This paper shows that the driving simulator may be used as a platform in which to study workload and workload performance relationship. The participants were 8 adults with valid driver’s licenses. After a familiarization drive participants drove a route with five equidistant and symmetrical segments using a map and turn-by-turn directions. Upon completion participants retraced their journey wit...

This paper provides a system dynamic model for reducing the number of motorway accidents due to wrong-way driving. Motorway accidents are often fatal due to high speeds. It is therefore necessary to carry out all the possible countermeasures in order to achieve adequate traffic management. One of the reasons for motorway accidents is driving in the wrong direction. Based on the analysis of the ...

The neutral Higgs boson is expected to have a mass in the region 90-150 GeV/c2 in various schemes within the Minimal Supersymmetric extension to the Standard Model. A first generation Muon Collider is uniquely suited to investigate the mass, width and decay modes of the Higgs boson, since the coupling of the Higgs to muons is expected to be strong enough for it to be produced in the s channel m...

Mobile phones have become ubiquitous in daily life. They are also becoming more powerful with more computation and a variety of sensors embedded in them. We have built deSCribe, a context-aware phone-based navigational aid. The application provides turn-by-turn directions from the user’s current location to a requested destination. It provides information about the surroundings by processing th...

SSRL designed and built beam position electronics for its SPEAR storage ring. We designed the electronics, using digital receiver technology, for highly accurate turn by turn measurements of both the position and arrival time of the beam, allowing us to use this system to measure the betatron and synchrotron tunes of the beam. The dynamic range of the system allows us to measure the properties ...

We study random assignment economies with expectedutility agents, each of them eventually obtaining a single object. Inspired on Hylland and Zeckhauser’s (1979) Pseudomarket mechanism (PM) and on a serial dictatorship, we introduce the Sequential Pseudomarket (SP) where groups of agents are called turn by turn and participate in a pseudomarket for the remaining objects. To measure e¢ ciency, we...
