(Informa UK (Taylor & Francis), 2021-03)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents the optimization problem of three different on-demand transit systems operated by vehicles of different sizes. This problem is aimed at minimizing the total cost of the system, which consists of the ... -
An agile simheuristic for the stochastic team task assignment and orienteering problem: applications to unmanned aerial vehicles
(2020)
Conference report
Open AccessEfficient coordination of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires the solving of challenging operational problems. One of them is the integrated team task assignment and orienteering problem (TAOP). The TAOP can be seen ... -
Added resistance parametrizations due to waves in a weather ship routing system
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessThis contribution compares the parametrization of the wave effect on navigation in a weather ship routing system using three different formulations. The investigation is supported by the use of a ship routing system, the ... -
Freeway travel time information from input-output vehicle counts: a drift correction method based on AVI data
(2020-05)
Article
Open AccessInput-output cumulative count curves are a powerful tool to forecast freeway travel times in the very short term, as they rely on the predictive information given by the vehicles' accumulation in the target section. ... -
Short-term prediction of freeway travel times by fusing input-output vehicle counts and GPS tracking data
(Informa UK (Taylor & Francis), 2020-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyShort-term travel time prediction on freeways is the most valuable information for drivers when selecting their routes and departure times. Furthermore, this information is also essential at traffic management centers in ... -
Wind-Driven hydrodynamics in the shallow, micro-tidal estuary at the Fangar Bay (Ebro Delta, NW Mediterranean Sea)
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-10-04)
Article
Open AccessThis article investigates water circulation in small-scale (~10 km2), shallow (less than 4 m) and micro-tidal estuaries. The research characterizes the hydrodynamic wind response in these domains using field data from ... -

(2020-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study investigates the hydrographic variability and the estuarine classification obtained from a set of field campaign data in Inhambane Bay (Mozambique). In situ measured salinity, temperature and sea-level data, ... -
Assessing nature based solutions for managing coastal bays
(2020-05-26)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work investigates the hydrodynamic response of two small and shallow bays located in the Ebro Delta, in order to solve the problems affecting mussel farms, such as the high temperatures reached in the summer period ... -
Modeling public transportation networks for a circular city: the role of urban subcenters and mobility density
(Elsevier, 2020)
Article
Open AccessThe concentration of both employment and services in a specific area of a town generates positive effects, but also impacts (congestion, transit issues, and others). Urban subcenters seek to approach economic activities ...
