The purpose of this study is to design an intelligent control system to guide the overtaking maneuver with a higher performance than the existing systems. Unlike the existing models which consider constant values for some of the effective variables of this behavior, in this paper, a neural network model is designed based on the real overtaking data using instantaneous values for variables. A fu...

Conventional wisdom among legal scholars is that contractual restrictions on employee mobility a¤ect turnover and led to the overtaking of Massachusetts’Route 128 by Silicon Valley. We study a model of employee mobility in the spirit of Pakes and Nitzan (1984) to see when this can be the case. We show that, in fact, with certain frictions taken into account, a model of employee mobility can not...

This paper deals with zero-sum stochastic differential games with long-run average payoffs. Our main objective is to give conditions for existence and characterization of bias and overtaking optimal equilibria. To this end, first we characterize the family of optimal average payoff strategies. Then, within this family, we impose suitable conditions to determine the subfamilies of bias and overt...

The problem of motion planning of an autonomous vehicle amidst other vehicles on a straight road is considered. Traffic in a number of countries is unorganized, where the vehicles do not move within predefined speed lanes. In this paper, we formulate a mechanism wherein an autonomous vehicle may travel on the ―wrong‖ side in order to overtake a vehicle. Challenges include assessing a possible o...

Previous work has proved that simple simulation models are sufficient for analyzing the behavior of complex wafer fabs in certain scenarios. In this paper, we give an example where the simple model fails to accurately predict cycle times and WIP levels of the complex model. To determine the reason for this behavior, we analyze the correlation properties of a MIMAC full fab model and the corresp...

On two-lane rural roads, a large number of overtaking accidents tend to happen. Those cause many serious casualties and fatalities. In many cases, inaccurate assessment of the traffic situation is identified as the major cause. Hence, the development of a driver assistance concept for those scenarios promises a high safety benefit. This paper shows the sensory and data-fusion approach to a syst...
