This research paper aims to investigate the effects of gradual deployment of market penetration rates (MPR) of connected vehicles (MPR of CVs) on delay time and fuel consumption.
Abstract
Purpose
This research paper aims to investigate the effects of gradual deployment of market penetration rates (MPR) of connected vehicles (MPR of CVs) on delay time and fuel consumption.
Design/methodology/approach
A real-world origin-destination demand matrix survey was conducted in Boston, MA to identify the number of peak hour passing vehicles in the case study.
Findings
The results showed that as the number of CVs (MPR) in the network increases, the total delay time decreases by an average of 14% and the fuel consumption decreases by an average of 56%, respectively, from scenarios 3 to 15 compared to scenario 2.
Research limitations/implications
The first limitation of this study was considering a small network. The considered network shows a small part of the case study.
Originality/value
This study can be a milestone for future research regarding gradual deployment of CVs’ effects on transport networks. Efficient policy(s) may define based on the results of this network for Brockton transport network.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to assess the maturity of human resource management (HRM) processes of the Sazehgostar Co. based on human resource (HR) process survey tool (PST) and provide solutions for them.
Design/methodology/approach
The HR PST was adopted as the reference model. Data were collected through interviews with HR experts and reviewing organisational documents. A scoring system (based on RADAR logic) is introduced to score the interviews and documents.
Findings
Each element of HR PST consists of ten maturity levels. The results of the assessment showed that the overall average of the organisation’s HRM processes maturity is at level 2. The process of data management and HR systems with a score of five received the highest score, and the organisational capability development, talent management and rewards and recognition processes with a score of 1 received the lowest score.
Practical implications
These findings enable management and HR management to measure the quality of HR processes and help them to prioritise development actions.
Originality/value
The existing literature does not present empirical research in the field of the maturity of HRM. Also, the analysis method used in this study will help organisations to perform self-assessment and determine the maturity of their processes.
