Simulation-Based Assessment of Vehicle Safety Behavior under Hazardous Driving Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Future sustained economic growth of the nation very much depends on the reliability and efficiency of its highway infrastructure system. Some vehicles, such as trucks, emergency vehicles, and sport utility vehicles, often ...
Parametric Analysis of the Drainage Performance of Porous Asphalt Pavement Based on a 3D FEM Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Porous asphalt pavement can reduce noise and improve road safety and driving comfort on rainy days. The seepage model derived from the one-way gradient flow theory cannot truly reflect the seepage process of rainwater ...
Possible Role of the Regional NDVI in the Expansion of the Chiefdom of Lijiang during the Ming Dynasty as Reflected by Historical Documents and Tree Rings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although many studies have linked complex social processes with climate change, few have examined the connections between changes in environmental factors, resources, or energy and the evolution of civilizations on the ...
Turning Motion Planning for Connected and Automated Vehicles at Unsignalized Intersections Considering Multiple Left-Turn Exit Lanes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Left-turn maneuvers pose significant challenges for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) regarding both safety and traffic efficiency, particularly at mixed traffic unsignalized intersections. This paper addresses these ...
Lateral Control Strategy of Autonomous Trucks Allowing for the Durability of Bridge Deck Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The durability of bridge deck pavement significantly influences the economic gains from bridge maintenance and transportation efficiency. With the increasing application of autonomous trucks (ATs) in highway bridges, there ...
Interface Cracks in a Layered Solid Subjected to Contact Stresses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A boundary element technique has been developed to analyze interface cracks in a layered solid. The loading applied on the solid may be tension, compression, shear, or an arbitrary combination ...
Prediction/Verification of Particle Motion in One Dimension with the Discrete-Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although the availability of discrete-element method (DEM) codes has improved, the need still exists to solve simple verification problems to obtain an understanding of these codes. Different DEM codes may have subtle ...
Centrifugal and Numerical Modeling of a Reinforced Lime-Stabilized Soil Embankment on Soft Clay with Wick Drains
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A centrifuge test was performed on a reinforced embankment backfilled with lime-stabilized soil on soft clay installed with wick drains. The finite-element program PLAXIS was employed to simulate the centrifuge test on the ...
Correlated Random-Effects Bivariate Poisson Lognormal Model to Study Single-Vehicle and Multivehicle Crashes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Investigation of Soil Arching under Cyclic Loading Using the Discrete Element Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the soil arching effect associated with piled embankments under cyclic loading by developing a series of two-dimensional trapdoor discrete numerical models. After identification of the ...
