Traffic dynamics on freeways are stochastic in nature because of errors in perception and operation of drivers as well as the heterogeneity between and within drivers. This stochasticity is often represented in car-following models by a stochastic term, which is assumed to follow a normal distribution for the convenience of mathematical...

Due to the extension of the power grid with many complex and compact pieces of power equipment, transformers will be more exposed to fast transient, resulting from various resonance conditions. Transformer resonance can result in severe overvoltage on internal parts of the winding, leading to insulation failure and, consequently, transformer...

Evolution has traditionally been a historical and descriptive science, and predicting future evolutionary processes has long been considered impossible. However, evolutionary predictions are increasingly being developed and used in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology and conservation biology. Evolutionary predictions may be used for...

Surprisingly little is known about tooth removal procedures. This might be due to the difficulty of gaining reliable data on these procedures. To improve our understanding of these procedures, machine learning techniques were used to design a multiclass classification model of tooth removal based on force, torque, and movement data recorded...

Because idealizations frequently advance scientific understanding, many claim that falsehoods play an epistemic role. In this paper, we argue that these positions greatly overstate idealizations’ import for understanding. We introduce work on epistemic value to the debate surrounding idealizations and understanding, arguing that idealizations...

This article deals with an analysis, modeling, and assessing performances of supply chains served by long-distance intercontinental intermodal rail/road- and sea-shipping freight transport corridor(s). For such a purpose, the supply chains are defined and the methodology for assessing their performances under given conditions is developed....

Geophysical methods are able to contribute significantly to geotechnical site characterization. In-situ parameters are collected and gaps between boreholes or other direct tests are filled with information. However the limited resolution has to be considered and the indirect geophysical parameters have to be translated into something...

The notion of scientific representation plays a central role in current debates on modeling in the sciences. One or maybe the major epistemic virtue of successful models is their capacity to adequately represent specific phenomena or target systems. According to similarity views of scientific representation, models should be similar to their...

In the past many viaducts in the Netherlands have been built with precast box beam girders. Precast box beam girders have many advantages compared to other types of girders. One of these advantages is the property of being torsion stiff. Because of boundary conditions some viaducts are skew and not straight. A few examples of these boundary...

Background Most poliovirus infections occur with no symptoms and this leads to the possibility of silent circulation, which complicates the confirmation of global goals to permanently end poliovirus transmission. Previous simple models based on hypothetical populations assumed perfect detection of symptomatic cases and suggested the need to...

Shared effort games model people's contribution to projects and sharing the obtained profits. Those games generalize both public projects like writing for Wikipedia, where everybody shares the resulting benefits, and all-pay auctions such as contests and political campaigns, where only the winner obtains a profit. In ?-equal sharing (effort)...

The increasing demand for quality, durability and sustainability requires a critical evaluation of currently used building codes. Although there is no doubt that we need codes, standards, certificates etc., the existence of these documents are no guarantee that the prescribed quality is realized on the building site. In this paper the essential...

CityGML is a standardized data format used to store the semantic information and geometries of buildings and other object classes of 3D city models. The Level of Detail of current state of the art city models (LoD2) is not sufficient for accurate environmental simulations like noise, the solar potential of windows and other types of analyses. An...

If we wish to reach a deeper, more objective understanding of the phenomena of Architectural and Environmental Design, we need to develop and apply working methods that allow us to imaginatively analyse and consequently envision the formal issues which are at (inter)play: demonstrating their workings and effects in the ‘Real World’. First of all...

Scientific literature lacks a model which combines exposure to risk, risk, and the relationship between them. This paper presents a conceptual road safety framework comprising mutually interacting factors for exposure to risk resulting from travel behaviour (volumes, modal split, and distribution of traffic over time and space) and for risk ...

A study on the implementation of the influence of crowding on train passenger choice behaviour in assignment models. Crowding is becoming more and more an important issue in metropolitan areas around the world. It is believed that including the influence of crowding can improve the results of train passenger assignment models; however, in most...

During his live Heinz Isler built around 1400 shell structures, until he deceased in 2009. Heinz Isler is part of a Swizz tradition of structural art in the 20th century, which includes engineers such as Robert Maillart, Othmar Ammann und Christian Menn [1]. During his live Heinz Isler developed several methods for physical form finding of his...

Nowadays traditional traffic simulation models are becoming more complex and more detailed. Often policy questions do not require this level of details and needs faster answers than can be reach with traditional models. Of course traditional traffic simulation models are necessary for the evaluations of transportation alternatives. It is...
