Description
To address the dearth of knowledge about person-based and trip-level exposure, we developed the Icarus model. Icarus uses mesoscale traffic model—activity-based model—to analyze the heat exposure of regions of interest at an individual level. The goal with Icarus was to design accurate, granular models of population and temperature behavior for a target region, which could be transformed into a heat exposure model by means of simulation and spatial-temporal joining. By combining and implementing the most robust software and data available, Icarus was able to capture person-based exposure with unparalleled detail. Here we describe the model methodology. We use the metropolitan region of Phoenix, Arizona, USA to carry out a case study using Icarus.

Description
A methodology is presented for synthetic water distribution networks that advances previous methods by Ahmad et al. 2022 (SyNF v1.0). The methodology describes the development changes for v1.1 of the model. This includes major updates to the handling of global variables, parameterization of water treatment plants (WTP) and tanks, and the inclusion of flexibility in handling different demand estimates. The model advancements were designed around true data for San Juan and Mayaguez (Puerto Rico), but are generalizable to other regions.
