Platoon-based traffic flow model for estimating breakdown probability at single-lane expressway bottlenecks

Shiomi, Yasuhiro; Yoshii, Toshio; Kitamura, Ryuichi - In: Transportation Research Part B: Methodological 45 (2011) 9, pp. 1314-1330

This study investigates the mechanism of traffic breakdown and establishes a traffic flow model that precisely simulates the stochastic and dynamic processes of traffic flow at a bottleneck. The proposed model contains two models of stochastic processes associated with traffic flow dynamics: a...

A model for cascading failures in scale-free networks with a breakdown probability

Wang, Jian-Wei; Rong, Li-Li - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 388 (2009) 7, pp. 1289-1298

, we propose a new cascading model with a breakdown probability. Adopting the initial load of a node j to be Lj … cascading failures when the tunable parameter α=0.5, while not relating to the breakdown probability. We furthermore explore the … robustness. We then analyze the effect of the breakdown probability on the network robustness and confirm by theoretical …

Integration versus non-integration: specific investments and ex-post resource distribution

Suzuki, Yutaka - In: International Economic Journal 19 (2005) 1, pp. 11-35

I adopt a non-cooperative game theoretic approach to an incomplete contracting transaction model, a la Grossman & Hart (1986), Hart & Moore (1990) and Bolton & Whinston (1993), consisting of one upstream firm and two downstream firms. When the downstream firms need to make relation-specific...
