The work presented in this paper aims to reduce inequality, and give disabled people the tools to be integrated more effectively, reducing social exclusion, removing obstacles and barriers, and facilitating mobility and the use of technology. The work is planned to design a special healthcare collaborative network as the best solution for addressing the needs of the disabled self-care and health care community through the creation and implementation of an interconnected, electronic information infrastructure and adoption of open data standards.

Usually, these projects are complex and difficult to carry out. Human resources are, without doubt, one of the most essential key points in the success of such projects. Therefore, the role played by both internal staff and external consultants and professionals needs to be analysed and, based on this analysis, enabling methods and tools should be provided to the people involved in a project. This paper analyses some of the human aspects related to the application of engineering and integration projects in an enterprise, focusing on know-how and roles. This leads to the definition of human-related principles for the training of project developers and an eight steps approach to achieve them. It is hoped the paper will contribute to improving the efficiency, accuracy and reliability of enterprise projects. Based on the IE-GIP (Enterprise Integration–Business Processes Integrated Management, acronyms in Spanish) Proposal and its embedded CIMOSA (Computer Integrated Manufacturing for Open Systems Architecture) Models, these principles were applied and validated in a tile enterprise supported by a multimedia computer-training tool, called CILT (CIMOSA Learning Tool for Enterprise Integration).

The promotion of a sustainable and affordable urban transport contemplates the bicycle as a mean of transport. The reasons for analysing the cycling mobility in urban areas, has its origin in the confrontation with motorized vehicles, as a sustainable response to the environment. In this context of sustainable mobility, the research team has studied the use of bicycles in Mediterranean cities, specifically in coastal tourist areas. The present work shows the development of a mobility index oriented to the bicycle, transport that competes with the private vehicle. By means of a survey methodology, the research group proceeded to collect field data and the subsequent analysis of them, for the development of a mobility index adapted to bicycle mobility, and with possibilities to adapt to urban environments.

In this study we propose a home health care (HHC) routing and workforce scheduling algorithm, that considers a possibility of using electric bicycles instead of the currently used combination of public transport (buses) and walking. The coordination of aims, such the optimal allocation of care resources, the reduction of transport costs, sustainability and environmental awareness is tackled.

However, in 2014, 92% of the population lived in places where the World Health Organization Guidelines on air quality were not respected. Different projects and studies at European, national and local levels raise strategies to fight against atmospheric pollution through the control and reduction of primary emissions from the source. In this work, the data collection and valorization will be done both by direct observation of the researcher, and also totally automated by immovable systems installed in the urban area. With these measurements, the air quality in an urban environment will be analyzed, together with urban mobility developed in this area, in order to characterize the interactions between both variables. Finally, this work presents a proposal, made to the local authorities, on decision-making concerning urban logistics, mainly in the city center.

Based on file transfers, these networks respond to the requirements of collaborative processes. There is an effective need for a strategy of integration among the members of the network. In the ICT era, the collaborative company needs to reach and maintain agility in the dynamics of their collaborative processes. Within the frame of a collaborative network, the development of a web platform permits the growth of an area that integrates collaborative processes, in which several companies participate, each supplying their own data. The Fruit-and-Vegetable Collaborative Network studied in this paper is formed by producers, processers, packaging companies, marketers, transporters, and distributors. It has been developed via a web platform (Virtual Office), which allows the network to carry out processes in a collaborative way, and helps the network in its process of confi...

Esto se puede comprobar considerando las numerosas investigaciones realizadas en este ámbito donde se evidencia la necesidad de fundamentar la relación existente entre el planeamiento urbano y la salud de las personas. Pese a que se han propuesto numerosas metodologías para analizar estas relaciones, se observa que aquella que se da entre el volumen de peatones en una zona y las características del entorno dan mejores resultados, aunque partan de modelos multivariables difíciles de calcular. El propósito de este artículo pretende recopilar y reducir aquellas variables que afecten de manera significativa a los movimientos poblacionales en función del nivel comercial de la zona de estudio. Para ello, se utilizará entre los diferentes modelos mat...

Homecare delivery scheduling and planning tools must lead to efficient reliable routes that allow the nursing crew to make the least efforts and use the fewest institutional resources, and that consider urban sustainability goals. For the case study, a European city was selected with 58,000 people of whom 73 patients received long-term care at homes provided by 11 homecare nurses. While maximising patient satisfaction, a homecare planning algorithm considered many means of transport and minimised travel times. The study reduced the total nurses' working hours/day by a bus and walking combination, and by comparing if nurses ride e-bikes, which respectively reduced~35-44% of the total time that nurses spent travelling. This result is applicable to an urban environment where the public transport network is sufficient and biking is allowed on a reasonable number of roads. Better homecare management can support the efficient use of resources of health care institutions, high-quality home care and aspirations towards livable communities and sustainable development.
