SODIS potential: A novel parameter to assess the suitability of solar water disinfection worldwide

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Sofia Samoili, Giulio Farinelli

This paper studies the worldwide applicability of solar water disinfection (SODIS) technology through a novel parameter: the SODIS potential. This parameter is defined as the inverse ratio between the required exposure time to achieve a four log disinfecti ...

A Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Hard Shoulder Running Systems

André-Gilles Dumont, Dimitrios Efthymiou, Sofia Samoili

The use of Hard Shoulder Running (HSR) systems is a relatively recent control policy aiming to ameliorate traffic conditions in recurrent congested networks. This ITS strategy attracts researchers and practitioners interest, in an attempt to assess its imp ...

Investigation of Lane Flow Distribution on Hard Shoulder Running Freeways

André-Gilles Dumont, Dimitrios Efthymiou, Sofia Samoili

Responding to an impending demand growth at an existing reactive managed lane system, and in order to provide a timely and more effective temporary hard shoulder activation, short-term prediction models are developed. A lane-oriented attribute, namely the ...

Dynamics of Lane Distribution Flows in Freeways

Nikolaos Geroliminis, André-Gilles Dumont, Sofia Samoili

Lane density and lane flow distribution are utilised in the current study as characteristics of traffic dynamics for control and planning purposes in freeways with ITS systems. As part of an on-going research, the Lane Flow Distribution Ratio (LFDR) and th ...
