This study aimed to determine the economic burden incurred from road traffic injuries in Thailand. It was designed as a prevalence-based cost-of-illness analysis from a societal perspective, employing a micro-costing bottom-up approach. It covered direct medical cost, direct non-medical cost, and indirect cost or productivity loss. Productivity loss covers the costs of work absence or death due...

In diesem Beitrag stellen wir die Archäologische Sandbox vor: Ein Tangible User Interface (TUI) mit dem archäologische Ausgrabungsstätten und dort gefundene Artefakte exploriert werden können. Das System zielt auf den Einsatz in Museen ab, die ihren Besuchern den Zusammenhang von ausgestellten Exponaten und der Ausgrabungsstätte näherbringen möchten, an der diese gefunden wurden. Den Kern des T...

The long and winding road of user modeling is grounded in different epistemological assumptions exploring different dimensions of the problem. User-modeling research has explored different domains, identified important distinctions underlying different approaches within user modeling research, and created a number of challenging research problems. These issues are explored in the context of hig...

In this working paper the regional impacts of road pricing on cars are analysed taking into account externality effects from transportation on wages and productivity. In the paper the direct impacts from changes in transport costs on level of wages and productivity (=direct externality effects) have been estimated. The direct and derived impacts of road pricing have been analysed with AKF's loc...

This Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) Information Sheet updates the results of a previous Bureau study (BTRE 2007, Working paper 71) identifying long-term trends in urban traffic growth and estimating the consequent impacts of that traffic growth on road network congestion levels within the Australian capital cities. Such studies attempt a suitable quantificati...

Forest road construction is the most costly operation in forestry. Road designing and construction in unsuitable areas may increase construction and maintenance costs and also cause many environmental impacts. Therefore, it is required to pay more attention to forest road design. In this research, we tried to introduce an appropriate method for locating forest roads using GIS and AHP simultaneo...
