  School is an essential context that contributes to children's communicative competence. Decision Support Systems (DSS) are tools that can help teachers to assess their own practice and to make decisions to improve it (Gregg, ...
• Investigating the quality of SPSA and Spiess-like approaches forDynamic OD Matrix Estimation 

  Barceló Bugeda, Jaime; Ros-Roca, Xavier; Montero Mercadé, Lídia (2018)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  Dynamic OD Estimation is usually formulated as bi-level problem where the objective function can not be evaluated analytically and thus the formulation relies on non-differentiable optimization methods that usually pivot ...

  Probe vehicle data is becoming an important source of real-time travel information for a variety of intelligent transportation system applications. Since traditional sensors have significant installation and maintenance ...
• Combining formal definition of a simulation model with heuristics to improve building sustainability 

  Fonseca Casas, Pau; Fonseca Casas, Antoni (2018)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  Sustainability is related with environmental, social and economic variables. Each one of these areas is, by itself, complex due to the huge number of factors that one must analyze. Because of the combination of the levels ...
• Fusing mobile phone data with other data sources to generate input OD matrices for transport models 

  Montero Mercadé, Lídia; Ros-Roca, Xavier; Herranz, Ricardo; Barceló Bugeda, Jaime (Elsevier, 2018)
  Conference lecture

  OD matrices that describe mobility patterns provide major input to most transport analysis models. Since OD matrices are not yet directly observable, they are usually estimated indirectly. Data from new sources such as ...
• Modelling and analysis of intermodal passenger operations in a cruise terminal to prevent traffic congestion and enhance quality of service using discrete event simulation 

  Figueras Jové, Jaume; Guasch Petit, Antonio; Casanovas Garcia, Josep (2018)
  Conference report

  Investigating the performance of SPSA in simulation-optimization approaches to transportation problems 

  Ros-Roca, Xavier; Montero Mercadé, Lídia; Schneck, Arne; Jaume, Barceló (2018)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  While optimization models play a key role in transportation analysis, the objective function to be optimized, however, cannot always be defined analytically. It is therefore necessary to resort to non-differentiable ...
• Influence of fused deposition modeling (FDM) parameters on surface finish of plastic parts 

  Buj Corral, Irene; Marco Almagro, Lluís; Rodero de Lamo, Lourdes; Domínguez Fernandez, Alejandro (2018)
  Conference report
