Distribution of distributed generation resources in distribution systems has several advantages, including reducing losses, improving voltage profiles, reducing pollution, and increasing system reliability. However, one of the most important points regarding the placement of these resources in distribution networks is economic issues and the return on investment and the increase in profits from...

Abstract The construction of toll roads in Klaten Regency supports community connectivity increasing economic growth and accessibility to tourist areas around the southern part Java Island. location this study is Polanharjo District, Regency. area has geological conditions, sandy volcanic ash, shallow groundwater levels accompanied by a history earthquakes that have occurred greater than Mw. 5....

We propose a framework for formal analysis of privacy in location based services such as anonymous electronic toll collection. We give a formal definition of privacy, and apply it to the VPriv scheme for vehicular services. We analyse the resulting model using the ProVerif tool, concluding that our privacy property holds only if certain conditions are met by the implementation. Our analysis inc...

This paper uses an analytical-simulation model to examine the optimal extent and welfare effects of pricing reforms for passenger transportation in Mexico City. The model incorporates travel by auto, microbus, public bus, and rail, plus externalities from local and global air pollution, traffic congestion, and road accidents. In our benchmark case, the optimal gasoline tax is $2.72 (29.6 pesos)...

The optimal locating of facilities has large effects on economic benefits, providing satisfactory service and levels of customer satisfaction. One of the new topics discussed in location problems is hub location and hub facilities are subject to unpredictable disruptions. This paper proposes a nonlinear integer model for reliable single allocation hub location problem that considers backup hub,...

1 We extend the existing toll pricing studies with fixed demand to stochastic demand. A new and 2 practical second-best pricing problem with uncertain demand is proposed and formulated as a 3 stochastic mathematical program with equilibrium constraints. In view of the problem structure, 4 we develop a tailored global optimization algorithm. This algorithm incorporates a sample 5 average approxi...
