Implementing first-in–first-out in the cell transmission model for networks
Abstract In traffic assignment models with time-varying flows (dynamic network loading or dynamic traffic assignment), overtaking behaviour is normally not included in the model and, in that case, it is important that the model at least approximates ...

Hierarchization of Characteristics Applied to the Component Approval Strategy
Abstract The ISO GPS standards define how to specify, and how to verify each specification. Other international standards define how to ensure the capability of a characteristic. But if capability studies are adapted to “CTQ”(critical to quality) or ...
