Per-Mile Premiums for Auto Insurance
Americans drive 2,360,000,000,000 miles each year, far outstripping other nations. Every time a driver takes to the road, and with each mile she drives, she exposes herself and others to the risk of accident. Insurance premiums are only weakly linked to mileage, however, and have largely lump-sum characteristics. The result is too much driving and too many accidents. This paper begins by develo...
متن کاملEffects of Angles and Offsets in Crash Simulations of Automobiles with Light Trucks
Two series of finite element and lumped parameter model vehicle-to-vehicle frontal crash simulations were conducted. The vehicles modeled are the 1994 Chevrolet C-1500 light truck and the 1997 Ford Crown Victoria. The first set of simulations involves fully-engaged angled impact. Angles range from +50° to -50°. The second set simulates offset impacts in head-on vehicle crashes. The front-end ov...

متن کاملFuel hedging and airline operating costs
Fuel hedging is a common risk management tool used in the airline industry. But past studies have not addressed the question of whether fuel hedging creates any benefit to airline operations. This study is the first work that empirically examines the role of fuel hedging in reducing airlines’ operating costs. Using US airlines data from 2000 through 2012, we find that, after accounting for the ...
متن کاملLocation-Allocation and Scheduling of Inbound and Outbound Trucks in Multiple Cross-Dockings Considering Breakdown Trucks
This paper studies multiple cross-dockings where the loads are transferred from origins (suppliers) to destinations (customers) through cross-docking facilities. Products are no longer stored in intermediate depots and incoming shipments are consolidated based on customer demands and immediately delivered to them to their destinations. In this paper, each cross-docking has a covering radius tha...
