In this paper, we study the propagating properties of traffic flow on a ring road with no ramp. The numerical results show that the traffic flow on the ring road with no ramp can be divided into three traffic states and that the propagating property and proportion of each state, and the...

In this paper, we propose an extended car-following model which takes into account the honk effect. The analytical and numerical results show that the honk effect improves the stability of traffic flow. The dependence of the stability on the properties of the honk effect is investigated in this...

Urban traffic is modeled using a dual graph representation of the urban transport network, where roads are mapped to nodes and intersections are mapped to links. The proposed model considers both the navigation of the vehicles in the network and the motion of the vehicles along roads. The...

We investigate the accumulated wealth distribution by adopting evolutionary games taking place on scale-free networks. The system self-organizes to a critical Pareto distribution (1897) of wealth P(m)∼m<Superscript>-(v+1)</Superscript> with 1.6 v 2.0 (which is in agreement with that of U.S. or Japan). Particularly, the...</superscript>

In this paper, we consider hazard function models with a change-point allowing for random censoring when the base-line hazard function is unknown with some parameters. A non-parametric estimator of the change-point is proposed in the context of counting process. The estimators of change-point...

This article studies the strong consistency of M-estimates in linear regression models directly from the minimization problem 75, where X1. X2, ... can be random observations of a p-dimensional random vector X, or that they are simply known nonrandom p-vectors. It is shown that the solution...
