* Jia Yu-han(贾宇涵), Wu Jian-ping(吴建平), Du Yi-man(杜怡曼), Qi Ge-qi(奇格奇) a Department of Civil Engineering, Tsinghua University, 100084, Beijing, China Abstract: Considering lateral influence from adjacent lane, an improved car-following model is developed in this paper. Then linear and non-linear stability analyses are carried out. The modified Korteweg-de Vries (MKdV) equation is derived with the ...

A simple car-following model that includes the reaction time of drivers is analyzed by numerical continuation techniques for the case of five cars on a ring. A two-dimensional bifurcation diagram is computed that summarizes the dynamics of steady states, oscillating solutions, collisions, and stopping as a function of model parameters. Further, a mechanism is proposed by which different spatial...

Cardiac stem cells (CSCs) are the most promising and effective candidates for the therapy of cardiac regenerative diseases; however, they have marked limitations. For instance, the implantation of CSCs is hampered by factors such as their sustainability and long-term durability. Gene modification appears to be the most effective method of optimizing CSCs and gene therapy trials have demonstrate...

the purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of moon phases on suicides, car accidents, and psychic crises. the data were obtained from archives of imam khomeini hospital, traffic office, and razi psychiatric hospital in tabriz. the sample consisted of 808 suicide cases and 6301 cases of city car accidents in 1989, and 3632 cases admitted to psychiatric hospital during the yea...

Activation of prospective memory (PM) representations following awakening has been proposed to modulate expression of the cortisol awakening response (CAR). However, experimental testing of this hypothesis is still missing. This study examined the effect of a naturalistic PM-related manipulation on the CAR in a sample of 35 preschool-aged children. The CAR was assessed on two study days (0 and ...

In this paper we present an approach to control a real car with brain signals. To achieve this, we use a brain computer interface (BCI) which is connected to our autonomous car. The car is equipped with a variety of sensors and can be controlled by a computer. We implemented two scenarios to test the usability of the BCI for controlling our car. In the first scenario our car is completely brain...

The following problem is well-known under various forms from car manufacturing and has been presented in Discrete Applied Mathematics(136) by T.Epping, W.Hochstättler and P.Oertel as a combinatorial optimization problem: cars have to be painted in two colors in a sequence where each car occurs twice; assign the two colors to the two occurrences of each car so as to minimize the number of color ...

in this paper a control system has been designed to improve traffic conditions in car following maneuver. there are different methods to design a control system. in this paper design approach is based on the fuzzy sliding mode control (fsmc) system. the aim of designing fsmc system is to achieve safe and desire longitudinal distance and less lateral displacement. in order to control and obtain ...

From common driving experiences, car drivers are unwilling to follow heavy vehicles owing to speed and visibility obstructions, and most of them choose to change lanes to mitigate such obstructions. In literature, however, the impact of heavy vehicles on lane-changing decisions of following car drivers has rarely been investigated. In this study, a methodology for shedding light on such impact ...
