Abstract:
AbstractThis paper contributes to our understanding of why delegitimising focusing events, combined with the mobilisation of policy losers, does not always result in major policy change by undermining a monopolistic policy image and policy subsystem. Based on a close enquiry of American biofuel policy development, it argues that we can make headway in this endeavour by focusing on three factors: first, the congruence of a policy image with core values of the polity; second, the multidimensionality of a policy image; and third, policy image management strategies that maintain cohesion among coa

Abstract:
A microscopic traffic flow model based on the constant-time-headway policy and McRuer’s man-machine crossover model was designed. Automatic control theory concepts were employed in the model formulation. The constant-time-headway policy was used to generate the command model of a human driver’s decision for vehicle acceleration or deceleration. This command is the input signal fed into the driver-vehicle dynamics suggested by the crossover model. The proposed model was mathematically formulated, designed, implemented, and numerically simulated. The stability properties and validity of the prop

Abstract:
Nowadays, the total volume of passenger trip demand has increased due to population and economic growth. In this situation , government policy encourages people to use public transportation for inter-city trips. In the meantime, buses are the most widely used in transit technology today. The most important issue in buses service is timely arrival. Due to the limited capacity of the streets and increasing car production, we cannot devote a specific lane to bus operation to separate their operation from other traffic. Generally, actual arrival time of buses in comparison to planned arrival time

After reviewing the operational meaning of the “family-responsive” workplace and assessing relevant data about its extent, it is concluded that American businesses have made modest headway in instituting such practices and that it is illusory to expect that market solutions will deliver good or equitable family policy in the forseeable future. The economic benefits of these policies for businesses have not been demonstrated, and impending labor shortages offer uncertain promise of basic change in business policy.

ABSTRACTStatutory design is the source of many problems encountered in implementation, yet policy scholars have not made much headway in providing coherent and consistent advice for framing smarter statutes. There is a great deal of disagreement about how much discretion statutes should leave to implementers, and four distinct and conflicting schools of thought have emerged. This article advises that none of the perspectives is always correct and patterns for allocating discretion should take into account the implementation context.

A critical evaluation of Murray's research shows that he has focused on microeconomic issues at the expense of a consideration of wider structural changes, and that the book is thus flawed in a number of ways.

As a quintessential long-term policy problem, climate change poses two major challenges. The first is to develop, under considerable uncertainty, a plan for allocating resources over time to achieve an effective policy response. The second is to implement this plan, once arrived at, consistently over time. We consider the second of these two challenges, arguing that it consists of three interrelated, commitment problems—the time inconsistency problem, the domestic politics problem, and the anarchy problem.

Comparing with the general constant time headway policy (CTHP), the QSP is more suitable to the human driving behaviors (HDB) and can improve the traffic capacity. Then, a novel platoon control scheme is proposed based on the distributed integrated sliding mode (DISM). Since the external disturbances are taken into conside

Abstract:
The decrease in coordination and transaction costs on account of information technology creates more opportunities for firms to make production “footloose”; it allows firms to base different parts of their business in different countries and connect them by real time information networks. The rapid growth in information services is thus facilitating the integrated international production of goods and services. This paper discusses the linkages between information technology and economic globalisation, and examines the reality of developing countries in relation to the perceived benefits of in

Abstract:
Public transport systems can be characterised by a schedule-based or a frequency-based framework according to the kind of service to be operated. In the former case, specific departure and arrival times are set for each run and disclosed to the users; in the latter, instead, it is necessary to maintain a certain headway between two successive runs, rather than a specific timetable structure. This paper focuses on modelling frequency-based systems, which can be described by means of the so-called Merry-Go-Round (MGR) paradigm. The paradigm is first discussed and the related analytical formulati

Abstract:
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) will undoubtedly transform many aspects of transportation systems in the future. In the meantime, transportation agencies must make investment and policy decisions to address the future needs of the transportation system. This research provides much-needed guidance for agencies about planning-level capacities in a CAV future and quantify Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) capacities as a function of CAV penetration rates and vehicle behaviors such as car-following, lane change, and merge. As a result of numerous uncertainties on CAV implementation policies, t

Abstract:
Thailand’s health system, dating back to the 1880s, was traditionally anchored in hospital medicine. Thus, when the family medicine concept was introduced in the 1980s, it was immediately perceived as relating to a hospital-based doctor without a specific specialization. Workforce is a crucial issue for the reform. Overall shortage of human resources is not the only issue. In each facility there should be staff fit to function. The question of human resources can indeed be tackled only when there is an agreement on what is expected from first line services that are close to the population.When

Applicability of the cost-effective strategy used in Switzerland that successfully integrates all public transport for the entire country into a multi-hub timed-transfer system (pulsed-hub network) is investigated using the greater San Francisco Bay Area as an illustrative case study. For the existing and proposed Bay Area rail service routes, the study investigates the optimal repeating (clock-face) base headway for the pulsed-hub network, hub spacing, and locations (ideally adjacent to dense and diverse land uses providing destinations within walking distance, preferably a downtown), and hub

 Behaviour movement of vehicles on the highway segment is the basis for the development of a lot of traffic modeling. Development of traffic modeling on the number of vehicles is used macroscopically for an extensive road network. This study aims to find the relationship between the level of service to the fundamental diagram. Therefore, this relationship can be used to develop information systems for the transportation stakeholders or control the current flow on the freeway.

To solve the problems of bus bunching and large gaps, this study combines bus holding and speed adjusting to alleviate them respectively considering the characteristics of passenger’s perceived waiting time. The difference between passenger’s perceived waiting time at stops and actual time is described quantitatively through the expected waiting time of passengers. Bus holding based on a threshold method is implemented at any stops for bunching buses, and speed adjusting based on a Markovian decision model is implemented at limited stops for lagging buses.

This paper is focused on the distributed control of connected vehicles via vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. A mixed predecessor following topology with a virtual leader under constant time headway policy is analysed in case of communication and input delays. The longitudinal dynamics of each vehicle in the platoon is represented by a third-order linear model. Unavoidable communication and input delays are introduced into the platoon structure which converts the characteristic equation of the system into a transcendental type. The stability regions of the system in delay space are obtain

With the considerable increase in ownership of motor vehicles, traffic crashes have become a challenge. This paper presents a study of naturalistic driving conducted to collect driving data. The experiments were performed on different road types in the city of Wuhan in China. The collected driving data were used to develop a near-crash database, which covers driving behavior, near-crash factors, driving environment, time, demographics, and experience. A new definition of near-crash events is also proposed. The new definition considers potential risks in driving behavior, such as braking pressu

Abstract:
Lane-changing behavior is one of the most common driving behaviors while driving. Due to the complexity of its operation, vehicle collision accidents are prone to occur when changing lanes. Under the environment of vehicle networking, drivers can obtain more accurate traffic information in time, which can be of great help in terms of improving lane-changing safety. This paper analyzes the core factors that affect the safety of vehicles changing lanes, establishes the weight model of influencing factors of lane-changing behavior using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and obtains the calcul

In recent years, China has embraced the idea of soft power with ever more keen interest. Today, soft power is Beijing’s key strategy in international politics, albeit not in the way the concept is understood and applied in the West. However, this strategy can hardly be said to have yielded fruit in Africa despite China’s growing visibility and presence over the last two decades. This article aims at probing this issue by examining how China’s soft power is manifested in Tanzania. In an attempt to show that soft power is not entirely a new practice in international politics, the article first a
