Tunnelling transit time for a frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) in a double–prism experiment was measured using microwave radiation. We have found that the transit time is of the same order of magnitude as the corresponding transit time measured either in an undersized wave-guide (evanescent modes) or in a photonic lattice. Moreover we have established that in all such experiments the...

This paper extends carrier assignment models used in winner determination auctions for transportation procurement to include shipper non-price objectives and carrier transit point costs. The models are unlike traditional carrier assignment models which incorporate only carrier lane bids, and different from combinatorial auction models which focus on packets of lanes without considering transit ...

Previous investigations of stress effects on gastric emptying, orocaecal, and colonic transit in rats have produced conflicting results. Here one type of stressor, a 'passive avoidance' situation, was used to investigate its effects on gastric emptying, orocaecal and colonic transit. After the rats had been trained to eat a standard amount of semisolid food, gastric emptying was determined (n =...

Given a network with capacities and transit times on the arcs, the quickest flow problem asks for a “flow over time” that satisfies given demands within minimal time. In the setting of flows over time, flow on arcs may vary over time and the transit time of an arc is the time it takes for flow to travel through this arc. In most real-world applications (such as, e.g., road traffic, communicatio...

The situation around the Horn of Africa is critical. The pirates attack transiting vessels on daily basis and even though various counter-piracy measures have been employed, there is still a great potential for the optimization of these navigation techniques. We focus on optimization of a specific transit scheme – combination of the International Recommended Transit Corridor with Group Transits...

For RF-circuit analysis, an accurate compact model for the MOS varactor is urgently desired. We have developed such an accurate MOS varactor model HiSIMVaractor based on the surface-potential MOSFETmodel HiSIM by considering the majority carrier transit time. Good agreement with 2D device simulation result is verified up to 200GHz operation. The calculated quality factor is proved to deviate fr...

the current status and quality of urban and regional development has been criticized by many academics and professionals in different fields. at city centers in addition to traffic congestion, population growth, urban and regional sprawl and suburbanization have resulted in unsustainable conditions in many cities all around the world. in this regard, different aspects of urban form, especially ...

Cooperative transit signal priority (CTSP), which integrates cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology, can improve the efficiency of connected vehicles at signalized intersections. However, few studies have considered impact bus stops on CTSP under adaptive control. Near-side an intersection and multiple arriving same stop affect arrival prediction. To overcome these shortcomings, we p...

This paper proposes a bus line capacity optimization design model considering the scale of multiple vehicles, which is achieved by minimizing system operating costs and user costs. The proposed takes into account difference passenger demand in different periods, can get optimal headway delivery reserve plan. In order to prove that method effectively minimize cost, we solved numerical example co...

A green transportation system composed of transit, busses and bicycles could be a significant in alleviating traffic congestion. However, the inaccuracy of current transit ridership forecasting methods is imposing a negative impact on the development of urban transit systems. Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) delineating is a fundamental and essential step in ridership forecasting, existing delineati...
