Introduction
Szumska’s institutional profile places her within the Faculty of Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Automotive Engineering and Transport at Kielce University of Technology. The profile records her ORCID and Scopus identifiers, allowing scholarly publications to be associated with a persistent researcher identity. [1]
Research Profile
Her documented research covers several interconnected transportation topics. These include electric and hybrid propulsion, vehicle energy consumption, life-cycle assessment, driving behaviour, transport safety, and economic evaluation of urban bus technologies. A 2024 review examined methodologies for assessing the environmental and health burdens associated with passenger vehicles across their life cycles. [2]
Research Contributions
The publication record demonstrates research addressing both technical and sustainability dimensions of transportation. Studies have considered energy recovery during electric-vehicle braking, the economic and energy efficiency of different urban-bus propulsion systems, and the classification of professional driving styles. [3] [4]
Publications
Selected publications include Comprehensive review of life cycle assessment methodologies for passenger vehicles, published in the Journal of Sustainable Development of Transport and Logistics in 2024, with DOI 10.14254/jsdtl.2024.9-1.5. [2] Other documented work includes Preliminary driving style classification of the professional drivers (2022), DOI 10.14669/AM/157998, and Total Cost of Ownership analysis and energy efficiency of electric, hybrid and conventional urban buses (2022), DOI 10.17531/ein.2022.1.2. [3] [4]
Research Impact
The supplied bibliometric information reports 36 documents, 664 citations, and an h-index of 14. These indicators provide quantitative information about the indexed research record, although citation counts can change over time and may vary between databases. Individual publications should therefore be considered alongside disciplinary context and research content. [1]
Award Suitability
The documented affiliation, persistent researcher identifiers, publication record, and research activity in transportation systems provide factual material for consideration under an Innovative Research Award profile. Her research spans transportation technologies and sustainability-related questions, with documented publications addressing electric vehicles, hybrid propulsion, transport safety, and vehicle life-cycle assessment. [2]
Conclusion
Emilia Szumska’s academic record is associated with transportation systems and automotive engineering, with research extending to electric and hybrid vehicles, sustainable transportation, energy efficiency, and vehicle life-cycle assessment. The available institutional and publication records provide identifiable evidence of scholarly activity in these areas and support further evaluation through the cited research databases and publications.
