Automated enforcement red-light cameras (RLC) have been widely adopted by municipalities around the world as a measure of curbing red-light running (RLR) at signalized intersections and reducing the cost of law enforcement. While a consensus has not yet been reached about whether RLC in general...

Purpose: With the increasing awareness of global warming and the important role of last mile distribution in logistics activities, the purpose of this paper is to build an environmental and effective last mile distribution model considering fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission, vehicle...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a deeper understanding of customer service/service quality in business‐to‐business contexts. Design/methodology/approach – An in‐depth case study was used to discover the perceptions of both key individuals in the supplying company and...

Evaporative cooling technique, one of the most widely used methods, is essential to both energy conservation and environment protection. This contribution introduces a global optimization method for indirect evaporative cooling systems with coupled heat and mass transfer processes based on the...

Improving heat transfer performance is very beneficial to energy conservation because heat transfer processes widely existed in energy utilization systems. In this contribution, in order to effectively optimize convective heat transfer, such two principles as the field synergy principle and the...
