MICROCOMPUTER EXPERT SYSTEMS IN TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

This paper reviews microcomputer-based expert systems in transportation engineering. Expert systems have great potential for solving ill-structured problems and for becoming useful tools for practicing transportation engineers. First, a bri...

Fundamentals of transportation engineering

Assessment of Introductory Transportation Engineering Course and General Transportation Engineering Curriculum

Transportation engineering is a critical subdiscipline of the civil engineering profession as indicated by its inclusion on the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination and overlap with other specialty areas of civil engineering and as recog...

Control Strategies, Economic Benefits, and Challenges of Vehicle-to-Grid Applications: Recent Trends Research

With the rapid growth in the number of EVs, a huge number of EVs are connected to the power grid for charging, which places a great amount of pressure on the stable operation of the power grid. This paper focuses on the development of V2G a...

Effects of Titanate Coupling Agent on Engineering Properties of Asphalt Binders and Mixtures Incorporating LLDPE-CaCO3 Pellet

This study was initiated to evaluate the performance of asphalt binders and mixtures incorporating linear low-density polyethylene- calcium carbonate (LLDPE-CaCO3) pellet, either with or without titanate coupling agent. The detailed manufac...

Effects of adding bamboo fiber on various aspects of concrete performance: A state-of-the-art review

This review systematically examines the role of bamboo fiber (BF) in enhancing the performance of cement-based composites, with a particular focus on workability, mechanical properties, durability, and sustainability. BF, as a renewable and...

Designing Functional Carriage of High-Speed Medical Train – Systematic Analysis and Evaluation of Tasks, Functions and Flow Routes

This paper proposes a functional carriage design and an evaluation index system to improve the operational efficiency of high-speed medical trains. Hierarchical task analysis and human-machine-environment analysis were applied to model the ...

Seismic Risk Assessment of Ancient Timber Structures Based on Improved Matter-element Extension Model

In order to accurately predict the risk level of ancient timber structures under earthquake,22 evaluation indexes were selected, including hazard of disaster-causing factors, susceptibility assessment of disaster environment, and vulnerabil...

The Impacts of the Multiscale Built Environment on Commuting Mode Choice: Spatial Heterogeneity, Moderating Effects, and Implications for Demand Estimation

Promoting the usage of sustainable commuting modes requires in-depth understanding about residents’ commuting mode choice behavior. This study presents an empirical study to investigate the relationship between the built environment and com...

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...

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...

Seismic Monitoring in Severo-Kurilsk Before and After the July 29 (30), 2025 Earthquake Based on Data from an Engineering Seismometric Station

In April 2024, an engineering seismometric station was installed in a residential building in Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island, Sakhalin Oblast) to obtain information about the vibrations of structures and adjacent ground areas during eart...

Excitation thresholds of field-aligned irregularities and associated ionospheric hysteresis at very high latitudes observed using SPEAR-induced HF radar backscatter

On 10 October 2006 the SPEAR high power radar facility was operated in a power-stepping mode where both CUTLASS radars were detecting backscatter from the SPEAR-induced field-aligned irregularities (FAIs). The effective radiated power of...

Observations on Stratospheric-Mesospheric-Thermospheric temperatures using Indian MST radar and co-located LIDAR during Leonid Meteor Shower (LMS)

The temporal and height statistics of the occurrence of meteor trails during the Leonid meteor shower revealed the capability of the Indian MST radar to record large numbers of meteor trails. The distribution of radio meteor trails du...

Seismic-induced accelerations detected by two parallel gravity meters in continuous recording with a high sampling rate at Etna volcano

We analyse a microgravity data set acquired from two spring LaCoste & Romberg gravity meters operated in parallel at the same site on Etna volcano (Italy) for about two months (August – September 2005). The high sampling rate acquisitio...

Review of progress in passive seismic reflection exploration

Seismic exploration is a key method for the study of underground structures. Active seismic surveys can acquire high signal-to-noise ratio reflection data; however, the operation of active seismic surveys is complicated, and the exploration...

Ice Nucleation Enhancement in Ambient Aerosols Under High‐Salinity Conditions: Insights From Cloud Chamber Experiments

Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a role in mixed‐phase clouds, yet the processes controlling their properties remain poorly understood. Water‐soluble salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) depress the freezing temperature of clou...
