Integrating Activity-Based Models with Mobile Phone Data: Advances in Traffic Modeling and Multi-Agent Simulation analyzes the path from the observation to prediction using traffic big data. The book explores the refined identification method of individual travel chains in the diversified and complex urban travel environment, reconstructing the structure and algorithms of Activity-based Models or ABM based on the characteristics identified by mobile phone signaling data. Final sections dev...

What changes when machines no longer merely answer questions—but choose suppliers, allocate budgets, make purchases, and act under real constraints?Machine Economics examines the economic consequences of machine-operated decisions. Through seventy-three short, connected chapters, Fei Yang explores the emerging questions of machine-level action, demand, capital, identity, reputation, verification, liquidity, authority, and systemic risk.The book begins with a simple distinct...

This book is devoted to the technology and methodology of individual travel behavior analysis and refined travel information extraction. Traditional resident trip surveys are characterized by many shortcomings, such as subjective memory errors, difficulty in organization and high cost. Therefore, in this book, a set of refined extraction and analysis techniques for individual travel activities is proposed. It provides a solid foundation for the optimization and reconstruction of traffic th...

Traditional resident travel surveys have limited the development of traffic planning theory and traffic model technology. Although mobile phone signaling data has been widely used to analyze macro urban travel characteristics, travel patterns, and travel behavior due to the advantages such as wide coverage, dynamic performance, and low collection costs, its potential and reliability in collecting individual travel chain information lacked demonstration and consensus.This book aims ...

This book uses patent documents to examine how corporations rise, expand, and reinvent themselves, leveraging the scope of patent protection to assess the value of new products. Rather than merely recounting company histories or chronicling legal battles, the author delves into patent documents—often overlooked yet deeply revealing sources—to capture the essence of how innovation truly unfolds and redefines entire industries.What sets this work apart is its method of viewing patent...

This book presents recent theoretical advances in the analysis and synthesis of discrete-time switched systems under the time-dependent switching scheme, including stability and disturbance attenuation performance analysis, control and filtering, asynchronous switching, finite-time analysis and synthesis, and reachable set estimation. It discusses time-scheduled technology, which can achieve a better performance and reduce conservatism compared with the traditional time-independent approac...
