Research Recommendations. This three-phase study concluded that: • WB-67 was the most common heavy truck observed and its use as a design vehicle is warranted. • Generating heavy truck fleets by location produces the best model in VISSIM. • If time and resources permit, the Priority rule is the preferred method for gap acceptance modeling in VISSIM. • Critical gaps of 5.4s - 6.4s should be considered when modeling heavy trucks in simulation. • Modifying the geometry of roundabouts can lead to enhancements for heavy trucks. However, project context should be the primary consideration. • Roundabout metering affects heavy truck speed, metering devices are most influential if placed 115 to 230-ft in advance of the yield markings.
Research Recommendations. Further longitudinal research into the synergistic effects of climate and sedentarization is necessary to map out impacts on livelihood assets in greater detail in order to identify additional intervention points. One specific area the provides rich potential for study is the exploration of gender impacts of these co-occurring transitions. Previous research indicates the impacts of climate change on food security are highly specific to gender and that pre-existing social stratifications have the potential to be worsened due to the impacts of climate change (XxXxxx, et al., 2015; Xxxxxx et al., 2014). Better understanding of gendered burdens will ensure that the interventions designed to address livelihood challenges take into account the unique needs of women and girls. Previous research done by Xxxxxxxx et al propose effects on pathogens, hosts, vectors, and infectious disease epidemiology itself due to changing climates (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2009). However, disease dynamics are highly complex with many interrelated anthropogenic and natural elements. Thus, it has been hard to predict the location and timing of these anticipated outbreaks, making their prevention increasingly challenging. These challenges highlight the need for increased animal disease surveillance systems in areas with significant vector-borne diseases. Moving forward, further research into developing surveillance systems to protect cattle health will prove essential for protecting this valuable resource which is intimately linked with many of the elements needed for sustainable livelihoods.
