Stochastic-based pavement performance and deterioration models: A review of techniques and applications

Alexandria Engineering Journal
Infrastructure assets, such as pavements, naturally deteriorate over time due to traffic loads, environmental conditions, and other external factors. Traditionally, deterministic models have been employed to predict performance, aiding in work planning ...

Wide sense one-dependent processes with embedded Harris chains and their applications in inventory management [PDF]

In this paper we consider stochastic processes with an embedded Harris chain. The embedded Harris chain describes the dependence structure of the stochastic process.

The Shared Experience Actor–Critic (SEAC) Approach for Allocating Radio Resources and Mitigating Resource Collisions in 5G-NR-V2X Mode 2 Under Aperiodic Traffic Conditions

Sensors
5G New Radio (NR)-V2X, standardized by 3GPP Release 16, includes a distributed resource allocation Mode, known as Mode 2, that allows vehicles to autonomously select transmission resources using either sensing-based semi-persistent scheduling (SB-SPS) or

SEMI-MARKOV DECISION PROCESSES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN REPLACEMENT MODELS

Journal of the Operations Research Society of Japan, 1985
We consider the problem of minimizing the long-run average expected cost per unit time in a semi-Markov decision process with arbitrary state and action space. Using the idea of successive approximations, sufficient conditions for the existence of an optimal stationary policy are given.

Tariff-Sensitive Global Supply Chains: Semi-Markov Decision Approach with Reinforcement Learning

Systems
Global supply chains often face uncertainties in production lead times, fluctuating exchange rates, and varying tariff regulations, all of which can significantly impact total profit.
