Private vehicle-based crowdshipping for intercity express transportation: Feasibility assessment

External costs of intercity truck freight transportation

From a societal perspective, it is desirable for all transportation users to pay their full social (private and external) costs. We estimate four general types of external costs for intercity freight trucking and compare them with the private costs incurred by carriers. Estimated external costs include: accidents (fatalities, injuries, and property damage); emissions (air pollution and greenhou...

Feasibility of intercity and trans-Atlantic telerobotic remote ultrasound: assessment facilitated by a nondedicated bandwidth connection.

We discuss the concept of ultrasound imaging at a distance by presenting the evaluation of a customized, lightweight, human-safe robotic arm for low-force, long-distance, telerobotic ultrasonography. We undertook intercity and trans-Atlantic telerobotic ultrasound simulation from master stations located in New York, New York and Munich, Germany, and imaged a phantom and a human volunteer locate...

The multimodal trip planning system of intercity transportation in Taiwan

The multimodal trip planning system (MTPS) described in this paper can efficiently identify reasonable journeys. Our methodologies could be implemented in future transit trip information systems. An effective MTPS would be of value to transit agencies or administrators due to the large number of different yet related characteristics of the transit network. In Taiwan, no successful MTPS exists o...

Feasibility in Transportation

In this paper we consider a new type of mixed integer programming problem: Transportation Network with Supply Eating Arcs. This problem arises from an application in intelligent telecommunications] networks, IN. It contains within its deenition many classical mixed integer programming problems. The problem is deened as a transportation network with an additional condition. For an arc to have po...
