Traffic Fatalities and Urban Infrastructure: A Spatial Variability Study Using Geographically Weighted Poisson Regression Applied in Cali (Colombia)

The mobility plan and the road infrastructure works implemented, together with the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) connected bus system in its first two phases, generated optimistic expectations about the reduction of lethal crashes in the city. Th...

Effect of fire-source location on flame behavior and temperature distribution in subway carriages with multiple lateral openings

Urban rail transit has been widely adopted to alleviate surface traffic congestion. However, subway fire safety remains a critical concern because of the confined carriage space, high occupant density, and complex ventilation conditions. Mo...

Image encoding-based bearing fault diagnosis: Review and challenges for high-speed trains

High-Speed Trains (HSTs) have emerged as a mainstream mode of transportation in China, owing to their exceptional safety and efficiency. Ensuring the reliable operation of HSTs is of paramount economic and societal importance. As critical r...

Deflection and bending moment dynamic load allowance of runway bridges: Theoretical and numerical studies

Runway bridges offer a practical structural solution for airport construction in terrain-constrained areas. However, their dynamic behavior under aircraft landing loads remains insufficiently studied, and design-oriented theoretical guidanc...

Fuzzy Constrained Predictive Optimal Control of High Speed Train with Actuator Dynamics

We investigate the problem of fuzzy constrained predictive optimal control of high speed train considering the effect of actuator dynamics. The dynamics feature of the high speed train is modeled as a cascade of cars connected by flexible c...
