A general framework is developed for analyzing a wide class of vehicle dispatching strategies for bulk arrival, bulk service queues. A simple derivation of the queue length transform for the imbedded Markov chain is provided and a new computational procedure is developed for finding the moments of the queue length distribution. Extensive computational tests are reported which demonstrate that t...

The Expanding Ring Search is a useful technique for reducing the overhead of the broadcast storm problem when searching in multi-hop wireless network for Adaptive Trajectory Service. The algorithm searches successively larger areas to find the needed vehicle location information, trajectory service, and wireless network traffic condition. We propose expanding ring search with multi-hop cooperat...

The University for Development Studies is a public university in Ghana that owns and manages fleet of vehicles. university, however, faces numerous challenges terms maintaining its Reports from the various campuses indicate most vehicles broke down were at mechanic shops needed urgent attention. In order to propose solutions university's problems, study sought discover causes vehicles' frequent...

The CapTA model is developed to capture the capacity phenomena in passenger traffic assignment to a transit network. These pertain to the interaction of passenger traffic and vehicle traffic: vehicle seat capacity drives the internal comfort, vehicle total capacity determines internal comfort and also platform waiting, passenger flows at vehicle egress and access interplay with dwell time, dwel...

This paper considers how the information enabled by information technology (IT) is implicated in organizational action. It begins by proposing that the relationship between technology appropriations and an organization’s informal advice networks is one useful way to understand how the information that is created, modified, transmitted, and stored through the use of IT can lead to organizational...

Energy saving and environmental protection are still two important themes in the vehicle industry. The recent rapid transition energy markets technological advances demand-side interventions have renewed attention on driving behavior of consumers. inappropriate gearshift performance gearbox would not only increase fuel consumption, but also interfere with driver’s emotional state, so that drive...

panies to acquire in-house binding and finishing equipment. However, growth in demand for specialized bindery workers who assist skilled bookbinders will be slowed as binding machinery continues to become more efficient. New technology requires a considerable investment in capital expenditures and employee training; therefore, computer skills and mechanical aptitude are increasingly important. ...
