Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) is a method for energy pricing in deregulated power systems. Loss and congestion cause different prices for energy at load or generation buses. In this pricing method there is a different between payments of customers and revenue of generators which is called Merchandizing Surplus (MS). Independent System Operator (ISO) receives MS and generally renders it to T...

Current traffic signals in Jordan suffer from severe congestion due to many factors, such as the considerable increase number of vehicles and use fixed timers, which still control existing signals. This condition affects travel demand on streets Jordan. study aims improve an intelligent road management system (IRTMS) derived human community-based genetic algorithm (HCBGA) mitigate signal Amman,...

Higher bicycle mode share has been suggested as part of a solution to reduce the burden congestion in urban areas. As strategies promote cycling are implemented, concerns have raised by some road users and stakeholders citing simulation-based traffic studies that indicate an increase generates major travel time delays via reduced vehicle speeds unless lanes provided. The current research invest...

This paper explores the crisis in our traditional shopping streets driven by rapid move to online. The examines nature of streets; why physical and local is important; conceptualizes distinguishing characteristics forms retail online alongside factors that determine choices; different approaches shaping future streets. Ultimately, it asks, what are key place-based intervention can help guarante...

Shedding of vortices is a common phenomenon in the atmosphere over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. However, it is unclear how these vortices of varying scales affect the flight performance of flying animals. In order to examine these interactions, we trained seven hawkmoths (Manduca sexta) (wingspan ~9 cm) to fly and feed in a wind tunnel under steady flow (controls) and in the von...
