A new model for overtaking on highway is proposed. The model considers such important factors as the reactive delay time for vehicle acceleration, deceleration, and lane-changing, the safe distance for car-following and the distance for overtaking. The time required for overtaking, the time loss...

In this work, we investigate how the random long-range interactions (RLRIs) affect the directed transport properties of inertial particles in networks. The particles are driven by periodic time-dependent external forces, under the influence of an asymmetric periodic potential of the inertial...

In recent years several global blackouts have drawn a lot of attention to security problems in electric power transmission systems. Here we analyze the cascading failure in complex power networks based on the local preferential redistribution rule of the broken node’s load, where the weight of...

Two huge blackouts, occurred separately on 30 and 31 July 2012 in India, spread over half the country when three of its five regional grids collapsed, leaving hundreds of millions of people without government-supplied electricity and ringing once again alarm bells with security problems in...

With the rapid development of information networks, negative impacts of rumor propagation become more serious. Nowadays, knowing the mechanisms of rumor propagation and having an efficient official rumor refutation plan play very important roles in reducing losses and ensuring social safety. In...
