Valuing the flexibility of investing in security process innovations
In this paper, we develop a decision model of a firm’s optimal strategy for investment in security process innovations (SPIs) when confronted with a sequence of malicious attacks. The model incorporates real options as a methodology to capture the flexibility embed ded in such investment decisions. SPIs, when seamlessly integrated with the organization’s overall business dynamics, induce organi...
متن کاملRail Transport and Energy Consumption
This paper attempts to portray the present unstable situation of handling passengers and freight inside Iran as well as to represent a clear view of the rail transport features that have given this mode of transport a special place among the transport system. In this paper the rate of fuel consumption as a main pivotal item has been evaluated as well as the amount and cost of fuel economized th...
متن کاملAutomatic Passengers Counting In Public Rail Transport Using Wavelets
Previously, we introduced a passengers’ counting algorithm in public rail transport. The main disadvantage of that algorithm is it lacks automatic event detection. In this article, we implement two automatic wavelet-based passengers counting algorithms. The new algorithms employ the spatial-domain Laplacian-of-Gaussian-based wavelet, and the frequency-domain applied Non-Linear Difference of Gau...
متن کاملLeapfrog innovations in the intermodal road - rail haul industry
The transformation of the present haulage industry to a more sustainable system is a major challenge and a high priority in the political agenda. In the terrestrial freight market high hopes rely on the intermodal rail-road transport. However, intermodal transport is used for a rather small market segment of concentrated freight flows over long distances. This intermodal transport is based on t...
متن کاملValuing Service Quality Impacts In Transport Planning
Travelers tend to place a high value on qualitative factors such as convenience, comfort, security and prestige. However, conventional transport planning practices tend to focus on quantitative impacts and undervalue qualitative impacts. This paper describes ways to evaluate qualitative impacts. Improved travel convenience and comfort tend to reduce unit travel time costs and so are equivalent ...
