into planning remains poorly addressed by scholars and a hindrance for local authorities. One reason highlighted by the literature is the lack of quantitative ex-ante evaluations of the plans. The proposition of the paper is a Quantitative Strategic Environmental Assessment model (QSEA) that helps define the local authorities' strategy and validate the plan objectives.
The QSEA model characterises residents' mobility in all municipalities It assesses the cumulative distance travelled by cars and twenty environmental indicators relative to pollutant emissions and energy consumption, including indirect life cycle impacts. Moreover, the QSEA model: is based on accessible public data; reflects the density of the area; includes a description of the car fleet. The application to one representative French case (Metz Metropolis) highlights the sensitivity of distance travelled to periods of the week and density; the importance of indirect impacts due to energy supply and vehicles. This work is replicable to other metropolises while setting bases for longer term evaluations.},
