In recent years, there has been increasing attention on bicycle-sharing systems (BSS) as a viable and sustainable mode of transportation for short trips. However, due to relatively recent adoption of BSS there is very little research exploring how people consider these systems within the existing transportation alternatives. Given the recent growth of BSS across the world, there is substantial ...

Infants must infer others’ preferences to decipher the social world. Past research has suggested that infants use statistical information to infer others’ preferences (Kushnir, Xu & Wellman, 2010), but the nature of children’s understanding of preferences has been somewhat underspecified. The current experiment explores how statistical information helps infants decipher the strength (Experiment...

Paratransit plays an important role in the urban passenger transportation system in the developing countries. Three cities viz. Imphal East, Imphal West and Silchar in India have been undertaken for the study. Household survey and traffic survey have been employed to collect data for the paratransit users. Modelling techniques and tools also have been used to forecast the utility of paratransit...

In this paper, we considered the half logistic model and derived a probability density function that generalized it. The cumulative distribution function, the $n^{th}$ moment, the median, the mode and the 100$k$-percentage points of the generalized distribution were established. Estimation of the parameters of the distribution through maximum likelihood method was accomplished with the aid of c...

This paper presents a Logistic Maturity Model. The goal is to provide companies with a system that allows both to assess their logistic processes current status and to outline an action plan for improvement, considering four key elements: Modeling Framework, Maturity Framework, Performance Framework and Improvement Systems.
