although there are remarkable differences in drivers’ behavior as well as vehicles characteristics, road capacity estimationmethods in developing countries are same as developed ones. so, the discrepancy between the theoretical andpractical values of capacity is inevitable. although, capacity estimation methods can be classified based on numerousparameters, in developing countries, the availabi...

Although there are remarkable differences in drivers’ behavior as well as vehicles characteristics, road capacity estimationmethods in developing countries are same as developed ones. So, the discrepancy between the theoretical andpractical values of capacity is inevitable. Although, capacity estimation methods can be classified based on numerousparameters, in developing count...

objective(s): we examined the effects of endurance exercise in the presence of bunium persicum extract administration on lipid profile and cardiorespiratory capacity in hypercholesterolemic male mice. materials and methods: forty male hypercholesterolemic mice were divided into four groups: vehicle, endurance exercise (ee), bunium persicum extract (bpe), and ee + bpe. the exercise protocol was ...

In distribution networks, failure to smooth the load curve leads to voltage drop and power quality loss. In this regard, electric vehicle batteries can be used to smooth the load curve. However, to persuade vehicle owners to share their vehicle batteries, we must also consider the owners' profits. A challenging problem is that existing methods do not take into account the vehicle owner demands ...

We calculate bounds on per-lane Automated Highway System (AHS) capacity as a function of vehicle capabilities and control system information structure. We assume that the AHS lane is dedicated for use by fully automated vehicles. Capacity is constrained by the minimum inter-vehicle separation necessary for safe operation. A methodology for deriving the safe minimum inter-vehicle separation for ...

There is little doubt that those of us who are involved in the great industry of motor vehicle transportation—whether it be along the lines of design, maintenance, or operations—have come to recognize that street and highway capacity considerations are indispensable. It is unfortunate, however, that too often there is a lack of clear understanding of what we mean by capacity and how it actually...
