DOI: 10.1007/s00701-017-3095-2
Abstract: BackgroundChronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is a common condition that is effectively managed by burrhole drainage but requires repeat surgery in a significant minority of patients. The Cambridge Chronic Subdural Haematoma Trial (CCSHT) was a randomised… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10707-021-00435-0
Abstract: Given a transportation network, a population, and a set of destinations, the goal of Conflict-Free Evacuation Route Planning (CF-ERP) is to produce routes that minimize the evacuation time for the population with no spatiotemporal movement-conflicts.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11067-016-9323-0
Abstract: Household behavior and dynamic traffic flows are the two most important aspects of hurricane evacuations. However, current evacuation models largely overlook the complexity of household behavior leading to oversimplified traffic assignments and, as a result,… read more here.
