Real‐Time Behavior Recognition Using a Legged Robot for Animal–Robot Interaction

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal–robot interaction is an emerging interdisciplinary field that explores the dynamics between animals and robotic systems, as well as the design principles for effective engagement. While previous approaches have investigated animal responses to robotic stimuli, they have yet to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) for real‐time ...

Pricing of Intermodal Transport. Lessons Learned from RECORDIT

European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2003
Intermodal transport is defined as a sequence of activities involving modal haulages, transhipments and terminals, and requiring the intervention of a variety of operators, whose roles partially overlap and compete. This entails an inherent complexity of

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

ALLOTMENT BOOKING IN INTERMODAL TRANSPORT

TRANSPORT, 2009
The article presents a valuable concept seeking to solve the problem of demand uncertainty in intermodal transport. Regular traffic is quite important for moving containers, trailers and swap bodies. To keep regularity with uncertain demand means to have backlogs or empty space. Both of them are inefficient from an economical point of view. In practice,

Systematic Learning and Pedagogy Through a Modular, Progressive‐Based Simulation Modeling Framework for Complex Systems

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart Transportation Systems (SmTS) will exceed complex systems with their classification as complex, sociotechnical, and AI‐based systems. Possessing a toolkit that helps systemically understand, analyze, and assess these systems will be advantageous in the early stages of the systems engineering (SE) lifecycle, and Agent Based Models (ABMs ...

WASTELAND ACTIVISM: Political Weeds and Ecological Imaginaries in Montreal

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Montreal, this article examines the ways in which urban dwellers and activists engage with the living materialities of wastelands to illuminate evolving ecological imaginaries and their political potentials.

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Intermodal supply chains methodology and economic efficiency study of its implementation (using the example of an Iron and Steel Company)

SHS Web of Conferences, 2017
Currently the global market for intermodal transport (containers in particular) is evolving at a significant pace. The Russian market development of intermodal transport occurs with low speed.
