Abstract
The increasing need for mobility has brought about significant changes in transportation infrastructures. Inefficiencies cause enormous losses of time, decrease in the level of safety for both vehicles and pedestrians, high pollution, degradation of quality of life, and huge waste [...]Abstract
Abstract A testing-based faster-than relation has previously been developed that compares the worst-case efficiency of asynchronous systems. This approach reveals that pipelining does not improve efficiency in general; that it does so in practice depends on assumptions about the [...]Abstract
Assigning and scheduling vehicle routes in a stochastic time-dependent environment is a crucial management problem. The assumption that in a real-life environment everything goes according to an a priori determined static schedule is unrealistic. Our methodology builds on earlier [...]Abstract
Due to the geographical distance between producers and consumers, the impact of our current transport system on the environment is considerable. In an ideal, more sustainable transport system, several complementary transport modes are available, so that the most suitable route can [...]Abstract
mong the several findings deriving from the application of complex network formalism to the investigation of natural phenomena, the fact that linguistic constructions follow power laws presents special interest for its potential implications for psychology and brain science. By corresponding [...]Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a method to model earthing systems subjected to lightning strikes with a one-dimensional moment method. This paper was conducted because an accurate method to model earthing systems subjected to lightning strikes, was deemed necessary. To name [...]Abstract
Trabajo presentado a la 4th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT), celebrada en Barcelona (España) del 5 al 7 de abril de 2017. Inland navigation networks are composed of several artificial canals that are characterized by no slope. These [...]Abstract
Inspired by air-traffic control and other applications where moving objects have to be labeled, we consider the following (static) point-labeling problem: given a set P of n points in the plane and labels that are unit squares, place a label with each point in P in such a way that [...]
