Transitioning to the green circular economy: The age of VUCA

In a world defined by environmental degradation, economic volatility, and technological disruption, the circular economy (CE) has moved from a theoretical concept to a practical imperative.

Application of self-organising maps to analysed bike-sharing usage in large cities: A case study of Seville

Luis Perez-Pulido, Angel Mena-Nieto, Jose Carlos Vides

This study provides a quantitative analysis of the relationship between Seville’s public bicycle-sharing system usage and the city’s environmental conditions, employing an unsupervised artificial intelligence method. The dataset spans from 2018 to 2023 and combines operational service data (daily rentals, turnover) with weather data (temperature, precipitation, humidity), including the heat index as a measure of thermal comfort. The method is based on self-organising maps (SOM), implemented…
