In this paper, we study a two-lane totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) coupled with random attachment and detachment of particles (Langmuir kinetics) in both lanes under open boundary conditions. Our model can describe the directed motion of molecular motors, attachment and detachment of motors, and free inter-lane transition of motors between filaments. In this paper, we focus ...

Plant nutritionist have traditionally considered the obvious way to feed plants is through the soil, where plant roots are meant to uptake water and nutrients, but in recent years foliar feeding has been developed to supply plants with their nutritional needs. The development of pressurised irrigation equipment such as drip irrigation has promoted the need for water-soluble fertilisers, as clea...

Land-based mobile mapping systems have yielded an enormous time saving in road networks and their surrounding utilities survey. However, the manual extraction of the road information from the mobile mapping data is still a time-consuming task. This paper presents ARVEE (Automated Road Geometry Vectors Extraction Engine)), a robust automatic road geometry extraction system developed at the Unive...

On a multi-lane roadway, systematic lane-changes can seriously disrupt traffic flow and cause capacity reductions. Therefore it is important to understand the characteristics of lanechanging traffic flow. In our previous study, a new variable, lane-changing intensity, was theoretically derived by doubling the contribution to the total density of a lane-changing vehicle during its lane-changing ...

This paper introduces a new algorithm called Lane-finding in ANother domAin (LANA) for detecting lane markers in images acquired from a forward-looking vehicle-mounted camera. The method is based on a novel set of frequency domain features that capture relevant information concerning the strength and orientation of spatial edges. The frequency domain features are combined with a deformable temp...

Modeling driving behavior and emulating driver control strategy is one of essential parts for risk assessment and auxiliary control in the driver assistance system and vehicle active safety system. In this paper, we propose a proposed model is intuitive and can clearly describe the habit and randomness of the lane-change behavior with limit parameters. Especially, by using the proposed model an...

In this paper‎, ‎numerical solution of‎ ‎general Lane-Emden equation via collocation method based on‎ ‎Double Exponential DE transformation is considered‎. ‎The‎ ‎method converts equation to the nonlinear Volterra integral‎ ‎equation‎. ‎Numerical examples show the accuracy of the method.‎ ‎Also‎, ‎some remarks with respect to run-time‎, computational cost‎ ‎and implementation are discussed.

In this paper, modication of the optimal homotopy asymptotic method (MOHAM) is appliedupon singular initial value Lane-Emden type equations and results are compared with the available exactsolutions. The modied algorithm give the exact solution for dierential equations by using one iterationonly.

Drivers continuously evaluate the surrounding traffic and the roadway environment, and make decisions about lanes and travel speed. The objective of this thesis is to develop a lane changing model that can be used in microscopic traffic simulation models to capture drivers' lane changing behavior. Lane change is modeled as a sequence of four steps: decision to consider a lane change, choice of ...
