Prediction of vehicle activity for emissions estimation under oversaturated conditions along signalized arterials

The traditional methodology for estimating vehicle emissions based on vehicle miles traveled and average speed is not reliable because it does not consider the effects of congestion, control devices, and driving mode (cruise, acceleration, deceleration, an ...

Simulation-based Validity Analysis of Ecological User Equilibrium

Traffic is believed to organize itself by minimizing user’s travel cost (travel time is used as cost very often). Almost all the analytical and numerical work in the last 50 years has concentrated on travel cost and the assumption that costs are always an ...

Optimizing Fueling Decisions for Locomotives in Railroad Networks

Michel Bierlaire, Prem Kumar

Even though rail transportation is one of the most fuel efficient forms of surface transportation, fueling costs are one of the highest operating cost head for railroad companies. In US, unlike Europe, fueling costs are indeed, by far, the single highest o ...

Void reactivity decomposition for the Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor in equilibrium fuel cycle

Rakesh Chawla, Konstantin Mikityuk, Jiri Krepel, Kaichao Sun

The Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR) is one of the most promising Generation IV systems with many advantages, but has one dominating neutronic drawback - a positive sodium void reactivity. The aim of this study is to develop and apply a methodology, which ...
