We generalize a wide class of time-continuous microscopic traffic models to include essential aspects of driver behaviour not captured by these models. Specifically, we consider (i) finite reaction times, (ii) estimation errors, (iii) looking several vehicles ahead (spatial anticipation), and...

Indian Railways (IR), the largest rail passenger carrier in the world, has experienced 11 major accidents due to derailment or collision between trains in the year 2010, leading to several human casualties and large-scale disruptions in traffic. Alarmingly, 8 of these 11 accidents have occurred...

We study the dynamical behavior of elevators in the morning peak traffic. We present a stochastic model of the elevators to take into account the interactions between elevators through passengers. The dynamics of the elevators is expressed in terms of a coupled nonlinear map with noises. The...

We present the dynamical model of the multiple production lines composed of M parallel and u series machines. We extend the single-series production line model to the multiple production lines. We study the effect of the multiple lines on the dynamical behavior of the production process. We...

We study the dynamical behavior of a single vehicle moving through a sequence of traffic lights, where the vehicle speeds up to retrieve the delay induced by traffic lights and the traffic lights turn on and off periodically on a single-lane highway. The dynamical model of the vehicle controlled...

We study the dynamical phase transitions in the elevator traffic during the morning peak period. We apply the coupled nonlinear map model to the dynamics of M elevators. We investigate the effect of elevator's number M on the dynamical transition. It is shown that the dynamical transitions occur...

We present the stochastic model of the supply chain composed of u series machines and buffers. Each machine has an adaptation time (delay) different from the other and each buffer has a capacity of storage different from the other. We extend the deterministic supply chain model to the stochastic...

With the rapid development of the economy and the accelerated globalization process, the aviation industry plays a more and more critical role in today’s world, in both developed and developing countries. As the infrastructure of aviation industry, the airport network is one of the most...
