Abstract
The common challenges faced by companies/industries are often related to the 'iron triangle' categories, namely: deadlines, budget, scope and quality. The Project Management knowledge area proposes a systematic approach to overcome these difficulties, with the purpose of acquiring new knowledge and skills, as well as by implementing methodologies, tools, processes and techniques. The textile and clothing industry, or fashion industry, is not immune to the same type of challenges. The products of the fashion chain are collections, which are developed according to market specifications, trends and market profiles. These specifications evolve very rapidly and, therefore, have their main objective in the development of new and/or innovative products. To deliver a new collection, the whole process of elaborating these products is executed based on a per project approach. Each collection is unique, having a well-defined beginning and end. The development of a fashion collection should consider the processes that, at the industrial level, will originate the final product, thus requiring a methodology that integrates the development of the project from the initial phase - conception of the product idea - until the final stage - start of production / launch to the market. By trying to identify project management approaches in the Portuguese textile and clothing industry, this study allowed us to conclude that, despite of these organizations considering as being developing or involved in projects, the approaches followed are not formal, structured and systematic. Furthermore, there is still no complete application of any of the known project management methodologies.

Abstract
Quality Management has been one of the most dominating and pervasive managerial approaches all over the world during the last three decades. The questionnaire of this study included different information, of where we can highlight: the perception of the importance having implemented the ISO 9001 standard; the most used quality tools/techniques in the professional activities. As main conclusions we can highlight: women attach great importance to the implementation of the ISO 9001 standard, namely as regards on customer satisfaction, in the competitiveness of the Organization and in the relationship with customers and give less importance in individual performance, in motivation of professionals and in the evolution of sales. Men value the implementation of the ISO 9001 more, namely regarding to the relationship with customers, in the management mode and they give less importance to the evolution of sales and to the motivation of professionals.

Abstract
Mobility is an essential part of modern society and of the actual panorama of mobility and accessibility, including Public Transportation Systems (PTS), needs to be rethink and adapted, regarding the social and technological evolutions, enhancing a healthier, environmentally sustainable, economic viable and equitable transportation for all the population. This paper describes the actual mobility attributes, through mentioning diverse case studies, and technological features/requirements towards presenting a solution to achieve the redefinition of mobility systems, i.e. allowing to enhance integrated mobility options, from the Public Transport (PT) modes through the soft modes enclosure, supported by a technological system that could manage and support the efficient use of such mobility options - that is designated as Flexible on Demand Transport Services (FDTS). The involvement and commitment of all the stakeholders in the mobility process as well as the municipal support, and the policy makers in general is essential to fully adopt the mobility framework dynamics and implement the future mobility of the intermodal system and of the MaaS integration.

Abstract
Along with the social evolution concept and the environmental concerns, the use of active transport modes is a suitable solution to face this new reality. Therefore, the cultural shift needed in order to promote the use of active modes, the use of bicycles as a viable transport mode, and the understanding of its impacts and characteristics becomes a present priority and concern. Based on the actual bicycle panorama and the Portuguese cycling strategies and guidelines, the GetGreen Company data, in the scope of the EducaBicla Program case study, is analysed and a future pathway is outlined. This study allows to create a sensitivity perception of the relation between the daily use of bicycles as a transport mode and its promotion among young ages population, i.e. the impact on sustainable and healthy daily mobility choices after having the knowledge provided by teaching/learning bicycle programs such as EducaBicla. In this paper are identified the main features/characteristics to be considered when implementing a bicycle teaching/learning project, ensuring progress towards the use of active, healthy and sustainable mobility modes; the appropriated age to start this program; and how this program can be expanded.

Abstract
The modem societies claim on being safer, more sustainable and with more inclusive mobility policies, towards assuring the world sustainable standards. One of the key future mobility factors is focused on the usage of the soft modes, emphasizing the use of bicycles. This mean of transport needs to be permanently implemented worldwide, supported by policies that can unify user's, planners, public and private companies, academics and politicians. Therefore, it is crucial to understanding the user's motivations to adopt the bicycle as a mean of transport instead of the motorized vehicle solutions. With the aim of understanding the user's characteristics, needs and expectations regarding the use of bicycle, as well as to point out innovative initiatives and the role of bicycles in cities' planning, some European examples were analyzed and described as state-of-the-art practices. Such examples allow us to consider and propose a set of adjustments and future recommendations to strengthen the bicycle option as an effective mass mobility mean.

Abstract
Population in the cities grows every day posing new challenges that need to be properly addressed throughout the planning and design of sustainable and smart cities - cities of the future. Mobility is an important issue considering social inclusion and the sustainable development of such cities. Thus, future mobility will have an increased importance when having to plan and design the cities of tomorrow. A key component of any future mobility and its metabolism is what is known as Mobility as a Service (MaaS), representing emerging opportunities from any type or mode of transportation in future cities. Through an empirical and explorative research methodology, this paper presents the main APP's/platforms characteristics, regarding the European territory, towards an integrated and sustainable mobility. Concluding, we present some features and trends that should be considered in the development of future MaaS systems, allowing a more convenient provision of versatile and attractive mobility services. © 2018 IEEE.
