Introduction to transportation engineering

The COVID-19 Pandemic and Transportation Engineering

The COVID-19 pandemic has been an enormous global disruption with immense economic, environmental, and social impacts throughout the world. Only world wars and the flu pandemic of 1918 are comparable in the wide range of consequences, inclu...

Computing with Bees: Attacking Complex Transportation Engineering Problems

The Bee System (an artificial bee swarm) is introduced in this paper. The proposed approach is applied to the Traveling Salesman Problem. The obtained results are very promising. The potential applications of the developed Bee System in the...

Transportation Engineering

The shipments were absolutely necessary at all times, but still have polluted and damaged the environment. The technique of transport or the engineering of transport is the application of the principles of technology and scientific findings...

An introduction to transportation engineering

INTRODUCTION TO TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

Providing a complete overview of transportation engineering, this new book offers an up-to-date introduction to the planning, design, and operations of both highways and transit....

Journal of Transportation Engineering

The Journal of Transportation Engineering contains technical and professional articles on the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of air, highway, rail, and urban transportation, as well as pipeline facilities for wat...

Enhanced Satellite Monitoring of Dryland Vegetation Water Potential Through Multi‐Source Sensor Fusion

Abstract Drylands are critical in regulating global carbon sequestration, but the resiliency of these semi‐arid shrub, grassland and forest systems is under threat from global warming and intensifying water stress. We used synergistic satel...

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers

Abstract Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and determined their characteristics across 86 debris‐c...

Publisher Correction: Glacial–interglacial Nd isotope variability of North Atlantic Deep Water modulated by North American ice sheet

An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via a link at the top of the paper....

Searching for galaxy cluster-scale strong lenses from the DESI legacy imaging surveys

IntroductionGalaxy cluster-scale strong gravitational lensing systems are rare yet valuable tools for investigating dark matter and dark energy, as well as providing the opportunity to study the distant universe at flux levels and spatial r...

Algae-Mamba: A Spatially Variable Mamba for Algae Extraction From Remote Sensing Images

To maintain marine ecosystem health, effective algae monitoring is essential. Traditional threshold-based methods and standard machine learning techniques often fall short in accurately and automatically distinguishing algae types. This stu...

Termometría de dos piroxenos en condros de la condrita ordinaria Nuevo Mercurio H5, México

  En este trabajo se reconstruye la historia térmica de algunos condros de la condrita ordinaria Nuevo Mercurio H5. Con base en evidencias texturales fue posible discriminar las temperaturas propias de la formación de condros de aquéllas...

SHORT NOTE - World’s deepest karst hydrologic system documented in Sierra de Juárez, Oaxaca, Mexico

Mexico is rapidly being recognized as possessing some of the most spectacular and deepest caves in the world. Six of the 46 cave systems in the world that have been explored to depths greater than 1,000 m are in Mexico (Minton, 1994). Two o...

ICESat‐2 Pointing Calibration and Geolocation Performance

Abstract ICESat‐2 science requirements are dependent on the accurate real‐time pointing control (i.e., geolocation control) and postprocessed geolocation knowledge of the laser altimeter surface returns. Prelaunch pointing alignment errors ...

The Concept of the Geotourism Potential and Its Practical Application: A Case Study of the Prządki (the Spinners) Nature Reserve in the Carpathians, Poland

This paper reviews the recent use of the term “geotourism potential” in the scientific literature and proposes a new approach to the concept of geotourism potential. The concept assumes that every geotourism object has the well-developed fe...

Adsorption Preceding Wetting Front Controls Seismic Velocity

Abstract Rock elasticity varies with both humidity and water saturation, yet their combined effects remain poorly understood, although in nature vapor adsorption and liquid infiltration occur simultaneously. Here, we present experimental da...

A comparison of regularized, sharp boundary and tear zone inversions along an MT profile in Sabalan geothermal field, Iran

This paper investigates magnetotelluric (MT) data recorded along a profile in the Sabalan geothermal region, NW of Iran. To find the range of relevant models consistent with the data, this study employed the so-called regularized, tear zone...

ProtoMix: Unified Prototype Learning for Semantic Change Detection in Remote Sensing

As an emerging topic, semantic change detection (SCD) in remote sensing aims to both identify the locations of changes before and after events and determine the land cover (LC) classes of changed regions. While deep learning has demonstrate...

A detailed analysis of some local earthquakes at Somma-Vesuvius

In this paper, we analyze local earthquakes which occurred at Somma-Vesuvius during two episodes of intense seismic swarms, in 1989 and 1995 respectively. For the selected earthquakes we have computed accurate hypocentral locations, focal m...
