Exploring the Performance of Different On-Demand Transit Services Provided by a Fleet of Shared Automated Vehicles: An Agent-Based Model by Senlei Wang, Goncalo Homem de Almeida Correia, Hai Xiang Lin

“…Simulation results suggest that SAV systems together with dynamic ridesharing can significantly reduce average waiting time, the vehicle kilometres travelled and empty SAV trips. Moreover, the proposed optimal vehicle assignment algorithm can significantly reduce the empty vehicle kilometres travelled (VKT) for the pickups for all tested SAV systems up to about 40% and improve the system capacity for transporting the passengers. …”

La voie entre Cessero (Saint-Thibéry, Hérault) et Segodunum (Rodez, Aveyron) : lieux d’étape de la moyenne vallée de l’Hérault by Stéphane Mauné

“…This has enabled the route to be traced, and shows that the volume of traffic, which developed mainly during the Early Empire due to the intensity of trade between the coastline and the Massif Central, resulted in the creation of halting places over a stretch of several kilometres. Comparisons with other roadside facilities in Narbonne, Aquitaine, Belgium, and also in Pannonia, are proposed, indicating the deployment of a standard model. …”

La station de Bergusium et le site des Buissières à Panossas (Isère) : de la toponymie à l’archéologie by Matthieu Poux, Aldo Borlenghi

“…The scarcity and widespread dispersion of the remains discovered, as well as issues of toponymic derivation, suggest other localities, the foremost of which is Mount Briançon, several kilometres to the west. Its name is derived from the Celtic berg-/brig-, similar to the theonym Bergusia referred to in an Alesian inscription and related to a tutelary goddess of mining in these mountains. …”

Geofluids Assessment of the Ayub and Shafa Hot Springs in Kopet-Dagh Zone (NE Iran): An Isotopic Geochemistry Approach by Hossein Mohammadzadeh, Majid Kazemi

“…Based on Na-K geothermometers coupled with isotopic (18O and 2H) geochemistry the temperature of the AP geothermal reservoir was estimated to be in the range of 100–150°C with 3–5 and 4.2 kilometres’ depth, respectively. Chemically, the AP samples are CaSO4 facies with a chemically homogeneous source and steam heated waters type.…”

Projet du parc linéaire de l’humedal Juan Amarillo, 2000-2018, Bogota, Colombie by Eduardo Samper Martinez

“…This paper presents an outline of the cultural and eco-systemic context of the wetlands (humedales) of the savannah (sabana) district of the city of Bogota situated at an altitude of 2,600 metres with a surface area of 1,800 square kilometres. Based in one of these wetlands, the Juan Amarillo humedal which is more than 6 km long with a width varying within just a few hundred metres, the aim is to demonstrate the current challenges involved in their development as landscapes and in their proposed uses for a population of close to 2 million inhabitants. …”

Geophysical flows over topography, a playground for laboratory experiments by Vidal, Jérémie, Noir, Jérôme, Cébron, David, Burmann, Fabian, Monville, Rémy, Giraud, Vadim, Charles, Yoann

“…In particular, complexities arise because geophysical fluids are rotating and subject to density variations, but also because the fluid boundaries have complex geometries (e.g. the ocean floor) with wavelengths ranging from metres to thousands of kilometres. Dynamical models of planetary fluid layers are thus often constrained by observations, whose interpretation necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the underlying physics. …”
