Various models that incorporate concepts from Non-Cooperative Game Theory (NCGT) are described in the transport literature. Game Theory provides powerful tools for analysing transport systems, but these tools have some drawbacks that should be recognised. In the current paper we review games...

The paper brings up many explanations regarding the understanding of connections between causes and effects, through simulated models. It wishes to establish and simulate some scripts witch concur to the development of a business.

A food demand system is proposed, based on demand for energy, variety, and tastes of foods. By specifying utility as an explicit function of these characteristics, the entire matrix of demand elasticities can be derived for n foods and one nonfood from prior specification of just four...

This report discusses the issues investigated during the first phase of a project which focuses on the development of a simulation program which will allow the study of platoon dynamics in both nominal and emergency scenarios. Preliminary issues include collision detection between the vehicles...

This paper proposes a conceptual framework for designing a traffic control scheme. It adopts a top-down approach to defining major design steps starting with high-level feature definition. With the desired features defined, the top-down approach then identifies and defines moves and related...

In this report, a comparison is drawn between the casualty rates per failure on an automated highway system (AHS) according to the longitudinal control configuration used. The comparison is drawn between closed-spaced platooning, vehicle following of the types used in Autonomous Intelligent...

In this paper, the problem of modeling and control design of a computer controlled brake system is addressed. A nonlinear model for the brake system is developed by analyzing the input-output data obtained from the test bench. A controller for the brake system is designed by applying feedback...
