A simple method to detect the boundaries of a road from images is proposed. General considerations for the calculation of a bird`s-eye view transformation and the use of histograms are established. A high-level algorithm...

Abstract Proper braking force distribution strategies can improve both stability and economy performance of hybrid electric vehicles, which is prominently proved by many studies. To achieve better dynamic stable performa...

The motion planning is a critical component of autonomous navigation, requiring the vehicle to reach a target location safely. Traditional navigation approaches for four-wheel differential drive automated guided vehicles...

Abstract Pacific island countries (PICs) located in a region with relatively insufficient capacity to respond to public health emergencies, establishing reliable public health cooperation is conducive to maintaining secu...

Abstract Background As a newly emerging collaborative platform to boost regional growth and prosperity, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has great potential to promote global health development. However, the overall he...

This article examines three aspects of China’s digital diplomacy efforts about the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on Twitter between February 9th 2019 to January 3rd 2020. First, it explores the frequency and geographi...

Cities worldwide are geared to promote economic growth, improve accessibility, address environmental issues, and enhance the quality of life. However, the processes that lead to the design of urban roads, particularly th...

An investigation was carried out to explore the effect of citric, hydrochloric, oxalic and tartaric acids on mercury vapor generation in a flow injection system in conjunction with atomic absorption spectrometry detectio...

Abstract In 1946, Mao Zedong began to elaborate his theory of the Third World from the perception that there would be an ‘intermediate zone’ of countries between the two superpowers. From there, he concluded that Afr...

ABSTRACT Wildlife roadkills have become a concern in the Amazon biome due to the opening of major roads in recent decades. In this study, we aimed to describe wildlife roadkills in a 100-km stretch of the BR-163 highway,...

Cutleaf teasel is a biennial, invasive weed found along roadsides throughout much of the central USA. Long-term management should, ideally, integrate chemical and cultural practices. Research in Missouri along Interstate...

The concept of international security has numerous dimensions and interpretations, because of a wide scope of threats and challenges, which have various roots and reasons and depend on the region of the development of a ...

La mortalidad de vertebrados en carreteras es un problema generalizado alrededor del mundo, pero poco documentado en Colombia. Describo la mortalidad de mamíferos registrada en la vía El Escobero (Envigado, Antioquia) ...

Video-based road intelligent detection constitutes a critical component in modern intelligent transportation systems, serving as a crucial role for comprehensive transportation planning and emergency traffic management. ...

Abstract Current studies on cable harness layouts have mainly focused on cable harness route planning. However, the topological structure of a cable harness is also extremely complex, and the branch structure of the cabl...

Abstract Enhancing ride comfort has always constituted a crucial focus in the design and research of modern tracked vehicles, heavily reliant on the driving system’s performance. While the road wheel is a key component...

The estimation and analysis of road traffic represent the preliminary steps towards satisfying the current needs for smooth, safe, and green transportation. Therefore, effective traffic monitoring is an essential topic a...

Abstract The residual coal pillar and adjacent goafs in the upper coal seam have a superposition effect on the stress environment of the lower coal seam in close distance coal seams with downward mining. Therefore, it is...

Abstract Background Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a major global public health problem, causing approximately 1.19 million deaths and 50 million injuries annually, with a disproportionate burden in low- and middle-...

With the growing interest in autonomous driving, there is an increasing demand for accurate and reliable road perception technologies. In complex environments without high-definition map support, autonomous vehicles must...

Efficient and highly accurate road crack detection algorithms are particularly important in road inspection systems. However, some of their limitations have gradually come to the fore as the target detection aspect has b...

Abstract Background Road traffic deaths (RTDs) are a major global public health concern. Thailand reports the world’s highest fatality rate, at 32.2 deaths per 100,000 population. Despite safety initiatives, evidence o...

Abstract Background China launched the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) aiming to develop a mutually-beneficial, sustainable trade model with partner countries. The processes of international health exchanges are key parts...

Abstract Many surveys on vehicle traffic safety have shown that the tire road friction coefficient (TRFC) is correlated with the probability of an accident. The probability of road accidents increases sharply on slippery...
