TLDR
In this article, the effect of weather conditions on daily traffic intensities (the number of cars passing a specific segment of a road) was examined in Belgium, where road usage on a particular location determines the size of the impacts of various weather conditions.Abstract:
This paper focuses on the effect of weather conditions on daily traffic intensities (the number of cars passing a specific segment of a road). The main objective is to examination whether or not weather conditions uniformly alter daily traffic intensities in Belgium, or in other words whether or not road usage on a particular location determines the size of the impacts of various weather conditions. This general examination is a contribution that allows policymakers to assess the appropriateness of countrywide versus local traffic management strategies. In addition, a secondary goal of this paper is to validate findings in international literature within a Belgian context. To achieve these goals, the paper analyzes the effects of weather conditions on both upstream (toward a specific location) and downstream (away from a specific location) traffic intensities at three traffic count locations typified by a different road usage. Perhaps the most interesting results of this study for policymakers ar...read more

Global and regional increase of precipitation extremes under global warming.
TL;DR: Papalexiou et al. as mentioned in this paper performed a global analysis of 12 8730 daily precipitation records focusing on the 1964-2013 period when the global warming accelerates, and introduced a novel analysis of the N largest extremes in records having N complete years within the study period.

A study on crashes related to visibility obstruction due to fog and smoke
TL;DR: This study presents a comprehensive examination of FS-related crashes using crash data from Florida between 2003 and 2007, finding that head-on and rear-end crashes are the two most common crash types in terms of crash risk and severity.

Implementation Framework and Development Trajectory of FEATHERS Activity-Based Simulation Platform:
TL;DR: The FEATHERS framework as mentioned in this paper suggests a four-stage development trajectory for a smooth transition from the four-step models toward static activity-based models in the short term and dynamic activity based models for transport demand in the long term.
