1 To improve the corridor efficiency during large planned special events, an integrated strategy with 2 Park-and-ride (P&R) and bus contraflow is presented in this paper. This strategy eases the safety or 3 performance limitations of the two congestion mitigation measures applied alone. A qualitative analysis first 4 shows that P&R measure increases the transit demand on bus contraflow lane, wh...

For the stable high-luminosity operation and luminosity-increase, the electron and positron storage rings of the KEK B-Factory (KEKB) is equipped with various beam instrumentations, which have being working well since the start of the commissioning in December, 1998. Details and performance of the beam-position monitor system based on the spectrum analysis using DSPs, the turn by turn BPM with ...

We propose to generate steady-state microbunching in a storage ring with a reversible seeding scheme. High gain harmonic generation (HGHG) and echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) are two promising methods for microbunching linac electron beams. Because both schemes increase the energy spread of the seeded beam, they cannot drive a coherent radiator turn-by-turn in a storage ring. However, r...

ITE JOURNAL / SEPTEMBER 1998 MANY URBAN AND SUBURBAN arterials are congested with little immediate hope of relief. Access management and better coordination between land use and transportation offer long-term hope for developing areas but little short-term promise for developed areas. Transportation engineers in many places have done as much as they can with actuated signals, signal systems, mu...

LINK TO PAPER The Road Ahead: Using ArcPad Maps in Census Bureau Field Activities Track: Census and Geo-Demographics Author(s): Andrea Johnson The Census Bureau is exploring the feasibility of using handheld census computers in future enumeration activities. Recently, in Sussex Co DE, the Census Bureau tested the feasibility of using maps on hand-held computer and the increases in productivity ...

An important difference exists between the way humans communicate route knowledge and the turn-by-turn route directions provided by the majority of current navigation services. Navigation services present route directions with the same amount of detail regardless the route segment’s significance in the instructions, user’s distance from the destination, and finally the level of user’s familiari...

1 Introduction " Before there were computers, we could distinguish persons from non-persons on the basis of an ability to participate in conversations. But now, we have hybrids operating between person and non persons with whom we can talk in ordinary language. " (Colby 1999). Human machine conversation as a technology integrates different areas where the core is language, and the computational...
