In this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (DDE) is presented. The main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. The driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. To induce a risk...

Temporal–spatial resource optimization within the terminal maneuvering area has become an important research direction to meet growing demand for air traffic. Accurate departure flight time prediction from taking off metering fixes is critical management, connecting surface operations, and overhead stream insertion. This paper employs ensemble learning methods (including bagging, boosting, stac...

Class of 2006 Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities At first glance, the night scenes in the Futurist paintings Streetlight: A Study in Light, by Giacomo Balla, and Forces of the Street, by Umberto Boccioni, seem to have little relation to James Whistler’s Nocturne: Grey and Gold. Yet although the Futurists created their night scenes some 30 years later than Whistler, when we consider the...

Books can be owned simultaneously by the author, the merchant, and the purchaser, making it possible, as Lucius Annaeus Seneca observes, “for Titus Livius to receive his own books as a present, or to buy them from Dorus,” a bookseller.1 Ownership of a literary text is thus complicated rather than resolved by its presentation or sale: proprietary interest is multiplied as the text is reproduced,...

Departure time choice models play a crucial role in determining the traffic load transportation systems. Most studies that consider departure user equilibrium (DTUE) problems make assumptions on characteristics (e.g., distribution of desired arrival and trip length) or dynamic model classic bathtub point queue models) order to analyze problem. This paper relaxes these introduces new framework D...
