In May 2012, a Coxsackievirus A24 haemorrhagic conjunctivitis was diagnosed in Marseille, France, in a traveller returning from the Comoros Islands. This case allowed identification of the cause of an ongoing outbreak of haemorrhagic conjunctivitis in Indian Ocean Islands, illustrating that returning travellers may serve as sentinels for infectious diseases outbreaks in tropical areas where lab...

A common way of dealing with large urban transport infrastructures is by using Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) systems [1][2]. The UK Department for Transport led Urban Traffic Management and Control initiative recognizes the following common UTMC components: strategic network management, comprehensive performance monitoring, traveller information, congestion monitoring, streamlined...

A group is combable if it can be represented by a language of words satisfying a fellow traveller property; an automatic group has a synchronous combing which is a regular language. This article surveys results for combable groups, in particular in the case where the combing is a formal language. AMS Classi cation 20F10, 20-04, 68Q40; 03D40

The new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) give the possibility to have access to huge masses of information via varied supports (PC, PDA, Cell phone). Thus, to allow the traveller to find the information he is interested in, the personalization is the appropriate solution. In this article, we will propose a Personalized Multimodal Information Diffusion System (PMIDS) based on mul...

INTRODUCTION Physical activity (PA) has been shown to be an important factor for health and educational outcomes in children. However, a large proportion of children's school day is spent in sedentary lesson-time. There is emerging evidence about the effectiveness of physically active lessons: integrating physical movements and educational content in the classroom. 'Virtual Traveller' is a nove...

The classical Wardrop user equilibrium (UE) assignment model assumes traveller choices are based on fixed, known travel times, yet these times are known to be rather variable between trips, both within and between days; typically, then, only mean travel times are represented. Classical stochastic user equilibrium (SUE) methods allow the mean travel times to be differentially perceived across th...

• Air transport infrastructures are a pillar of the destinations competitiveness. Technology supports passenger experience. Women show higher appreciation for technology use in airport processes. Gender differences influence traveller satisfaction at Smart Airports. Socio-demographic factors
