meteorological stations usually contain some missing data for different reasons.there are several traditional methods for completing data, among them bivariate and multivariate linear and non-linear correlation analysis, double mass curve, ratio and difference methods, moving average and probability density functions are commonly used. in this paper a blended model comprising the bivariate expo...

Based on a representative data set of more than 36,000 original tax report extracts, we develop a microsimulation model that calculates the fiscal impact of changes in the area of tax deductible work-related expenses, in particular expenses for travelling from private home to the place of work, in Germany. The new model allows a more accurate estimation of the fiscal impact of changes in the Ge...

Railway planners have several tools to simulate the operation. Simulation allows the evaluation of the railway system’s quality by different points of view. Analyses of timetable stability and robustness include several indicators: recovery time and total delay among others. This paper formulates a model to describe the delay on a railway line. The total delay is characterized as a polynomial f...

Abstract The extent of the challenges and opportunities that population ageing presents depends heavily on population’s health. Hence, for development appropriate strategies enable countries to adopt emerging demographic epidemiological realities, information future health trajectories elderly is a natural requirement. This study an innovative methodological framework projecting individuals usi...

This article analyses the impact that different parking management policies may have on public roads. Policies were simulated using a new model based two sub models: choice of place and search for place. The considers curb traffic was implemented into traditional microsimulation software. parameters models estimated from data collected in city centre Santander (Spain) stated preferences survey ...

This paper presents a novel method of creating and updating geographical population microdata. In particular, it presents a prototype modelling technique which forms a component of the SimBritain modelling project. The paper first briefly discusses some of the key conceptual and practical issues involved in microsimulation, in particular highlighting the differences between spatial and aspatial...
