TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented and optimized the annual heating, cooling and lighting energy consumption associated with applying different types and properties of window systems in a building envelope through using building simulation modeling, various window properties such as U-value, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), and visible transmittance (Tvis) are evaluated with different window wall ratios and orientations in five typical Asian climates: Manila, Taipei, Shanghai, Seoul and Sapporo.

TL;DR: This study inspects traffic accident reports that have been accumulated by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) since 1973 for which each accident report contains around 100 data fields and shows that only a handful of the risk factors in the data dominate the severity level.

TL;DR: Based on the statistically significant factors identified, the following safety strategies appear to be effective methods of reducing motorcyclist fatalities: public education of alcohol use, promoting helmet use, enforcing heavy vehicle and speed violations, improving roadway facilities, clearer roadway guidance and street lighting systems, and motorcyclists training.

TL;DR: In this article, a bottom-up approach is presented for maintenance optimisation for heterogeneous infrastructure systems, where facility-level optimal maintenance policies are first found; these policies are then combined with budget constraints in the system-level optimisation.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into potential strategies for rainy weather highway safety improvement, specifically, the following weather-sensitive strategies: road design and ITS implementation for drivers' safety awareness under rainfall.
