  • Can turbo-roundabouts and restricted crossing U-Turn be effective solutions for urban three-leg intersections

    Open AccessP Fernandes, Margarida C CoelhoARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2023

    This research explored the potential of replacing conventional single-lane roundabouts by turbo-roundabouts and yield- and stop-controlled restricted crossing U-Turn (RCUT) at intersections located in urban corridors. A simulation approach based on a well-integrated assessment of traffic performance, emissions and driving volatility indicators of alternative intersection designs (AIDs) is therefore a major contribution of the study. The paper als…

  • A combined framework of Biplots and Machine Learning for real-world driving volatility and emissions data interpretation

    Open AccessElisabete Ferreira, E Macedo et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2023

    Advanced visualization techniques can be useful for a better understanding of driving behavior and vehicle emissions in real-time. This study used classic and sparse HJ-biplots to examine the relationship between driving behavior, vehicle engine, exhaust emissions, and route type variables. Different Machine Learning classifiers were applied. Second-by-second vehicle dynamic, engine, and emissions data were collected from three light-duty vehicle…

  • MobiWise: Eco-routing decision support leveraging the Internet of Things

    Open AccessAna Aguiar, P Fernandes et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2022

    Eco-routing distributes traffic in cities to improve mobility sustainability. The implementation of eco-routing in real-life requires a diverse set of information, including different kinds of sensors. These sensors are often already integrated in city infrastructure, some are technologically outdated, and are often operated by multiple entities. In this work, we provide a use case-oriented system design for an eco-routing service leveraging Inte…

  • Genetic Homogeneity Across Bantu-Speaking Groups from Mozambique and Angola Challenges Early Split Scenarios between East and West Bantu Populations

    Isabel Alves, Margarida Coelho et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2011Cited by: 4References: 54

    The large scale spread of Bantu-speaking populations remains one of the most debated questions in African population history. In this work we studied the genetic structure of 19 Bantu-speaking groups from Mozambique and Angola using a multilocus approach based on 14 newly developed compound haplotype systems (UEPSTRs), each consisting of a rapidly evolving short tandem repeat (STR) closely linked to a unique event polymorphism (UEP). We compared …

  • Human Microevolution and the Atlantic Slave Trade: A Case Study from São Tomé

    Margarida Coelho, Margarida C Coelho et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology2008Cited by: 4References: 25

    Populations derived from the Atlantic slaving process provide unique opportunities for studying key evolutionary determinants of current patterns of human cultural and biological variation. Examination of the genetic patterning of the small plantation island of São Tomé (Gulf of Guinea) using a study design that avoids the use of preconceived ethno-linguistic labels to define genetic sampling units reveals that, despite the fact that maximum dist…
