Social structures and speeding trucks

This study develops a Maple worksheet for experimenting with truck transportation, with incentives for speeding, and with the efficacy of various ways of controlling speeding. The model suggests that the total cost function, operating as a feedback mechanism, may influence a truck driver’s incentives for speeding and/or a firm’s incentives for encouraging or discouraging speeding.
