LOGISTICS AND EFFICIENCY OF HEAVY TRAFFIC
Background. The article is devoted to the study of the organization of the heavyweight movement. The relevance of the topic is related to the steady increase in the average weight of freight trains operating on heavily loaded routes of Russian railways ...

Do Heavy Vehicles Always Have a Negative Effect on Traffic Flow?
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of heavy vehicles on traffic flow on a two-lane highway. To achieve this goal, data was obtained from piezosensors on the Seoul–Chuncheon Expressway.

Multi-Objective Aerodynamic Optimization of a High-Speed Train Head Shape Based on an Optimal Kriging Model [PDF]
An optimal Kriging surrogate model based on a 5-fold cross-validation method and improved artificial fish swarm optimization is developed for improving the aerodynamic optimization efficiency of a high-speed train running in the open air.

Crack Detection in Pavement Images Based on a Self- Adaptive Niche Algorithm
This study focuses on optical image pavement damage detection instead of artificial detection in pavement maintenance. Based on the characteristics of cracks and combined with the niche theory, it proposes a dynamic adaptive curve extraction algorithm ...

An Impact of Traffic Characteristics on Crash Frequency [PDF]
With the development of roads, modes of transportation were also developed, and increasing numbers of those modes and routes were needed. This increase brought into focus many problems of the highway system.

Interacting queues in heavy traffic [PDF]
The authors consider a system of parallel queues with Poisson arrivals and exponentially distributed service requirements. The various queues are coupled through their service rates, causing a complex dynamic interaction. Specifically, the system consists of one primary queue and several secondary queues whose service rates depend on whether the ...

Gaussian queues in light and heavy traffic [PDF]
In this paper we investigate Gaussian queues in the light-traffic and in the heavy-traffic regime. The setting considered is that of a centered Gaussian process $X\equiv\{X(t):t\in\mathbb R\}$ with stationary increments and variance function $σ^2_X(\cdot)$, equipped with a deterministic drift $c>0$, reflected at 0: \[Q_X^{(c)}(t)=\sup_ ...

Transform Methods for Heavy-Traffic Analysis [PDF]
The drift method was recently developed to study queuing systems in steady state. It was used successfully to obtain bounds on the moments of the scaled queue lengths that are asymptotically tight in heavy traffic and in a wide variety of systems, including generalized switches, input-queued switches, bandwidth-sharing networks, and so on.
