We propose IntelliCarTS (Intelligent Car Transport System), a Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) anti-collision mechanism that determines, estimates and absolves collision courses between moving vehicles based on a correlative and cooperative wireless networking scheme. The problem of collision avoidance is abstracted to the generic problem of location awareness and subsequent periodic information exchan...

Joint economic lot sizing (JELS) addresses integrated inventory models in a supply chain. Most of the studies in this field either do not consider the role of the transportation cost in their analysis or consider transportation cost as a fixed part of the ordering costs. In this article, a model is developed to analyze an incremental quantity discount in transportation cost. Appropriate equatio...

  Selection of appropriate infrastructure transportation projects such as highways, plays an important role in promotion of transportation systems. Usually in evaluation of transportation projects, because of lack of information or due to long time and high expenditures needed for gathering information, different effective factors are ignored. Thus, in this research, regarding multi criteria na...

Increasing pressures caused by negative consequences of transportation and traffic problems in major cities, have resulted many attempts towards improvement of planning and management of transportation systems, according to sustainability objectives. In this paper, a comprehensive model is developed using a system dynamics approach to evaluate sustainable urban transportation. This model includ...

This paper studies the modeling theories and simulation methods for railway transportation system. The railway transportation system is a typical temporal-spatial dynamic system. Recently the method with temporal-spatial computation characteristics, Cellular Automata, is often used for road traffic flow research, but it’s homogeneity restricting make it impossible to modeling railway transporta...
