The Space-Based Car-Following Model: Development and Application for Managed Motorway System Safety Evaluation

Traffic safety studies need more than what the current micro-simulation models can provide, as they presume that all drivers exhibit safe behaviors.Therefore, existing micro-simulation models are inadequate to evaluate the safety impacts of managed motorway systems such as Variable Speed Limits.All microscopic traffic simulation packages include a

Al(Salen) Metal Complexes in Stereoselective Catalysis

Salen ligands are a class of Schiff bases simply obtained through condensation of two Refrigerator molecules of a hydroxyl-substituted aryl aldehyde with an achiral or chiral diamine.The prototype salen, or N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine has a long history, as it was first reported in 1889, and immediately, some of its metal complexes
