This paper proposes a unified approach to modeling heterogonous risk-taking behavior in route choice based on the theory of stochastic dominance (SD). Specifically, the first-, second-, and third-order stochastic dominance (FSD, SSD, TSD) are respectively linked to insatiability, risk-aversion and ruin-aversion within the framework of utility maximization. The paths that may be selected by trav...

The traditional reliability of power supply only focuses on the continuity and does not include impact quality customers in assessment. In this paper, we use “the ability grid to provide continuously available customers” as criterion reflect more realistically level perceived by customers. This assessment, which is closer customer’s perspective, can also be used a basis for quality-based pricin...
