Granite residual soil (GRS) slopes are widely distributed in the humid and rainy regions around the world. Due to their unique mineral and pore composition, these soils exhibit a loose structure and are prone to softenin...

Abstract Effective evacuation strategies are critical for preventing stampedes in large-scale, high-density crowd management. This paper develops a second-order sliding mode controller within a distributed parameter syst...

Integration of Photovoltaic (PV) generation into oil and gas power networks has transformed fault behaviour by creating highly complex sensitivity challenges for conventional Overcurrent Relay (OCR) coordination and trip...

Manual monitoring of intravenous (IV) therapy is labor-intensive and susceptible to human error, posing risks to patient safety. Existing computer vision-based approaches have addressed either drip rate estimation or flu...

Abstract Early and reliable smoke detection is critical for preventing fire-related disasters, safeguarding human lives, and ensuring infrastructure safety. Conventional sensor-based systems, however, are often constrain...

Recent advancements in helmet design demonstrate that mimicking natural models can enhance both aerodynamics and safety protection. Thus, this paper comprehensively reviews the bio-inspired helmet designs reported in the...

Italian historic centres face critical challenges balancing heritage conservation with contemporary needs, particularly in regions like Calabria where smaller settlements experience depopulation, decay, and inadequate se...

The case study of closely spaced twin tunnels excavated vertically beneath the adjacent Chaoyangmen station in Beijing, China is introduced. The existing subway station is part of the Beijing subway Line 2. The new recta...

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...

The increasing integration of inverter-interfaced renewable energy sources has significantly changed the dynamic characteristics of modern power systems, resulting in a substantial decline in effective system inertia and...

To address issues such as missed detections and false positives in safety equipment wear detection tasks caused by complex backgrounds, severe occlusions, and small target sizes, as well as frequent ID switching and low ...

Motorbikes are an object that is very prone to being stolen, anticipating theft is not enough just by installing a safety lock, but it needs to be equipped with a monitoring and control system to reduce theft of motorbik...

Motorcycle theft and robbery have drastically increased the ease of losing motorcycles in public places, especially motorcycles that do not have more safety such as keyless in general. The current motorcycle security sys...

The detection of high impedance faults (HIFs) plays a crucial role in modern active distribution systems to prevent risks like equipment failures, fire incidents, and disruptions in service, while maintaining a stable po...

Button batteries, which serve as essential power sources in consumer electronics, are susceptible to various manufacturing defects that pose potential safety risks. This study proposes LMG-YOLO, an enhanced algorithm bas...

In roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) ships, lashing devices are essential for securing vehicles. However, conventional installation processes significantly increase shipbuilding costs. To enhance production efficiency, this study...

Abstract To address the demand for flow-induced vibration monitoring of steam generator heat transfer tubes in pressurized water reactors under high-temperature (350 °C) and high-pressure (17.5 MPa) conditions, a fi...

To study the deformation, failure and long-term stability of soft surrounding rock (mudstone) tunnel anchorage under heavy loads, the Changjiang River Bridge under construction is taken as an example, in which 1∶30 red...

Forest fires have exhibited an escalating trend in both frequency and intensity globally, with major and catastrophic events causing significant damage to forest resources, human lives, and property. Timely and accurate ...

Abstract GIS (Gas-insulated switchgear) is a critical component of modern power grids, and accurate awareness of its internal insulation condition is essential to power system safety. PD (Partial Discharge) is a key indi...

Modern edge–cloud deployments integrate devices, edge servers, private networks, and cloud platforms into heterogeneous, multi-layer systems. Each layer exposes distinct metrics, measurement granularities, and tim...

The semi-underground double-storey squat silo (SDSS) is innovative storage structure. The underground section of SDSS uses shallow geologic energy for low-temperature storage, indicating its potential suitability for lon...

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...

Abstract The Amazon region has high lightning occurrence rates, with many lightning hot spots. Different rivers cross the Amazon rainforests and the people that live there use these rivers as roads to go from one place t...
