This article quantifies the value of U.S. highways. We develop a multisector general equilibrium model with many locations in United States (i.e., counties) and countries. In model, producers choose shipping routes subject to domestic international trade costs, endogenous congestion, port efficiency at transshipment points. Applying we find that removing Interstate Highway System reduces real G...

This paper develops a participatory sensing service, called Fueoogle, that maps vehicular fuel consumption on city streets, allowing drivers to find the most fuel-efficient routes for their vehicles between arbitrary end-points. The service exploits measurements of vehicular sensors, available via the OBD-II interface that gives access to most gauges and engine instrumentation. The OBD-II senso...

In the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), lane detection plays a vital role to avoid road accidents of an Autonomous vehicle. Also, autonomous vehicles should be able navigate by themselves, in-order do, it needs understand its surrounding conditions like human. So that vehicle can determine path in streets and highways maintain manoeuvre. It has become most fundamental aspect consider c...

using records and documents left by muslim geographers and historions, this article tries to rebuild the historical geography of zarang, now a buried islamic - iranian city and once the administrative center of the sistan region in southeastern iran. the aim of this reconstruction is to help archaeologists have access to the plan and approximate whereabouts of major facilities of the city befor...

The advantages of paper-based maps have been utilized in the field of mobile Augmented Reality (AR) in the last few years. Traditional paper-based maps provide high-resolution, large-scale information with zero power consumption. There are numerous implementations of magic lens interfaces that combine high-resolution paper maps with dynamic handheld displays. From an HCI perspective, the main c...

Suppose that a traveler arrives in the city of Toronto, and wants to walk to the famous CN Tower, one of the tallest free-standing structures in the world. Our visitor, lacking a map of Toronto, is standing at an intersection fromwhich he can see the CN Tower, and several streets S1; : : : ; Sm from which he can choose to start his walk. A natural (and most likely safe) assumption is that our v...

The need for cooperation in the planning of metropolitan trans­ portation facilities has taken on added significance as a result of the Interstate Road Program with its emphasis on arterial improvement in urban areas. A meeting to discuss this problem more fully was held in October 1958 at Syracuse University. This meeting, the National Conference on Highways and Urban Redevelopment (more commo...

We define an elliptic equation for Hermitian metrics which is related to the Einstein condition. Solutions to this equation are closely related to Kähler-Einstein metrics, and are automatically Kähler-Einstein when a certain non-positive condition is satisfied by c1(M). Given this, a natural flow equation arises taking Hermitian metrics to Kähler metrics. We prove short time existence and regul...
