Developing Ubiquitous Road Accident Hazard Map (Case Study: Tabriz- Marand Road)
Modeling a road accident hazard zoning map to identify high-risk areas is a very effective step to reduce the resulting casualties. Due to the dynamic nature of many of the factors affecting the identification of these areas, traditional zoning mapping does not seem to be effective. In the field of ubiquitous modeling in the framework of the GIS, it is possible to produce a separate map at any ...
متن کاملThe ex ante incentive compatible core in exchange economies with and without indivisibilities
The ex ante incentive compatible core of an exchange economy with private information is the (standard) core of a socially designed characteristic function, which expresses the fact that coalitions allocate goods by means of random incentive compatible mechanisms. We rst survey some results in the case of perfectly divisible goods. Examples then show that the ex ante incentive compatible core ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Evaluation of Incentive Compatible Dynamic Mechanisms for Carrier Collaboration
This paper introduces a framework for carrier dynamic collaboration. In particular it proposes and analyzes dynamic collaborative mechanisms that are incentive compatible. The dynamic collaborative environment is characterized by a set of carriers that have a proprietary set of customers that generate a stream of random demands over time. The proposed collaborative mechanism is such that upon e...

متن کاملIncentives in Experiments with Objective Lotteries
When subjects in an experiment are given multiple decisions, their choices in one decision may be distorted by the choices made in others. An experiment’s payment mechanism is incentive compatible if no such distortions occur. Azrieli et al. (2014) provide two characterizations of incentive compatible mechanisms in a general decisiontheoretic framework in subjects’ choices are represented as Sa...
