Improving winter condition simulations in SURFEX-TEB v9.0 with a multi-layer snow model and ice by G. Colas, V. Masson, F. Bouttier, L. Bouilloud, L. Pavan, V. Karsisto

“…The experiments are carried out at two locations: the Col de Porte in the Alps and a road weather station in southern Finland. Our findings show that the enhanced TEB model (named TEB-ES) outperforms TEB, as well as a benchmark model, ISBA-Route/CROCUS, but with mixed results against a multiple linear regression in-sample algorithm. …”

A Multiobjective Bilevel Programming Model for Environmentally Friendly Traffic Signal Timings by Ozgur Baskan

“…To do this, they optimize traffic signal timings, which is one of the most preferred methods, and thus they can increase the reserve capacity of a road network. However, more travel demand along with more reserve capacity leads to vehicle emissions problem which has become quite dangerous for road users, especially in developing countries. …”
