Abstract: This paper presents a method to evaluate the operational effects of managed lane policies—vehicle eligibility, access control, pricing, and the number of managed lanes—that form a policy combination set. Two macroscopic ...

Abstract: Vision guided robots have become an important element in the manufacturing industry. In most current industrial applications, vision guided robots are controlled by a lookthenmove method. This method cannot support many ...

Abstract: The merger of tropical cyclones Zeb and Alex is described. The process includes mutual cyclonic rotation, followed by merger of Zeb and Alex. The cyclonic rotation of Alex around Zeb accelerated as the separation distance ...

Abstract: A simulation of the laser-induced Raman and fluorescence spectra produced by laser irradiation of the water column is described as well as a method of extracting the Raman signal from the fluorescence spectra using multiple ...

Abstract: A series of large-scale shaking table tests is conducted for a high-rise building structure subjected to long-period ground motions. A test method is developed to preserve the original dimensions of structural members of ...

Abstract: he momentum variables of streamfunction and velocity potential are used as control variables in a number of operational variational data assimilation systems. However, in this study it is shown that, for limited-area ...
