... with clear weather (168.4 cm), with gap-speed relationships steepest in dense fog but negligible in medium fog. Vehicle heterogeneity strongly shapes risk: cars maintain dangerously narrow gaps with other cars, and two-wheelers fail to increase gaps with speed, while heavy commercial vehicles adopt safer...

... risk-taking crossing. Additionally, pedestrian risk-taking was reduced by increasing both time indexes. Rainy weather conditions also reduced pedestrians’ risk-taking behaviour. Elasticity analysis indicated that parameters such as pedestrians’ conflict with vehicles at the first or second half...

... of this study is to assess students’ trip behaviour with respect to mode choice in favourable and unfavourable weather conditions. For this purpose, the data of 380 trips to and from the University of Tabriz, obtained by way of questionnaires, were used, and a binary logit model was employed for the purpose...

... and therefore on the resilience of information and control systems. Infrastructure procurement must take future climate-critical and weather conditions into account. Further work and the sharing of research and experience needs to be undertaken for better understanding of: the impact of weather...

... Manchester in north-west England as an example, this paper explores how these changes may have impacted local weather and air quality. Such impacts are sometimes more imagined than real, but in other cases they provide industrial advantage or are detrimental to human activity and even health. It is proposed...

...C. D. Hewitt, PhD; C. M. Goodess, PhD; R. A. Betts, PhD As evidence of climate change increases, so too are the effects of weather events and climate variability on civil engineering projects becoming increasingly recognised and understood. The changes indicated by the UKCIP02 scenarios...

... change on London's transport systems, based on the findings of a research study undertaken for the London Climate Change Partnership between 2004 and 2005. Recent extreme weather events have had significant impact on London's transport systems; for example, the effect of high temperatures on London...
