Current information about the expansion of Bantu-speaking peoples is hampered by scarcity genetic data from well identified populations southern Africa. Here, we fill an important gap in analysis western edge Bantu migrations studying for first time patterns Y-chromosome, mtDNA and lactase persistence variation four representative groups living around Namib Desert southwestern Angola (Ovimbundu, Ganguela, Nyaneka-Nkumbi Kuvale). We assessed differentiation between these their levels...
Infrastructure and traffic management technologies can have substantial impact on fuel use emissions. This article explores a way to generate information about emissions other route characteristics for drivers faced with choice of routes. Global positioning system (GPS)-equipped vehicles were used traverse various paths between origins destinations collect second-by-second trajectory data required microscale emission analysis. A methodology based the vehicle specific power (VSP) concept was...
A “turboroundabout” is a variation of the conventional multilane roundabout in which spiral road markings and raised lane dividers force drivers to follow specific path according their intended destination. This geometry eliminates weaving cut-in conflicts by guiding continuously from entry exit. Turboroundabouts were conceived with main aim improving safety, but practical benefits are relatively unknown. Likewise, few existing studies on turboroundabouts do not allow definitive conclusions...
The future of road transportation systems faces fundamental changes concerning technological progress and business models. Automated electric vehicles are coming into the market evolving towards a service-based mobility system with promises to tackle energy environmental issues in sector. Although recent studies have begun explore potential impact shared privately owned automated (AEVs) mostly from an operational perspective, little is known about life cycle such transport systems. To fill...
In line with globally shared environmental sustainability goals, the shift towards citizen-friendly mobility is changing way people move through cities and road user behaviour. Building a sustainable transport requires design knowledge to develop increasingly green infrastructures monitoring impacts from mobile crowdsourced data. this view, paper presents an empirically based methodology that integrates vehicle-specific power (VSP) model microscopic traffic simulation (AIMSUN) estimate...
This paper aims to propose a novel Road Traffic Noise Model (RTNM), capable of dynamically assessing road traffic noise levels from reliable data (hourly volumes and speed), supporting or replacing sensor networks, addressing pollution concerns. RTNM is composed two parts: i) the Vehicle Specific Power model (for assessment sound power level – Lw passenger cars, considering speed motorization information) coupled with CNOSSOS estimation heavy-duty vehicles' Lw); ii) propagation (to evaluate...
The goal of this paper is to emphasize and present briefly the nanotechnology science its potential impact on automotive industry in order improve production recent models with an optimization safety performance a reduction environmental impacts. Nanomaterials can be applied car bodies as light weight constructions without compromising stiffness crashwortiness, which means less material fuel consumption. This outlines progress applications into features more vehicle efficiency, but also...
