Abstract:
... With the popularization of electric vehicles, large-scale electric vehicle charging may negatively impact drivers, the power grid, and traffic conditions. Currently, research conducted on the charging and battery swap of electric vehicles is insufficient. The objective for optimization and the type of electric vehicle proposed by other papers are limited in scope. In order to achieve an overall op ...

Abstract:
... A number of cities have developed an elevated walkway network within street canyons in order to alleviate pedestrian congestion.

Nowadays, the roots of left-hand traffic (LHT) and right-hand traffic (RHT) – including fighting on horse-back and whipping horses that are drawing carriages – are at an all-time low; thus, it is time to assess and appreciate the nexus of road-safety practices and human neurophysiology. We hypothesize that safety of LHT and RHT can be associated with neurophysiology. We summarize scattered empiric ...

Lines perpetuate order in an otherwise world of chaos. Lines frame how we distinguish between order and chaos. In parking, lines frame a legitimized rectangle of vehicular occupancy. In other words, the marked parkin ...
