A decoupling point is the boundary between make-to-order (MTO) and make-to-stock (MTS). Many researchers have discussed the decoupling point in a serial supply chain. In reality, a product consists of many parts and components, and, consequently, their supplies form a supply network instead of a...

In this paper, we have investigated the effects of adaptive cruise control (ACC) vehicles in a mixture with manually-controlled (manual) vehicles. The manual vehicles are simulated by using the modified comfortable driving model, which can describe synchronized traffic flow. The phase transition...

This paper studies a new model, which considers the effects of drivers reaction delay in the Nagel-Schreckenberg model. We studied the traffic flow properties in the new model under both periodic and open boundary conditions. The fundamental diagram, spatio-temporal patterns, density-density...

In this paper, we investigate mixed bicycle flow using the multi-value cellular automata (CA) model. Two types of bicycles with different maximum speed are considered in the system. The system of mixed bicycles is investigated under both deterministic and stochastic regimes. It is shown under...

Urban traffic is modeled using a dual graph representation of the urban transport network, where roads are mapped to nodes and intersections are mapped to links. The proposed model considers both the navigation of the vehicles in the network and the motion of the vehicles along roads. The...

We investigate the accumulated wealth distribution by adopting evolutionary games taking place on scale-free networks. The system self-organizes to a critical Pareto distribution (1897) of wealth P(m)∼m<Superscript>-(v+1)</Superscript> with 1.6 v 2.0 (which is in agreement with that of U.S. or Japan). Particularly, the...</superscript>

This paper presents an improved cellular automata model, which is based on three phase traffic theory and can reproduce the first order phase transition from free flow to synchronized flow. The fundamental diagram, the spacetime plots, and the 1-min average flux density diagram are presented....

Segregation effects commonly exist in granular mixtures with difference in size, shape or density. In mixed traffic flow, slow vehicle and fast vehicle, as two types of particles, have different desired speed. We investigate the segregation along the road in mixed traffic flow by using a...
