A facile method for the synthesis of size-and shape-controlled CuInS2 semiconductor nanocrystals was developed by thermolysis of a mixed solution of Cu (acac)2, In (acac)3 and dodecanethiol at 200 °C. By adjusting the reaction time, CuInS2 nanocrystals with size of ~2 to ~6 nm were obtained. The as-prepared nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The nanocrystals solutions exhibit tunable absorption and PL spectra with the absorption edge ranging from 450 to 750 nm while the PL emission peaks from 660 to 700, indicting a strong size-dependent quantum confinement effect. The proposed synthesis strategy developed in this work may be used as a general process for other metal chalcogenides nanocrystals and may have a bright application prospects in different areas, such photovoltaic application, in the future.

ITS deployment was adopted to improve traffic operation. Actuated control and advanced traffic management have been deployed in the project area. Driving is a multitasking activity that requires drivers to manage their attention between various driving-and non-driving-related tasks. This paper discusses the problem of modeling realistic and human-like behaviors on simulated highway systems by developing a framework. This framework consists of four units that are the perception unit, the emotions unit, the decision-making unit, and the decision-implementation unit. This paper has researched on the automatic vehicle driving mode (The Advanced Vehicle Control and Safety System) at the four-lane highway. Automated vehicle decision-making procedure is discussed in this research. Two safety indices of automate vehicle driving are explored. In real experiment, TBC index may be good for commending evaluating automate vehicle driving behavior.
