the intelligent transportation system (its) provides wireless and mobile communication between vehicles and infrastructure to improve the safety of transportation and make the journey more enjoyable. this system consists of many fixed and mobile nodes (vehicles, trains, vessels, air planes), wireless and wired telecommunication technologies to exchange information between mobile nodes or betwee...

in this paper, we improve some recent coupled fixed point resultsfor single-valued operators in the framework of ordered $b$-metricspaces established by bota et al. [m-f. bota, a. petrusel, g.petrusel and b. samet, coupled fixed point theorems forsingle-valued operators in b-metric spaces, fixed point theoryappl. (2015) 2015:231]. also, we prove that perov-type fixed pointtheorem in ordered gen...

Even though rail transportation is one of the most fuel efficient forms of surface transportation, fueling costs are one of the highest operating cost head for railroad companies. In US, unlike Europe, fueling costs are indeed, by far, the single highest operating cost. For larger companies with several thousands of miles of rail network, the fuel bills often run into several billions of dollar...

Facing supply uncertainty of bulky wastes, the capacitated multi-product stochastic network design model for bulky waste recycling is proposed in this paper. The objective of this model is to minimize the first-stage total fixed costs and the expected value of the second-stage variable costs. The possibility of operation costs and transportation costs for bulky waste recycling is considered ...

We extend the classical transportation problem from linear optimization and introduce several competing forwarders. This results in a noncooperative game which is commonly known as generalized Nash equilibrium problem. We show the existence of Nash equilibria and present numerical methods for their efficient computation. Furthermore, we discuss several equilibrium selection concepts that are ap...

Polyvinyl chloride supported silver molybdate composite material is used to develop by solution casting method. This membrane was characterized by various instrumental techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. These characterizations are used to understand the functional groups,thermal sta...
