Durante los días 3 a 5 de junio se celebró la duodécima edición del Young Researchers Seminar YRS2025 en Bergisch Gladbach y Colonia, Alemania, organizado por Federal Highway and Transport Research Institute – BASt (Bundesanstalt für Straßen- und Verkehrswesen).
YRS ofrece la oportunidad a una red de jóvenes investigadores en transporte, procedentes de los miembros de ECTRI, FEHRL, FERSI, EURNEX, HUMANIST, así como de organizaciones de investigación de Estados Unidos, de reunirse e interactuar durante el seminario de tres días. En este espacio, los jóvenes investigadores pueden mejorar sus habilidades de presentación en la comunicación científica, tanto escrita como oral, mediante un enfoque tutorial.
Investigadores doctorandos de TRANSyT-UPM presentaron sus trabajos:
- Emerging technologies in new mobility services: Opportunities and challenges from stakeholders’ perspectives. Diana Naranjo, Juan Nicolás González, Laura Garrido, Thais Rangel y José Manuel Vassallo.
- Strategic conversations with public transport operators: exploring collaboration towards future urban transport systems. Alberto Rojas-Rivero, Miguel L. Navarro Ligero, Mª Eugenia López Lambas y Julio A. Soria-Lara.
- Assessing the Socioeconomic Impacts of an Inductive Electric Road System (ERS) for Decarbonizing Freight Transport. Rubén Flores Gandur, Jose Manuel Vassallo y Natalia Sobrino.
Los ganadores a los premios al mejor artículo y presentación fueron:
- Chen Song, Université Gustave Eiffel – “Investigating the water evaporation behaviour of porous asphalt for optimising its cooling potential in urban areas”
- Alberto Rojas Rivero, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid – “Strategic conversations with public transport operators: exploring collaboration towards future urban transport systems”
- Ola Qasseer, KTI – “Monocentric or polycentric? The role of public transport networks in shaping cities”
