The safety management of transportation system leads to decrease in a number of traffic accidents. Identification of the primary reasons in accident incidence is the initial step in controlling the crashes. The source of accidents is divided into 3 groups; namely, human, environment and traffic. Due to the complex nature of traffic accidents, Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods can be...

A general problem in relation to application of Markov decision processes to real world problems is the curse of dimensionality, since the size of the state space grows to prohibitive levels when information on all relevant traits of the system being modeled are included. In herd management, we face a hierarchy of decisions made at different levels with different time horizon, and the decisions...

A new method is presented for accurately and efficiently simulating multi-scale multibody systems with discontinuous changes in system definitions as encountered in adaptive switching between models with different resolutions as well as models with different system topologies. An example of model resolution change is a transition of a system from a discrete particle model to a reduced order art...

The present research analyzes the nonlinear fluid–structure interaction (FSI) of free surface waves with large-scale polymer offshore floating photovoltaics (LPOFPV). structure is modeled as a Euler Bernoulli–von Kármán (EBVK) beam coupling water beneath. EBVK theory takes in-plane force into consideration to account for moderately large deflection slopes in LPOFPV. A multi-time-scale perturbat...

the purpose of this study was identification and applying ahp method in prioritization and comparison educational barriers and sustainable development on production of edible insects as diets from the viewpoint of selected groups. it was an applied research, research method was analytical, descriptive and statistical society was four groups of specialists, livestock and poultry producers, insec...
