LUNT AND WILSON: NEW DATA SETS AND HIGHWAY TRAFFIC MODELS New Data Sets and Improved Models of Highway Traffic

In this paper we report progress on the use of novel data sets to calibrate and improve car-following models of highway traffic. These models describe vehicles as discrete entities moving in continuous time and space, and use plausible behavioural assumptions to derive systems of differential equations which must be solved for vehicles’ trajectories. To date, there has been little or no systema...

Fungal KATs/KDACs: A New Highway to Better Antifungal Drugs?

According to the World Health Organization, infectious diseases stand out as the major cause of death worldwide. Although bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections appear to constitute the major threat, the clinical relevance of fungal infections has not been adequately recognized. In fact, invasive fungal infections constitute a biomedical problem of epic proportions, because a handful of hum...

Multiple-Path Selection for new Highway Alignments using Discrete Algorithms

This paper addresses the problem of finding multiple near-optimal, spatially-dissimilar paths that can be considered as alternatives in the decision making process, for finding optimal corridors in which to construct a new road. We further consider combinations of techniques for reducing the costs associated with the computation and increasing the accuracy of the cost formulation. Numerical res...
