Recent studies and industry developments indicate that modular autonomous vehicles (MAVs) have the potential to enhance transportation systems by offering vehicles with adjustable capacities en route. However, the practi...

Live transport of crustacean species is a relatively recent practice that increases the fisheries trade's chain of profits, without increasing the fishing effort. However, there are few biological and technological studi...

Abstract Background This study sets out the psychometric properties of the TRANS-18 scale and of a shorter version, the TRANS-12, both designed to detect safe behaviors (personal and vehicle-related) and psychophysiolog...

This study performed a comparative analysis of SMS in both the aviation and ground transportation industries to identify any gaps that may impact aviation safety by incorporating UAS operations within the ground transpor...

In the commercial air transport industry, numerous accidents have occurred because stakeholders have failed to learn lessons from the past. The reactive hazard identification (HI) methodology in the current regulatory sa...

The risk of fatigue on pilot performance and safety is well recognized in aviation. In response to increased safety concerns, the Federal Aviation Administration addressed fatigue risk for passenger airline pilots in Tit...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk posed by the failure of visual awareness during visual approaches for transport category aircraft. Visual awareness is critical while conducting visual approaches and it...

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice poses a serious threat to food safety. While soil amendments with manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) can reduce Cd accumulation in rice, their distinct modes of action remain unclear, hinderin...

The global shift towards sustainable transportation has significantly increased the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and their supporting charging infrastructure. While these technologies reduce greenhouse gas emissio...

This study develops a sustainable vehicle routing framework that addresses gender imbalance in freight transport, where women remain significantly underrepresented in driving roles. The framework integrates gender-differ...

Fluorinated ether-based electrolytes represent a promising avenue for improving lithium-ion battery performance and safety, yet the molecular mechanisms governing ion transport in these systems remain insufficiently unde...

The Department of Transportation Office of the Inspector General (2020) investigated the Federal Aviation Administration oversight of Southwest Airlines Safety Management System and noted concerns and gaps in the oversig...

Amid escalating global climate concerns, the reliance of the transportation sector on high-carbon fossil fuels urgently demands sustainable alternatives. Hydrogen has emerged as a potent solution because of its zero-emis...

Biologic therapeutics have transformed the treatment of chronic and life-threatening diseases, yet their clinical use depends almost entirely on parenteral administration. Oral delivery is the preferred route for patient...

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are a promising emerging technology that is likely to be widely deployed in the near future. People's perception on AV safety is critical to the pace and success of deploying the AV technology. ...

Abstract Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) work in urban environments where the topology changes due to high mobility, limited communication and dense traffic conditions. These factors lead to increase in end-to-end del...

The mechanistic understanding of toxic metals reactive transport in complex porous media is essential for pollution prediction and remediation in soil-groundwater systems. This study aims to experimentally and numericall...

Road traffic crashes are among the leading causes of death and injury worldwide. While urban planning and design are known to influence road safety, it is not clear how features of the built environment contribute to tra...

Culverts play a critical role in stormwater conveyance, roadway safety, and flood mitigation, particularly within low-lying urban communities vulnerable to extreme rainfall events. In Louisiana, increased rainfall intens...

The decelerate-accelerate-takeoff maneuver in transport category airplanes has been discussed. Mathematical model based on total energy conservation has been used to calculate the rejected landing point-of-no-return on a...

While Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) are essential to the global economy, their massive size creates dangerous visibility gaps, or "blind spots," that place both drivers and other road users at risk. Traditional mirrors oft...

This concept paper evaluates the pros and cons of establishing commercial aviation safety privilege beyond the almost uniquely United States Department of Defense (DoD) legal protection built upon court precedence (stare...

Fatigue remains a significant hazard in commercial aviation and has been a major concern among all stakeholders for decades. This review of the literature explores the current prescriptive structure of the regulatory env...

Developing effective drugs for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is critically limited by insufficient brain exposure. To address this, structural optimization was employed to balance physicochemical properties and enhance bloo...
