Parameter Fuzzy Self-Adaptive Dynamic Window Approach for Local Path Planning of Wheeled Robot

As a classic algorithm for realizing robot local path planning, the dynamic window approach (DWA) uses an objective function to choose the optimal velocity commands. However, the path generated by the DWA in the complex environment is not s...

Theoretical basis for development of indicators for improving training and retraining of specialists and passenger road transport personnel

Introduction. The theoretical basis for the development of indicators for improving the training and retraining of road transport personnel is aimed, first of all, at ensuring the results of transportation and technical operation activities...

Departure Time and Route Choices With Accurate Information Under Binary Stochastic Bottleneck Capacity in the Morning Commute

Uncertainty, a critical factor of causing congestion and extra travel costs in the commute, can be mitigated by providing information. This paper studies the welfare effects of accurate pre-trip information on departure time and route choic...

Evolution characteristics of seepage-stress fields and optimization of waterproof-drainage system during operation period of urban tunnels with small interval

The long-term structural safety issues of water-rich tunnels under complex hydrogeological conditions during operation period and their mutual interaction mechanism with groundwater environment are receiving increasing attention. To study t...

An Association Rule Based Method to Integrate Metro-Public Bicycle Smart Card Data for Trip Chain Analysis

Smart card data provide valuable insights and massive samples for enhancing the understanding of transfer behavior between metro and public bicycle. However, smart cards for metro and public bicycle are often issued and managed by independe...

Impact of biomass ash content on biocomposite properties

Owing to its low cost and sustainable nature, lignocellulosic biomass has been utilized for reinforcing polymers, but it is crucial to understand the impact of high-ash concentrations in biomass on composite strength and processing. Biomass...

Radio communication-based method for analysis of train driving in an ERTMS signaling environment

Abstract Background ERTMS is an important project improving cross-border interoperability throughout Europe by a single rail signaling standard. One advantage following this development is a standardized radio signaling, which can be tracke...

Environmentally friendly magnesium potassium phosphate cement-based coating with high anti-corrosion performance on iron

Magnesium potassium phosphate cement-based (MKPC) coating is regarded as an attractive green coating that improves the corrosion resistance of metals. Unfortunately, practical use remains challenging owing to the rapid solidification and ha...

Unsteady Aerodynamic Characteristics of a High-Speed Train Induced by the Sudden Change of Windbreak Wall Structure: A Case Study of the Xinjiang Railway

Under strong winds, the effect of sudden windbreak transition (WT) on high-speed trains is severe, leading to a deterioration of train aerodynamics and sudden yawing motion of the car body. To address these problems, based on a high-speed t...

Spatiotemporal Speed Planning for Multi-Vehicle Cooperative Driving With Dynamic Following Relationships

In Autonomous Valet Parking scenarios, multiple vehicles operate cooperatively in low-speed environments where the leading-vehicle constraint may be dynamically reconstructed due to path transitions. Under such conditions, conventional spee...

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...

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...

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...
