Separate DOD and DOA Estimation for Bistatic MIMO Radar

A novel MUSIC-type algorithm is derived in this paper for the direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in a bistatic MIMO radar. Through rearranging the received signal matrix, we illustrate that the DOD and th...

Possibilities of using liquefied oil gas in transport

The trends of the input of an alternative type of fuel in the transport system of the European Union are analysed. Taking into account the measures of promoting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consumption in road transport, a bundle of specif...

Surface Reconstruction Adopting Laser Plane of Linear Path System Registered by Parallel Constraint

A surface reconstruction technology, which is contributed from the parallel constraint between two laser planes, is introduced and achieved by a laser projector guided by a linear path system. The projection geometry is constructed by the p...

An Integrated Decision Support Model for Evaluating Public Transport Quality

Big cities suffer from serious complex problems such as air pollution, congestion, and traffic accidents. Developing public transport quality in such cities is considered an efficient remedy to obviate these critical issues. This paper aims...

PROPOSING A FRAMEWORK FOR ESTABLISHING A GREEN ENERGY LOGISTIC HUB: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN EGYPT

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has emphasized the opportunity to create "hydrogen hubs" to reduce costs associated with low-carbon hydrogen pathways. A "hub" is a region capable of aggregating hydrogen demand, typically found in coas...

Characterizing particle crushing behavior of dry granular soils by acoustic emission

This study investigates particle crushing mechanisms in granular soils during shearing through staged triaxial compression experiments performed at prescribed axial strains and varying confining stresses, integrating a high-performance acou...

Editorial: introduction to group research projects developed within an intensive programme in railway and logistics

This paper introduces a special issue of the Journal Transport Problems on group research projects developed within the RailNewcastle summer school organised and held in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England. The participants (both educat...

ECONOMIC AND LEGAL GROUNDS FOR INVESTMENT IN DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

Purpose. In Ukraine, as in many countries of the world, transport is one of the most fundamental sectors of the national economy, important part of the industrial and social spheres. But in the conditions of industry reforming there are pro...

The Economic Impact of Environmentally Sustainable Transport in Germany

The economic assessment of the Environmentally Sustainable Transportation (EST) scenarios developed throughout this paper are part of Phase 3 of the overall project, which is on social and economic assessment and on devising packages of ins...

An improved Harris corner detection method for honeycomb structures

Structural defects and cell irregularity significantly impact the performance and safety of honeycomb structures. Thus, various image processing techniques have been employed to evaluate the cell shape and detect structural defects within t...

Effects of drivers evasive behavior on the placement of automated enforcement equipment in highway systems

The placement of automated enforcement equipment on highways is a problem of interest for many roadway infrastructure entities and law enforcement agencies. It is common that in such cases the vehicles actively try to evade enforcement, bec...

Numerical investigation of corroded middle‐high strength pipeline subjected to combined internal pressure and axial compressive loading

Abstract Buried oil and gas pipelines may face the threat of geological disasters such as landslides, faults, and floods. However, long‐term buried oil and gas pipelines often have corrosion defects, which bring greater challenges to the sa...

Machine Learning–Based Prediction of Organic Solar Cell Performance Using Molecular Descriptors

The performance of Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) is intrinsically linked to the molecular, electronic, and structural properties of donor and acceptor materials. This study employs various machine learning techniques, namely the Generalized Re...

The effect of freeze-thaw cycles on the frost resistance of energy tunnels in cold regions

Seasonal temperature fluctuations in cold regions induce freeze–thaw cycles that can significantly impact the structural safety and maintenance of tunnels. This study uses the Daban Mountain Tunnel as a case study to develop a full-scale nu...

Minimizing the Sum of Makespan and Total Weighted Tardiness in a No-Wait Flowshop

This paper presents a cloud theory-based iterated greedy (CTIG) algorithm for solving the no-wait flowshop scheduling problem (NWFSP) with the objective of minimizing the sum of makespan and total weighted tardiness. The performance of the ...
