INTRODUCCIÓN. Una parte importante de países y ciudades se han comprometido a la neutralidad de carbono en 2050. Incluso algunos van más allá y hablan de autosuficiencia energética en las ciudades. Ante estos retos mayúsculos, las energías renovables se presentan como una de las opciones principales a tener en cuenta. Conocer su potencial a gran es...

In a SmartCities world, with the citizen in the center of all the decisions, the measurement of environmental noise cannot be limited to provide an equivalent level captured over a certain time in a place of interest. By means of WHO reports and other studies, we know that the type of noise (traffic, anthropomorphic, industrial, etc.) has a differe...

In the new paradigm of the smart cities world, public opinion is one of the most important issues in the new conception of urban space and its corresponding regulations. The data collection in terms of environmental noise cannot only be related to the value of the equivalent noise level L A e q of the places of interest. According to WHO reports, t...

This paper presents a data-driven agent-based simulation of individual mobility based on spatio-temporal data from mobile phones. The model developed is embedded within the CityScope framework, a platform used as decision support system for urban planning. This work analyzes the Andorra visitors' flow and traffic congestion through an agent-based v...

Noise pollution is a critical factor and it has an important impact on public health, with the relationship between road traffic noise (RTN) and several illnesses in urban areas of particular concern. Andorra is currently developing a national strategy regarding noise pollution in their urban environments. The Ministry of Environment, Agriculture a...

This paper uses mobile phone data (Call Detail Record) to analyze backcountry skiers’ dynamics in avalanche terrain. A case study is conducted in Andorra using data from February 2018. In this study, mobile phone data is combined with the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) cartog-raphy to analyse the behaviour of people in avalanche terrain. T...

In recent years different remote sensing techniques have been proved to be very useful for snow measurement and monitoring in alpine environments. Terrestrial Laser Scanner has been tested in different environments and conditions and presented a remarkable performance and accuracy to measure spacial and temporal distribution of snow depth at differ...

The ALLAUS.AD web-based platform is created to centralize and homogenize all data related to avalanches, giving information that helps to improve the products already available, provide quick access and visualization. This platform will be composed of 3 main sections: 1) Information (con-ditions and advisory, terrain and group), 2) Dissemination (n...

This paper describes a case study for the assessment of the energy generation potential of PV systems installed on building rooftops in two mountainous areas (Escaldes-Engordany in the Principality of Andorra and Tavascan in Catalonia). Their location, in the middle of the Pyrenees, means that the surrounding mountains generate shadows that can red...

To accurately characterize the ski industry's risk to future climate change and varied quality of snow conditions, it is important to assess how the industry has managed and adapted to contemporary anomalously warm ski seasons. This is the first temporal climate change analogue study to use higher resolution daily performance data at the individual...
