The aims of this study were to determine in-vehicle carbon monoxide (CO) levels in major commuting modes in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City (MAMC) and to identify the main factors affecting the variation in these CO concentrations. CO concentrations were measured inside public and private transport vehicles during the winter of 1991 in Mexico City. Measurements were taken along several com...

This paper presents a dynamic general equilibrium model of a taxi market. The model is estimated using data from New York City yellow cabs. Two salient features by which most taxi markets deviate from the efficient market ideal is the need of both market sides to physically search for trading partners in the product market as well as prevalent regulatory limitations on entry in the capital mark...

We investigated the effects of localized medial and lateral CPu lesions and fornix/fimbria lesions on responses to a local cue and to behavior based on cognitive-spatial information in the water maze. Rats were trained concurrently on the cue (visible platform) and spatial (submerged platform) components of the task, followed by a test in which responses to the two types of information were dis...

This paper seeks to refocus debates on structural interventions away from 'assessing' their effectiveness towards understanding processes around how such interventions are implemented. Implementation Science is focused on understanding potential challenges of translating interventions from highly controlled conditions into 'real life' settings. Using the case study of Stepping Stones and Creati...

Abstract Uber has coupled their ability to dodge regulation with ride-haling app, grow from a Silicon Valley start-up, global powerhouse challenging established taxis in over 700 Metropolitan areas. Through the lens of Schumpter’s ‘Creative Destruction’ and Roger’s ‘Diffusion Innovation’, this paper aims investigate how challenges taxis, focusing on yellow New York City. To capture Uber’s popul...

Electric taxis are of great benefit to reduce urban polluting gas emissions. Currently, there is a problem uneven utilization among charging stations in the battery swapping activities electric taxis, resulting long times for some which seriously affects operational efficiency. This study examines real-time joint scheduling swapping. The expense due each taxi was measured as sum driving duratio...

Rapid “urbanization” (more than 50% of world’s population now resides in cities) coupled with the natural lack of coordination in usage of common resources (ex: bikes, ambulances, taxis, traffic personnel, attractions) has a detrimental effect on a wide variety of response (ex: waiting times, response time for emergency needs) and coverage metrics (ex: predictability of traffic/security patrols...

Cross-diffusion effects and tactic interactions are the processes that preys move away from highest density of predators preferentially, or vice versa. It is renowned these have played significant roles in ecology biology, which also essential to maintenance diversity species. To simulate stability systems illustrate their spatial distributions, we consider positive nonconstant steady states a ...
