Smart mobility solutions are trending in the mobility domain realized through pilot activities and commercial solutions, but there is a lack of a broad framework defining the readiness to introduce such mobility solutions in a specific area. In this research, smart mobility solutions are examined in the perspective of the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) scheme that is an adequate representation of the maturity of a region regarding smart mobility solutions including technology, business, and coopetition aspects. These three aspects define the feature selection, whereas surveys are used to collect input data from local experts (LEs). For weighting the features, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used with a modified interpretive structural modeling (ISM). With this modification, an expert-friendly process is developed without affecting the results. The elaborated MaaS readiness index (MRI) is applied to six regions with different types of mobility related pilot activities to demonstrate the MRI as a comparison tool between regions and between ex-ante and ex-post pilot activities. The developed interpretive structural modeling with Graph (ISM-G) methodology requites remarkably less work from the evaluators compared to the ISM, while no important difference appeared in the results. The MRI can support smart mobility related pilot evaluations, whereas the ISM-G can be used widely in decision-making.

The process of evaporation can be grouped into 48 different cases depending on the conditions and properties of the gas and liquid. The publications found in the literature and the correlations specifying the evaporation rate can be classified into these cases. A new dimensionless equation was created that gives the value of the evaporation rate in the case of evaporation with steady-state gas and liquid conditions under mixed or forced convection. To create the equation, we used our own measurement results, as well as the measurement results found in the literature, which were published with appropriate data. During the comparison with equations found in the literature, the new dimensionless equation best approximated the measurement results with an average relative error of 12.4 %.
