This visual essay in "The Photographer's Frame" explores how Americans’ love affair with road trips made a marriage of national park scenic landscapes and automobiles nearly inevitable—and has helped, literally, drive climate change.

Convolutional highways are deep networks based on multiple stacked convolutional layers for feature preprocessing. We introduce an evolutionary algorithm (EA) for optimization of the structure and hyperparameters of convolutional highways and demonstrate the potential of this optimization setting on the well-known MNIST data set. The (1+1)-EA employs Rechenberg’s mutation rate control and a nic...

Abstract We design a parsimonious spatial equilibrium model featuring workers embodied with heterogeneous skills and non-homothetic preferences. In equilibrium, locations improved commuting access become relatively more attractive to high-income earners. empirically analyse the effects of construction Swiss highway network between 1960 2010 on population size composition municipalities. find th...

one of the ways to be informed on the extent of activities in various industries is to measure the rate of nominal protection. this paper tries to calculate the nominal and effective protection in order to examine the exchange rate unification impacts on the protection of pulp and paper industries with the aim of performing the exchange rate unification policy. therefore, nominal protection rat...

We analyze the spatially distributed impacts of transport investment in urban highways and public with a novel methodology based on capabilities online technology to replicate (unobserved) condition without highways. This is upon intensive use Google Maps API (GMA) obtain travel times between each origin-destination pair at highly detailed level reveal effects new infrastructure different zones...

With the advent of rapid globalization and inter-border supply chain network, reliability efficiency transportation systems have become even more critical. Indeed, trans-continental highways need particular attention due to their important role in sustaining globalization. In this context, intelligent (ITS) can actively enhance safety, mobility, productivity, comfort highways. However, ITS depe...
