background: conventional health, safety and environment (hse) are a widely used approach to enhance availability and efficiency of complex systems. the integrated hsee system is defined however as integration of conventional hse with ergonomics approach. the presented hsee system introduces a unique, effective and systemic mechanism, which integrates the structure of the human and organizationa...

car-following models are among the most important components of micro traffic flow simulation which is studiedby transportation experts to evaluate new applications of intelligent transportation systems. until now, several carfollowingmodels have been proposed. an obvious disadvantage of the former models is the great number of parameterswhich are difficult to calibrate. in this paper, a car-fo...

One of the key outcomes of blasting in mines is found to be rock fragmentation which profoundly affects downstream expenses. In fact, size prediction of rock fragmentation is the first leap towards the optimization of blasting design parameters. This paper makes an attempt to present a model to predict rock fragmentation using Mutual Information (MI) in Meydook copper mine. Ten parameters are c...
