A methodology to predict PM10 concentrations in urban outdoor environments is developed based on the generalized linear models (GLMs). The methodology is based on the relationship developed between atmospheric concentrations of air pollutants (i.e. CO, NO2,NOx, VOCs, SO2) and meteorological variables (i.e. ambient temperature, relative humidity (RH) and wind speed) for acity (Barreiro) of Portugal. The model us...
Executive Summary: Airport terminals curbsides are the critical interfaces between stand- ing vehicles, moving vehicles and pedestrians, acting as the capacity buffer between the road delivery system and the airport terminal building. Their design and capacity are essential to the successful performance of any airport infrastructure and, therefore, impact the quality of passenger experience. The current solutio...
Setting the price of water on a public distribution network taking into account only fixed and operational costs might not be sufficient. This is due to the fact that once prices are raised water demand may decrease, since consumers will either restrict their water intake or even consider alternative water suppliers. The problem is how to estimate the price elasticity of water, that is, the dependence of demand...
The problem: how to estimate the price elasticity of water demand? Goal: simulate and predict the role of water demand dependence on price.
Airport terminal’s curbsides are the critical interfaces between standing vehicles, moving vehicles and pedestrians. They act as the capacity buffer between the road delivery system and the airport terminal building. Their design and capacity are essential to the successful performance of any airport infrastructure and, therefore, determine the quality of passenger experience.
