Distance-Based Charges; A Practical Strategy for More Optimal
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many costs of motor vehicle use are external, and a significant portion of the charges that vehicle users do pay are fixed, and therefore not marginal. This is economically inefficient and inequitable. Distance-based fees are the best way to charge for many costs imposed by vehicles, including road use, insurance, pollution emissions, and other environmental impacts. Distance-based charges are feasible and relatively inexpensive to implement with an “odometer audit,” which means a verified recording of odometer data. This paper discusses the benefits of distance-based pricing, proposes a specific odometer auditing program, and describes the benefits that are likely to result from such pricing.

Optimal Sliding-Mode Guidance Law for Fixed-Interval Propulsive Maneuvers
An optimal strategy based on minimum effort control and also with terminal positionconstraint is developed for an exoatmospheric interceptor with a fixed- interval guidance time. It isthen integrated with sliding-mode control theory to drive an optimal sliding-mode guidance law forfixed-interval guidance time. In addition, this guidance law is generalized for intercepting anarbitrarily time-var...

Abstract: Optimization of DG and capacitors is a nonlinear objective optimization problem with equal and unequal constraints, and the efficiency of meta-heuristic methods for solving optimization problems has been proven to any degree of complex it. As the population grows and then electricity consumption increases, the need for generation increases, which further reduces voltage, increases los...
متن کاملDevelopment and Practical Application of a Bridge Management System (J-BMS) in Japan
This paper presents a new bridge management system (J-BMS). It is integrated with a concrete bridge rating expert system that can be used to evaluate the serviceability of existing concrete bridges. The proposed J-BMS not only evaluates the performance of bridges, but also offers a rehabilitation strategy based on a combination of maintenance cost minimization and quality maximization. In this ...

Abstract: Today, the major source of income for Iranian municipalities is the unstable resources such as construction fines and charges and Such an approach has led them to the financial crisis, the challenge of urban management and ultimately to citizens' dissatisfaction. So, in the developed cities of the world, tourism is used as one of the main and influential drivers in analyzing the urba...
متن کاملHypothesis Spaces For Minimum Bayes R Speech Recogn
The Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) framework has been a successful strategy for the training of hidden Markov models for large vocabulary speech recognition. Practical implementations of MBR must select an appropriate hypothesis space and loss function. The set of word sequences and a word-based Levenshtein distance may be assumed to be the optimal choice but use of phoneme-based criteria appears to ...
