*Supported by DOE and ONR The transport and matching problem for a low energy transport system is approached from a control theoretical viewpoint. We model the beam dynamics and transport section using the KV envelope equations. To this model we apply the principles of optimal control to formulate techniques which aid in the design of the transport and matching section. The techniques are appli...

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...

In this work, we show the intrinsic relations between optimal transportation and convex geometry, especially the variational approach to solve Alexandrov problem: constructing a convex polytope with prescribed face normals and volumes. This leads to a geometric interpretation to generative models, and leads to a novel framework for generative models. By using the optimal transportation view of ...

Optimal routing is an important part of the methanol road transportation research. Optimal routing of methanol is different from those general optimal routing processes. Methanol optimal routing need to take into account the risk of path, the possible consequences of the accident and emergency response capabilities around the path and other factors This paper includes two aspects of research, o...
