Joint optimization of pavement design, resurfacing and maintenance strategies with history-dependent deterioration models

Lee, Jinwoo; Madanat, Samer - In: Transportation Research Part B: Methodological 68 (2014) C, pp. 141-153

The subject of this paper is the joint optimization of pavement design, maintenance and resurfacing (M&R) strategies. This problem is solved for continuous pavement state, continuous time, infinite planning horizon and non-Markovian (history-dependent) pavement deterioration model. This paper...

On the continuum approximation of the on-and-off signal control on dynamic traffic networks

Han, Ke; Gayah, Vikash V.; Piccoli, Benedetto; Friesz, … - In: Transportation Research Part B: Methodological 61 (2014) C, pp. 73-97

In the modeling of traffic networks, a signalized junction is typically treated using a binary variable to model the on-and-off nature of signal operation. While accurate, the use of binary variables can cause problems when studying large networks with many intersections. Instead, the signal...

A partial differential equation formulation of Vickrey’s bottleneck model, part II: Numerical analysis and computation

Han, Ke; Friesz, Terry L.; Yao, Tao - In: Transportation Research Part B: Methodological 49 (2013) C, pp. 75-93

The Vickrey model, originally introduced in Vickrey (1969), is one of the most widely used link-based models in the current literature in dynamic traffic assignment (DTA). One popular formulation of this model is an ordinary differential equation (ODE) that is discontinuous with respect to its...

What about regions in regional science? An exercise of convergence using different geographic scales of European Union

Resende, Guilherme; Cravo, Tulio - European Regional Science Association - 2013

the empirical results caused by the use of different spatial scales in the analysis of convergence process of European … (MAUP). Thus, convergence processes among EU15 are examined across three spatial scales often used in applied work, namely …, NUTS1, NUTS2 and NUTS3, between 2000 and 2008. The paper suggests that convergence pattern of EU regions depends on the …
