The success of a codevelopment alliance depends on the close cooperation between partners. Consideration of collaborative utility is very important for partner selection in the alliance formation, while it is neglected in the existing research. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method...

A good evacuation model should be good to predict actual macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of pedestrian movement. In order to explore pedestrian movement behavior, we conducted controlled experiments of the single-file pedestrian movement, extracted the motion data by using a...

In this study, a novel forecasting model based on the Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) is proposed to predict the monthly crude oil spot price. In the proposed model, the OECD industrial petroleum inventory level is used as an independent variable, and the Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) is used to...

In previous simulations lane-changing behavior is usually assumed as an instantaneous action. However, in real traffic, lane changing is a continuing process which can seriously affect the following cars. In this paper, a microscopic lane-changing process (LCP) model is clearly described. A new...

A recent field study confirmed that animal crowd behavior is dominated by the interaction from the k-Nearest-Neighbors rather than all the neighbors in a given metric distance. For the reason that systems with local interaction perform similar self-organized phenomena, we in this paper build two...
