A small-scale pilot project was built for the pavement-solar energy utilization in this paper. An automatic data acquisition system was designed to measure the effectiveness of the pavement solar energy system based on the operation data of 24h a day in both summer and winter. Through 69days...

In this paper, we consider the phenomenon of stochastic resonance (SR) in an asymmetric bistable system with coloured noises and periodic rectangular signal. Expression of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been obtained under the adiabatic limit. We investigate the effect of any system...

We examine international stock return comovements using country-industry and country-style portfolios as the base portfolios. We first establish that parsimonious risk-based factor models capture the covariance structure of the data better than the popular Heston- ouwenhorst (1994) model. We...

This paper addresses the problem of estimating an Origin-Destination (O-D) matrix with platoon dispersion from fully disaggregate data: that is, the passage times of vehicles at the entries and exits or the origins and destinations of a network. Given a list of entry times and a list of exiting...

This paper deals with two mathematically similar problems in transport network analysis: trip matrix estimation and traffic signal optimisation on congested road networks. These two problems are formulated as bi-level programming problems with stochastic user equilibrium assignment as the...

This paper investigates the stability of the classical car-following model (for example, Chandler et al., Operations Research, 6, 165-184, 1958; Herman et al., Operations Research, 7, 86-106, 1959; Wilhelm and Schmidt, Transportation Engineering Journal (ASCE) 99, 923-933, 1973). Conditions for local...
