Book excerpt: Canada and the United States exchange the world's highest level of bilateral trade, valued at $1.4 billion a day. Two-thirds of this trade travels on trucks. Heavy Traffic examines the way in which the regulatory reform of American and Canadian trucking, coupled with free trade, has internationalized this vital industry. Before deregulation, restrictive entry rules had fostered two separate national highway transportation markets, and most international traffic had to be exchanged at the border. When the United States deregulated first, the imbalance between its opened market and Canada's still-restricted one produced a surprisingly difficult bilateral dispute. American deregulation was motivated by domestic incentives, but the subsequent Canadian deregulation blended domestic incentives with transborder rate comparisons and concerns about trade competitiveness. Daniel Madar shows that deregulation created a de facto regime of free trade in trucking services. Removing regulatory barriers has enabled Canadian and American carriers to follow the expansion of transborder traffic that began with the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement and continues with NAFTA. The services available with deregulated trucking have also supported sweeping changes in industrial logistics. As transborder traffic has surged, the two countries' carriers -- from billion-dollar corporations to family firms -- have exploited the latitude provided by deregulation. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the policy processes and economic conditions that led to trucking deregulation. As a study in public policy formation and the international effects of reform, it will be of interest to students and scholars of political economy, international relations, and transportation.

Download or read book The M M Service System with Ranked Servers in Heavy Traffic written by G.F. Newell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are concerned here with a service facility consisting of a large (- finite) number of servers in parallel. The service times for all servers are identical, but there is a preferential ordering of the servers. Each newly arriving customer enters the lowest ranked available server and remains there until his service is completed. It is assumed that customers arrive according to a Poisson process of rate A , that all servers have exponentially distributed service times with rate ~ and that a = A/~ is large compared with 1. Generally, we are concerned with the stochastic properties of the random function N(s ,t) describing the number of busy servers among the first s ordered servers at time t. Most of the analysis is motivated by special applications of this model to telephone traffic. If one has a brunk line with s primary channels, but a large number (00) of secondary (overflow) channels, each newly arriving customer is assigned to one of the primary channels if any are free; otherwise, he is assigned to a secondary channel. The primary and secondary channels themselves could have a preferential ordering. For some purposes, it is convenient to imagine that they did even if an ordering is irrelevant.

Book excerpt: Few people would suspect that mild-mannered Sean "Recon" Wallace was one of the most powerful men in the country - financially, politically, and physically. Content to spend his time alone in the wilderness of Southwest Georgia, the former Force Recon Marine never expected to stumble upon the scene where three men were preparing to make a pornographic snuff film. Rescuing the woman from the filmmakers was only the beginning, however. Informed that there was a shipment of captured young girls about to be sold into prostitution, and that someone in his own company is involved in the human trafficking conspiracy, Sean teams with a beautiful Australian heiress to save the girls, restore his corporate legacy, and prove that power deferred is not power lost. Adventure, mystery, romance and humor - the trademarks of a novel by Alex Fogel, are once again in abundant supply throughout "Heavy Traffic on a Dirt Road".
Download or read book Asphalt Pavements written by Patrick Lavin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asphalt Pavements provides the know-how behind the design, production and maintenance of asphalt pavements and parking lots. Incorporating the latest technology, this book is the first to focus primarily on the design, production and maintenance of low-volume roads and parking areas. Special attention is given to determining the traffic capacity, required thickness and asphalt mixture type for parking applications. Topics covered include: material information such as binder properties, testing grading and selection; construction information such as mixing plant operation, proportioning, mixture placement and compaction; and design information such as thickness and mixture design methods and guidelines on applying these to highways, city streets and parking Areas. It is an essential practical guide aimed at those engineers and architects who are not directly involved in the asphalt industry, but who nonetheless need to have a good general knowledge of the subject. Asphalt Pavements provides a novice with enough information to completely design, construct and specify an asphalt pavement.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequences of queueing facilities with r parallel arrival channels and s parallel service channels are studied under the conditions of heavy traffic: the associated sequences of traffic intensities approaching a limit greater than or equal to one. Weak convergence is obtained for sequences of random functions induced in D(0,1) by the basic queueing processes. Sequences of queueing systems in heavy traffic which are networks of the facilities described above are also investigated. Furthermore, customers are allowed to arrive and be served in batches.
