Due to the increasing demand for traveling in public transportation systems and increasing traffic of vehicles, nowadays vehicles are getting to be intelligent to increase safety, reduce the probability of accident and also financial costs. Therefore, today, most vehicles are equipped with multiple safety control and vehicle navigation systems. In the process of developing such systems, simulat...

Purpose: discuss actual application value of the diffusion theory in massive electric vehicle charging load. Method: introduce single vehicle charging process, extend it to charging process of two and multiple electric vehicles, abstract physical process of parallel charging of electric vehicles, introduce energy block concept and diffusion theory, and establish diffusion charging model of elec...

The steady increase in oil prices and awareness regarding environmental risks due to carbon dioxide emissions are promoting the current interest in electric vehicles. However, the current relatively low driving range (autonomy) of these vehicles, especially compared with the autonomy of existing internal combustion vehicles, remains an obstacle to their development. In order to reassure a drive...

Real market institutions, stock and commodity exchanges for example, do not occur in isolation. Company stock is frequently listed on several stock exchanges, and futures exchanges make it possible for dealers in a particular commodity to offset their risks by trading options in that commodity. While there has been extensive research into agent-based trading in individual markets, there is litt...

The Internet has seen a proliferation of specialized middlebox devices that carry out crucial network functionality such as load balancing, packet inspection or intrusion detection, amongst others. Traditionally, high performance network devices have been built on custom multi-core, specialized memory hierarchies, architectures which are well suited to packet processing. Recently, commodity PC ...

This paper argues that California’s self-help county tax legislation, which funds additional highway spending, amounts to a natural experiment that can be used to construct a valid instrument to determine highway congestion’s causal effect on the growth rates of GDP, employment, wages, and commodity freight flows for California counties. Our estimation results indicate that highway congestion h...
