During decades, the automatic train operation (ATO) system has been gradually adopted in many subway systems for its low-cost and intelligence. This article proposes two smart (STO) algorithms by integrating expert knowledge with reinforcement learning algorithms. Compared previous works, proposed can realize control of continuous action optimize multiple critical objectives without using an of...

On 28 December 2014, the Beijing subway’s fare policy was changed from “Two Yuan” per trip to the era of Logging Ticket Price, charging users by travel mileage. This paper aims at investigating the effects of Beijing subway’s new fare policy on the riders’ attitude, travel pattern and demand. A survey analysis was conducted to identify the effects of the new fare policy for Beijing subway on ri...

Over the past year, we have begun the development of a new restaurant guide domain, DINEX, which utilizes all of the same core technology as our other GALAXY systems [2]. The domain server has been adapted from our CityGuide domain within our GALAXY framework, using the same mechanisms to locate places on the map or to give directions. The system has information on several features for restaura...

We study the effect of the parking on heterogeneous commuters’ travel choice in a competitive transportation systemwhich consists of a subway and a parallel road with a bottleneck of limited service capacity. Everymorning, commuters either use their private cars only or drive their cars to the bottleneck, park there, and then take the subway to the destination. Considering the effects caused by...

Background: Women worldwide are concerned about breast cancer, resulting in high mortality and morbidity. Objectives: In this research, to investigate the function of Taxol, Vinblastine, Vincristine on MCF-7 cell line, different concentration levels (10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 µmol/mL) drugs were examined. Taxolwas also used combination with Vinblastine Vincristine. Methods: The examined compound...

Composer Margaret Schedel grew up with a mathematically minded father who had a fondness for flow charts. “He’d say, ‘You can’t remember how to do the laundry? Make a flow chart!’” Schedel recalls. Like her father, Schedel was fascinated by computer science, but her dyslexia made programming challenging. “I think I have a logical brain, but one that is a different kind of logic.” Today, as a pr...

We consider a class of highly dynamic networks modelled on an urban subway system. We examine the problem of creating a map of such a subway in less than ideal conditions, where the local residents are not enthusiastic about the process and there is a limited ability to communicate amongst the mappers. More precisely, we study the problem of a team of asynchronous computational entities (the ma...

Background Certain occupations are at greater risk of stress and depression than others. In particular, occupations related to too much or too little work, having to make too many decisions, having very little control over decisions, time pressures and deadlines, excessive and inconvenient working hours, highly repetitive work and lack of job variety, the necessity to work fast, job insecurity ...

A multimodal multi-criteria route planning (MMRP) system provides an optimal multimodal route from an origin point to a destination point considering two or more criteria in a way this route can be a combination of public and private transportation modes. In this paper, the simulate annealing (SA) and the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) were combined in order to find this route. ...
