The field of transportation and communication networks is moving towards increased accessibility, reliability, and resilience. Researchers are exploring new methods to recover origin-destination flows from existing infrastructure, such as bus CCTV systems, and to extend connectivity in rural areas using public transport systems. There is also a growing focus on post-disaster rebuilding and recovery, with a emphasis on media architecture and its potential role in supporting community recovery and resilience. Additionally, advancements in delay tolerant networking and road access deprivation modeling are improving our understanding of transportation systems in sub-Saharan Africa. Noteworthy papers include:

• A study on recovering origin-destination flows from bus CCTV, which presents a baseline pipeline that combines computer vision and machine learning techniques to attain high counting accuracy.
• A paper on speculating the role of media architecture in post-disaster rebuilding and recovery, which highlights the importance of community engagement and participation in the design process.
• A research on delay tolerant networking, which proposes a framework that utilizes informal public transportation systems as mobile data mules to enhance connectivity in underserved regions.
