Suicide is a major public health concern in Australia and globally, requiring targeted research efforts to build the evidence base for its effective prevention. We examined current and future priorities in Australian suicide prevention research durin...
This paper focuses on the optimization problem of a signal timing design based on the concept of bus priority. This optimization problem is formulated in the form of a bi-level programming model that minimizes average passenger delay at intersections...
Hungarian teachers’ reform priorities remain insufficiently mapped, despite their central role in shaping feasible, evidence-based educational change. In a cross-sectional study with 1254 kindergarten, primary, and secondary teachers across Hun...
In disaster response and other infrastructure-limited settings, UAV-mounted access points can rapidly restore service availability for mobile ground users as demand and fleet availability evolve. Existing single-slot coverage formulations, however, c...
Bus priority is an effective way to improve traffic efficiency and sustainability. To achieve this, the Bus Priority Lane (BPL) is adopted to provide exclusive right-of-way for buses. However, the BPL is underutilized if the frequency of buses is low...
