bus rapid transit is an innovative, high capacity, lower cost public transit solution in metropolitan cities. idea is to dedicate lanes for quick and efficient transport of passengers to their destinations. in the present investigation the environmental impact assessment of bus rapid transit  in tehran metropolitan city is brought out. for this purpose bus rapid transit lane no. 10 is investiga...

Gossiping is an information dissemination problem in which each node of a communication network has a unique piece of information that must be transmitted to all the other nodes A bus network is a network of processing elements that communicate by sending messages along buses in a sequence of calls We assume that i each node can participate to at most one call at a time ii a node can either rea...

Abstract: Voltage instability is a major threat for security of power systems. Preserving voltage security margin at a certain limit is a vital requirement for today’s power systems. Assessment of voltage security margin is a challenging task demanding sophisticated indices. In this paper, for the purpose of on line voltage security assessment a new index based on the correlation characteristic...

Never before humans had access to so much data so easily; however, this scenario disappears as we move away from a computer. In our cities, urban services are provided via supports, which practically have not changed in a century: bus-stop shelters, metro-stations panels and screens, maps or urban furniture 1 . This scenario brings up the opportunity to refresh the idea of services that a city ...

This paper proposes a feed-forward control model for SWB6105 parallel hybrid electric urban bus (PHEUB) by using Matlab/Simulink. In order to optimize the fuel economy, balance the battery state of charge (SOC), and satisfy the requirements of the vehicle performance and drivability as well, a logic threshold torque distribution control strategy (LTTDCS) incorporating with an instantaneous opti...

This research explores the application of archived data from Automated Data Collection Systems (ADCS) to transport planning with a focus on bus passenger travel behavior, including Origin-Destination (OD) inference, using London as a case study. It demonstrates the feasibility and ease of applying trip-chaining to infer bus passenger OD from smart card transactions and Automatic Vehicle Locatio...
