The mobility of modern metropolises strongly relies on urban rail transit (URT) systems, and such a heavy dependence causes that even minor service interruptions would make the URT systems unsustainable. This study aims at optimally dispatching the ground feeder-bus to coordinate with the urban rails' operation for eliminating the effect of unexpected service interruptions in URT corridors. A f...

The desirable goal in passenger transportation is moving more people in fewer vehicles. This goal, in respect of road transport, can be attained by encouraging public transport modes like buses by assigning priority. This paper is concerned with the conceptual framework of a micro simulation model of highly heterogeneous traffic flow and application of the model to study the impact of exclusive...

Male and female urban bus drivers were studied at work during everyday bus driving in urban traffic (work condition) and watching educational programs (comparison condition). The results showed that (a) both sexes had significantly higher adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol excretion levels during work than during the comparison session; (b) during work and inactivity, there were no signifi...

The backplane bus network protocol is a mechanism to facilitate the standard networking on the backplane bus. Usually a link-level network protocol is designed and implemented to provide the bus networking. In this paper we introduce a scheduling analysis for real-time communication in the backplane network. Unlike traditional communication analysis, we must consider the write posting, a featur...

Automotive body styling appraisement is very important for body styling design. Because there is not tangible standard at the structure ascertaining of artificial neural network(ANN) and improvement of stability is needed for ANN inside black box characteristic, a bus-styling appraisement method using extension theory-based artificial neural network is presented. The key techniques of quasi-thr...

In this paper, a new intelligent scheduling algorithm, which can improve the network utilization rate, had been present based on analyzing the vehicle CAN bus network schedulability in the vehicle CAN bus electrical control system. Through the mathematical modeling of the vehicle CAN bus network control system, simulation modeling of the 3-loop CAN bus system and computer simulation research ba...

the harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. this paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. the objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

This paper presents a method to allocate the transmission network costs to users based on nodal pricing approach by regulating the nodal prices from the marginal point to the new point. Transmission nodal pricing based on marginal prices is not able to produce enough revenue to recover the total transmission network costs. However, according to the previous studies in this context, this met...
