Abstract
Growing urbanisation, the development of smart cities, and environmental concerns have driven the implementation of advanced technologies and the modernisation of transport systems. Electric motorcycles have emerged as an effective solution for mobility, but they also present specific challenges, particularly related to the mode of riding, which is more complex than that of other vehicles and requires greater attention, skill, and preparation. Therefore, the interaction between the rider and the support system must be carefully designed, with particular emphasis on the interface and the adaptation of route information. This interface should be intuitive, accessible, and capable of presenting relevant information in a clear and objective manner, minimising distractions while riding. In addition, it must be adaptable to user preferences, allowing for customisation such as colour themes, levels of detail in the information displayed, or specific notifications regarding adverse weather and road conditions. Adapting route information provides a more efficient, safe, and satisfactory user experience. It enables riders to access personalised information, continuously updated in real time and tailored to the situation and their specific needs, including traffic conditions, road surface state, and weather conditions. This optimisation leads to better time management, energy consumption, and overall ride quality, enhancing urgent and non-urgent services. Moreover, integrating clearly and objectively features such as voice commands and compatibility with mobile or wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches) can facilitate real-time interaction without compromising safety. The interface should also offer advanced functionalities in line with technological developments and user needs, adapting to each rider’s specific requirements. This not only improves the individual experience but also promotes efficiency and sustainability, contributing to the advancement of smart cities and innovative mobility solutions. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.

Abstract
The Benefit of the Doubt (BoD) is a non-parametric frontier model derived from Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), used to construct composite indicators in various sectors of economic activity, with a particular focus on macroeconomic assessments. Based on documents published in the Web of Science from 1991 to 2025, we conduct a systematic bibliometric review on this topic, proposing future research directions derived from the bibliographic coverage of the most recurrent concepts, areas, and problems addressed in the current BoD literature. We identify core publication networks for non-parametric frontier composite indicators, highlighting trends, hot topics, and clusters of applications. As a result, we offer three different and comprehensive BoD research agendas based on a practical knowledge discovery exercise from expert knowledge and Large Language Models (LLM), highlighting attractive topics, theoretical contributions, concepts, methods, and potential applications. © 2025 The Author(s)

Abstract
Temporal relation classification is the task of determining the temporal relation between pairs of temporal entities in a text. Despite recent advancements in natural language processing, temporal relation classification remains a considerable challenge. Early attempts framed this task using a comprehensive set of temporal relations between events and temporal expressions. However, due to the task complexity, datasets have been progressively simplified, leading recent approaches to focus on the relations between event pairs and to use only a subset of relations. In this work, we revisit the broader goal of classifying interval relations between temporal entities by considering the full set of relations that can hold between two time intervals. The proposed approach, Interval from Point, involves first classifying the point relations between the endpoints of the temporal entities and then decoding these point relations into an interval relation. Evaluation on the TempEval-3 dataset shows that this approach can yield effective results, achieving a temporal awareness score of 70.1 percent, a new state-of-the-art on this benchmark. © 2026 Owner/Author.

Abstract
This study highlights the critical role of Large Language Model (LLM) in simplifying technical content and integrating visual data for accessible communication. It compares GPT-4 and Llama-3.2-90b-Vision-Preview, focusing on readability, semantic similarity, and multimodal interpretation using robust metrics like Flesch Reading Ease, Gunning Fog Index, and CLIP Score. GPT-4 retains key information and achieves high semantic and textual integration scores, making it more suitable for complex technical scenarios. Furthermore, LLaMA prioritizes readability and simplicity, outperforming in generating accessible captions. Both models show optimal performance with a temperature setting of 0.5, balancing simplicity and meaning preservation. The research underscores LLM potential to democratize technical knowledge across disciplines but notes precision and multimodal integration limitations. Future directions include fine-tuning for domain-specific applications and expanding input modalities to enhance accessibility and efficiency in real-world technical tasks.
