Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to assess the role of the built environment in influencing obesity Universiteit Antwerpen
Features of the built environment are increasingly being recognised as potentially important determinants of obesity. This has come about, in part, because of advances in methodological tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS has made the procurement of data related to the built environment easier and given researchers the flexibility to create a new generation of environmental exposure measures such as the travel time to the ...

Ambient air quality as risk factor for microscopic colitis - A geographic information system (GIS) study KU Leuven Universiteit Hasselt
BACKGROUND: Microscopic colitis (MC) is considered a multifactorial disease, strongly associated with smoking. However, little is known about the role of environmental factors such as ambient air pollution in MC pathophysiology. There is an overlap in components of cigarette smoke and ambient air pollution. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore an independent association between ambient air quality and MC. METHODS: A case-control study ...

Predicting individuals' car accident risk by trajectory, driving events, and geographical context Universiteit Gent
With the prevalence of GPS tracking technologiees, car insurance companies have started to adopt usage-based insurance policies, which adapt insurance premiums according to the customers' driving behavior. Although many risk models for assessing an individual driver's accident risk based on the history of driving trajectories, driving events, and exposure records exist, these models do not take the geographical context of the driven trajectories ...
