Dans un modèle à base d'activités, les ménages et les personnes sont utilisés comme unités de décision de base, faisant des choix importants pour leurs activités, y compris le nombre de véhicules qu'un ménage choisit de posséder, le type et la quantité d'activités réalisées, et les emplacements des destinations clés telles que le travail et l'école. Les modèles à base d'activités utilisent généralement la micro-simulation, dans laquelle ces choix sont représentés au niveau du ménage ou de la personne individuelle. La synthèse de population est utilisée pour créer les listes de ménages et de personnes, ou population synthétique, qui constituent la base de la simulation de ces choix. 2, record 1, French, - synth%C3%A8se%20de%20population

Main Electronic Assembly(MEA). The MEA consists of a frame assembly and an angulation head. The frame assembly includes the radar system control circuits and the electronic components necessary for target detection processing. An AHA [aerial head assembly] mounting plate, attached to the top of the angulation head, secures the AHA to the MEA. A bearing scale indicator, at the base of the angulation head, can be used for checking the bearing settings and arcs. A level bubble permits accurate levelling of the MEA. 2, record 9, English, - main%20electronic%20assembly
