An increasing data overload makes it difficult to deliver needed information to knowledge-workers and decision-makers in process-oriented enterprises. The main problem is to identify information being relevant for process participants and their activities. To cope with this challenge, enterprises crave for an intelligent and processoriented information logistics. The major challenge is to provi...

The present study analyzed the psychometric proprieties of the Adult Inventory of Procrastination (AIP) by McCown and Johnson (1989) with an adult Italian sample (n = 305) by comparing three construct models. Models included: 1) the original uni-dimensional structure; 2) a Spanish model with two components — lack of punctuality and lack of planning (Díaz Morales, Ferrari, Diaz, & Argumendo, 200...

We present a novel application of stochastic simulation and model-checking methods to determining whether bus services are fulfilling their service-level agreement to provide on-time departures of buses from stops sufficiently often. We use open data on predicted bus arrival times to parameterise a stochastic model of a particular bus route from Edinburgh city centre out to suburban and rural a...

OBJECTIVE To explore personality traits considered to be important in selection of trainees by consultant anaesthetists in a developing country. METHODS A questionnaire listing 28 traits was sent to 125 consultant anaesthetists. The raters were asked to mark each trait on a scale of 1 to 10, with one being least desirable and 10 as most desirable. Listing of five most desirable and one least ...

One of the recent problems in urban railways in Japan is that small delays often happen during rush hours. Because trains are running very densely, even a small delay propagates to succeeding trains and the delay tends to expand. In order to precisely evaluate the robustness of a railway system, a detailed simulation so called microscopic simulation in which components of a railway system are m...

This paper introduces a system design about bus management based on Wi-Fi module which implemented the basic functions of intelligent public transport system, such as monitoring time arrival, departing from station and reporting stations name automatically. can ensure punctuality vehicles to run, improve automation level stations, quality service. The has low cost thus it is more feasible. Syst...

In this current condition, people’s interest in using public transportation Jember is decreasing with a low load factor value below 50%. It can be caused by the quality of services provided service providers to satisfaction transport users. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method used determine level users District. The obtained from several attributes that belong Cartesian diagram. need i...

The energy-efficient train control can effectively reduce energy consumption of railway network by optimizing driving strategy. This paper proposed a method for strategy two-stage allocation redundant running time. time-optimal requires shortest time while highest consumption. By time, be transferred to energy-optimal under the premise that arrives on In first stage, part is allocated long coas...
