Minimising worst-case scenario downtime for rail transit networks
FRS researchers developed a new optimisation model to minimise system downtime based on a study of Singapore’s mass rapid transit (MRT).
Linking power consumption to Covid-19 response in Singapore
In a recent study, FRS researchers use household electricity consumption as an indicator of residents’ daily behaviours to analyse how they responded collectively during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Modelling heat plumes that promote air flow
In dense urban areas, buoyancy-driven airflow could improve natural ventilation and make city-dwellers more comfortable. FRS researchers have modelled heat plumes in 3D to understand these mechanisms.
