#### **Anna Gran `a**

Anna Grana works in the Department of Engineering, University of Palermo, Italy. She received ` her PhD in Road, Airport and Railway Infrastructure Engineering from the University of Palermo, Italy, and currently she is a professor in Road, Railway and Airport Construction at the same university.

She participates in the editorial committees of journals and editorial series: since April 2022, she has been Associate Editor of *Transport* (Proceedings of the ICE); since 2012, she has been the Editor-in-Chief of the *Journal of Sustainable Development*; and she is the Review Editor of the international journal *Transportation and Transit Systems* (Frontiers in Built Environment). Since 2003, she has been a member of the Italian Society of Road Railway and Airport Infrastructures (SIIV).

She is a member of the International Scientific Advisory Board for the Priority Research Area: Smart cities and future mobility (Silesian University of Technology, Poland); she was invited by the Rector of the Silesian University of Technology, Professor Arkadiusz Mezyk PhD, DSc in January ˙ 2021.

She is a member of several research units in National Relevant Research Programs. Her research activity is demonstrated by more than 90 articles in journals, book chapters, or proceedings of national and international conferences. Anna Grana has participated in several congresses; in many cases, she ` was called for the presentation of her own papers. She won the SIIV Research Award for the best paper presented at the 2008 SIIV annual meeting.

Her fields of scientific interest include: the analysis of the risk associated with road traffic; the functional design of road geometry, with particular reference to non-signalized intersections and roundabouts; capacity modelling and environmental sustainability of transport infrastructures; and traffic microsimulation modelling. The themes of the analysis of the risk associated with road traffic cover a wide range of interests including: the preventive analysis of road safety; the safety and reliability of transport infrastructures (roads and intersections); crash analysis; and microscopic traffic simulation modelling.

#### **Margarida Coelho**

Prof. Margarida Coelho is Assistant Professor with Habilitation ("Agregac¸ao") of the ˜ Department of Mechanical Engineering and Vice-Director of the Centre for Mechanical Technology and Automation, University of Aveiro, Portugal. She is the Scientific Coordinator of the research team on Smart Mobility at the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Her research interests are: impacts of transportation systems (namely, traffic congestion, energy consumption, pollutant emissions, and road safety); connected and automated mobility; life cycle assessment; active modes; and decarbonization of ports. Margarida Coelho has more than 90 scientific papers published (or in press) in international journals (such as the *Sustainable Cities & Society, Applied Energy*, *International Journal of Hydrogen Energy*, *Science for Total Environment, Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, International Journal on Sustainable Transportation, Atmospheric Environment, and Transportation Research Record*, etc.), besides more than 150 other publications in book chapters and proceedings of scientific conferences. Margarida Coelho has had extensive participation in transport-related projects. She is the PI of R&D Projects funded by the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT) and the Luso-American Foundation / United States National Science Foundation. She is also a participating member in several projects funded by FCT, SUDOE, and INTERREG Europe Programmes; under the Interreg Projects CISMOB and PriMaaS, she has been involved in stakeholder community engagement regarding the penetration of ICT in transport (to tackle decarbonization objectives) as well as low-carbon mobility-as-service measures. She has already supervised 5 PhD students (6 other students are developing their PhD under her supervision) and more than 50 Master students. She was the Chairwoman of EWGT2021—EURO Working Group on Transportation Annual Meeting. She is a recognized Expert on Energy and Transportation by the Portuguese Association of Engineering, where she also serves as Vice-Coordinator of the Energy Commission.

#### **Paulo Fernandes**

Paulo Fernandes received his PhD in the Doctoral Programme in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aveiro in May 2017. His current research interests are: (1) road traffic emissions monitoring; (2) emissions, noise, and safety modelling; and (3) simulation and analysis of transport systems, active modes, and new mobility forms. Between 2017 and 2020, he worked as a post-doc researcher and further as an assistant researcher in the MobiWise project at the Centre for Mechanical Technology and Automation (TEMA). His main role consisted of supervising young research fellows with respect to traffic, noise, emissions, and safety modelling. He also worked at the DICA-VE project as junior researcher at TEMA in the management of activities from research fellows, namely emissions monitoring and modelling (2020 and 2021). After that, he was junior researcher at TEMA in the Driving2Driverless project in activities related to the cost–benefit analysis of shared, autonomous, and electric vehicles services (2021). Currently, he is a First-Level Doctorate Researcher at TEMA with his own scientific project entitled "IDRIVE: Incorporating Driving Volatility Information into a Rating system to Inform drivers about Vehicle Emission rates", which is centred on developing rating systems for NOx and PM emissions from Euro 6 vehicles. In addition to previous works and being a team member of several scientific projects such as @CRUiSE or InFLOWence, he collaborated in 2019 as a technical consultant in an audit of the energy used of the transport sector in Bartica, Guyana with the Instituto do Ambiente e Desenvolvimento in activities related to experimental survey design, energy analysis, and policy recommendations. In the context of cooperation with society, he participated as a member in the Mobility Plan of the University of Aveiro (concluded in January 2020) in the establishment and evaluation of measures for promoting soft modes and improving quality of life within the university campus. Additionally, he joined to the Organizing Committee of the EWGT2021:24th Euro Working Group on Transportation in September 2021. Between 2017 and 2021, he supervised four master's students in the Mechanical Engineering Integrated Master Course. He has published research works with 47 coauthors, demonstrating a solid disposition to establish inter-institutional collaborations. He has published 31 articles and 12 conference papers in SCOPUS-indexed journals (17 as the main corresponding author, a total of 328 citations, and h-index of 11), with some of them in the top 20 most-cited Transport (Transportation Research Part-D, Sustainable Cities and Society, Transportation Research Part-A), Environmental Science (Science of the Total Environment, Atmospheric Environment) and Engineering (Applied Energy) journals according to the Cite Score 2020 rank; 3 book chapters; and 16 papers in international transport conferences (IEEE, EWGT, World Conference on Transport Research and Transportation Research Board).
