A Two-Level Model for Traffic Signal Timing and Trajectories Planning of Multiple CAVs in a Random Environment by Yangsheng Jiang, Bin Zhao, Meng Liu, Zhihong Yao

“…The average reduction of vehicle’s delay and gasoline consumption are 26.91% and 10.38%, respectively, for a two-phase signalized intersection. In addition, sensitivity analysis indicates that the minimum green time and free-flow speed have a noticeable effect on the average vehicle’s delay and gasoline consumption.…”

Neopragmatism and speculative realism by A. V. Morozov

“…Despite the fact that many representatives of this trend have repeatedly spoken about Richard Rorty exclusively in a critical spirit, their critical strategies, which aspire to overcome representationalism (Rorty) and correlationism (speculative realism) in philosophy, intersect in many important respects. Thus, Rorty and Meillassoux approach the concept of contingency that underlies their projects in a similar vein. …”
