Unmanned aerial rotorcraft vehicles have many military, commercial and civil applications. There is a necessity to advance the performance on several ranges of rotorcraft for using these vehicles successfully in the expa...

Commercial unmanned aircraft systems continue to increase in applications and diversity; however, mishaps and accidents erode safety, investment return, and efficiency. Most unmanned aircraft accidents are preceded by le...

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) truss arch bridges are widely used in long-span bridge construction due to their high strength, good stiffness, and excellent durability. However, arch rib joints, as critical load-be...

The proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), and in particular small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS), has significant operational implications for the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system of the future. Integrating un...

Airport planning depends to a large extent on the levels of activity that are anticipated. To plan the facilities and infrastructures of an airport system and to be able to satisfy future needs, it is essential to predic...

This research seeks to extend the body of knowledge on factors influential in the decision to fly on an autonomous airliner as a passenger. Only a handful of studies have probed this direct question in the last 16 years,...

The safety, security, efficiency, regularity, and sustainable development of international civil aviation operations revolve around a web of well-defined legal, policy, regulatory and methodological frameworks, which pre...

In recent years, the resilience of road traffic during abnormal events has drawn considerable attention. Intelligent navigation systems, which proactively guide drivers along optimal routes in such situations, are viewed...

In practice, speed limits on road networks are often determined pragmatically, which can give suboptimal solutions for traffic performance and unfair results for the underlying user classes. This study presents an elegan...

Vehicle Re-identification (Re-ID) has become extremely important due to the increasing number of vehicles on the road and its potential to address traffic-related challenges. As a result, there is also a growing need for...

Relevance of decision making in traffic engineering is more important than ever. Costs associated with air pollution,traffic accidents, congestion, and human stress, because of a poor designed traffic system are very hig...

Multi-domain traffic engineering is a very challenging problem area and crankback signaling offers a very promising solutions framework herein. Although some initial crankback studies have been done, there is still signi...

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) orchestration faces critical challenges in managing the Service Quality Index (SQI), Fleet Utilization Ratio (FUR), and Dynamic Pricing Index (DPI) under uncertain and time-varying urban dema...

In wireless networks, handover performance is essential for enabling real-time traffic applications. Long handover delays make it impossible for a Mobile Node (MN) to send and receive data packets, which is very undesira...

Sustainable infrastructure has emerged as a central pillar in addressing the complex challenges associated with rapid urbanization, population growth, and climate variability. Modern civil engineering practice increasing...

Attacks on network components and devices pose a significant threat to service continuity, necessitating robust detection mechanisms. This paper presents a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack detection framework ...

Abstract This paper originates from a practical experiment based on Mesh Networks. The promising results obtained from this experiment prompted us to discuss in greater depth whether Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) a...

Car-following models (CFMs) are fundamental to traffic flow analysis and autonomous driving. Although calibrated physics-based and trained data-driven CFMs can replicate human driving behavior, their reliance on specific...

Bologna is the first major Italian city to become a ‘30 km/h City’, following the example of many other European cities. Since its launch in 2022, the ‘Bologna Città 30’ Plan has marked the beginning of a techni...

In recent years, Baghdad City has experienced a remarkable increase in the number of motorcyclists. Considerable numbers of motorcyclists are driving against the direction of traffic flow. This has had a negative impact ...

Abstract This study aims to develop a performance grade (PG) zoning map for asphalt pavements along the Kabul–Salang Highway in Afghanistan, considering local climatic conditions and traffic factors, to support optimiz...

Abstract The electrification of vehicle helps to improve its operation efficiency and safety. Due to fast development of network, sensors, as well as computing technology, it becomes realizable to have vehicles driving a...

A series of undrained cyclic tests with variable confining pressures are conducted on Ningbo saturated soft clay by using the GDS cyclic triaxial system. In this study, the coupling effects of cyclic deviatoric stress an...

Cross-city transfer learning (CCTL) has emerged as a crucial approach for managing the growing complexity of urban data and addressing the challenges posed by rapid urbanization. This paper provides a comprehensive revie...
