Knowing the passengers' final destinations, underlying motifs, and commuting habits is critical to optimise public transportation systems, guide urban planning and contribute to a more sustainable urban mobility. In entry-only Automated Fare Collection systems, the body of literature has focused on the spatial dimension by estimating alighting stops, overlooking the inference of robust alighting times. Moreover...
The Balanced Scorecard, developed in 1992 by Kaplan and Norton, has evolved into a communication and strategy execution system widely adopted by organizations across various industries. This article explores the use of an ontology to bridge the gap between strategy management and data within the Balanced Scorecard framework. The Balanced Scorecard Ontology is introduced to store, validate, and analyze knowledge...
Passenger alighting estimation is a critical task in public transport (PT) management, especially for entry-only Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) transport systems where passenger alighting are not recorded. Effective estimation methods are necessary for trip analysis and route planning, offering valuable insights into passengers’ mobility patterns and, subsequently, improving the quality of service. However, th...
This article addresses the complex challenges that public organizations face in designing, implementing, and evaluating their strategies, where public interest and regulatory compliance often intertwine with strategic objectives. This research investigates the application of ontologies in the field of public sector strategy management to enhance the capacity of organizations to make informed data-driven decisio...
BIM tools enable decision-making during the lifecycle of engineering structures, such as bridges, tunnels, and roads. National Road Authorities use Asset Management Systems (AMS) to manage and monitor operational information of assets from European Highways, including access to sensor and inspection data. Interoperability between BIM and AMS systems is vital for a timely and effective decision-making process du...
O desenvolvimento de capacidade para prever a agitação marítima ao nível das bacias oceânicas com alguns dias de antecedência estimulou o aparecimento de sistemas informáticos para previsão dos efeitos da agitação marítima em zonas costeiras e portuárias. O HIDRALERTA é um desses sistemas: partindo das características da agitação marítima ao largo e utilizando modelos numéricos para a propagação da agitação mar...
