Microsimulation models on child and adolescent health: a scoping review protocol

BMJ Open
Introduction Microsimulation models are computer-based models, which can be employed to simulate the behaviour of microagents, such as children and adolescents, to understand the potential behavioural and economic effects of health interventions or ...

An Efficient Parallelization of Microscopic Traffic Simulation

Applied Sciences
Large-scale traffic simulations at a microscopic level can mimic the physical reality in great detail so that innovative transport services can be evaluated. However, the simulation times of such scenarios is currently too long to be practical.

A Real-time Traffic Signal Control Strategy Under Partially Connected Vehicle Environment

Promet (Zagreb), 2019
The performance of a traffic system tends to improve as the percentage of connected vehicles (CV) in total flow increases. However, due to low CV penetration in the current vehicle market, improving the traffic signal operation remains a challenging task.

A Spatio-Temporal Microsimulation Framework for Charging Impact Analysis of Electric Vehicles in Residential Areas: Sensitivity Analysis and Benefits of Model Complexity

Energies
The increasing share of electric vehicles (EVs) offers many advantages, including a reduced CO2 footprint over the vehicles’ lifetime and improved resource efficiency through the recycling of high-voltage batteries. At the same time, the growing EV share

Comparing 3 Evidence‐Based Strategies to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease Burden: An Individual‐Based Cardiometabolic Policy Simulation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Understanding the real‐world impact of clinical trials that change risk factors is important for health policy. We developed a microsimulation that estimates the population‐level benefits in each US state of cardiometabolic interventions ...

Simulation of an application of the Hartz-IV reform in Austria

Public Sector Economics, 2017
This paper examines the application of the German Hartz-IV model in Austria. If the Hartz-IV reform were to be transferred to Austria, this would imply that instead of unemployment assistance (Notstandshilfe), the social-assistance-type minimum income ...

Dynamic Microsimulation Model of Impoverishment Among Elderly Women in Japan

Frontiers in Physics, 2018
The increasing poverty rate for elderly women is a growing concern in Japan and is generally due to their lifestyle changes and the public pension system based on the pre-1980s (old) lifestyle.
