Requirements Model of Sociotechnical Systems Simulator Architecture

To avoid any voluntary decisions it is desirable to examine the possible consequences that can be done by simulation. Unfortunately there is no unified methodology and technology for simulators designing. Above mentioned problem when development of each simulator has to be started from the scratches makes elaboration expensive and cumbersome. The article dealt with the way to joint understanding of simulators designing concept.

Technologies Sustainability Modeling

Nowadays practically every real system that reflects the objective reality, is of a sociotechnical nature. System is the result of collaboration of technical and social subsystems, as well as their symbiosis. The existence of a sociotechnical system is determined by the being of a digital society of technology and knowledge. Technology is one of the pillars of today’s society, so it’s important to predict which technologies will be accepted in society, which will be sustainable and in which of them it is worthwhile to invest. There are yet few validated methodologies that allow for predicting of the credible sustainability forecast of a new or existing technology. The article dealt with on system dynamics simulation based Integrated Acceptance and Sustainability Assessment Methodology (IASAM), which is one of the possible solutions that makes decision making easier for potential investors and policy planners.

Bicycle network construction and maintenance technology - VeloRouter (September 2016)

The European Commission Decision C (2015) 6776 established the specific European Transport Specific Programme implementing Horizon 2020, Part 11 “Smart, green and integrated transport”, which promotes using clean transport methods, one of which is cycling. Although the number of web tools for creating and sharing cycling routes is constantly increasing, their added value is low.
