Automated agent-based system for weather information

2009

Road accidents are well correlated with bad weather conditions. In traffic management, several strategies have been considered in order to reduce this kind of accidents. Weather problems can cause difficult situations for the traffic management decision-makers. They need to analyze and absorb a large quantity of information in order to solve some problems due to bad weather. An automated agent-based system is a good solution to help decision-makers in the management of weather information to road users in relation to traffic conditions.In this paper, a distributed system based in autonomous agents and rules for road weather information has been proposed. Also the detection procedure is expl…

Breeding success of a colony of Boat-billed Herons Cochlearius cochlearius (Ciconiiformes: Ardeidae) in pasturelands of Costa Rica

2014

The breeding success of a double-brooding colony of Boat-billed Herons Cochlearius cochlearius was studied in pasturelands of Costa Rica. Mean clutch size in the first clutches (2.9 eggs/nest) was higher than in second and repeat clutches (2.3 eggs/nest). Breeding success was similar in the first attempt and second attempts(20.7 % and 21.7 %, respectively). In both attempts earlier nests enjoyed a higher breeding success. Starvation of the youngest chicks within the nest and destruction of nests by bad weather conditions were the main factors related to nestling death. No effects of human activity on the reproduction of the breeding colony were observed. Rev. Biol. Trop. 54 (4): 1131-1134. …

Flights Delay Compensation 261/2004: A Challenge for Airline Companies?

2020

Globally, the large number of tourists, insufficient number of pilots, strikes or high traffic at airports, have generated an increase in the number of delayed flights. In the first 6 months of 2018, it is estimated that around 4.5 million passengers (compared to 3.2 million passengers in the first semester of 2017) were affected by cancellations, delays and overbookings of flights, while the eligible value compensation is approaching 2 billion euros. For these events, principally attributable to the air carrier, certain passenger rights have been established at European Union level, detailed in EC Regulation No 261/2004 establishing common rules for passenger compensation and aid in the ca…
