The paper develops a short-term space-time traffic flow forecasting strategy integrating the empirical-based seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) time-series forecasting technique with the theoretical-based first-order macroscopic traffic flow model-cell transmission model....

Many studies focused on the development of crash prediction models have resulted in aggregate crash prediction models to quantify the safety effects of geometric, traffic, and environmental factors on the expected number of total, fatal, injury, and/or property damage crashes at specific...

Since the 1970s, Asia has experienced rapid urbanization processes, which are distinct from U.S. society, and the direction of Asian urbanization is more strongly affected by economic globalization. The desakota model, proposed by McGee and Ginsburg in 1991, focuses on how internal domestic and...

Multi-Agent Simulation (MAS) models are intended to capture emergent properties of complex systems that are not amenable to equilibrium analysis. They are beginning to see some use for analysing agricultural systems. The paper reports on work in progress to create a MAS for specific sectors in...

Innovation has long been considered crucial for companies to gain a competitive edge in the global marketplace. Unfortunately, a solid understanding of the system of innovation does not exist. The literature lacks formal definitions and methodologies for the system of innovation. Many surrogates...

The relatively new science of complex emergent processes is being applied to many fields including the study of organizations. There are many different models of the organization in current use, each with its own benefits. However, the science of complex emergent processes is able to deal with...
