Abstract: In the application of battery electric buses, cruising range anxiety, high charging cost, and unreasonable allocation of charging resources are essential factors hindering their promotion. This study aims to identify an ...

Abstract: This paper presents a stochastic dynamic programming (DP) procedure for multiobjective optimization of bridge network maintenance planning that involves a group of existing highway bridges with various remaining service ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive mathematical model for evaluating the overall performance of a bridge network based on probability analyses of network connectivity, user satisfaction, and structural reliability of the ...

Abstract: A novel reliability-based approach to evaluating the overall performance of a bridge network and to assessing the reliability importance of individual bridges to the bridge network is presented. The new concepts of the ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of highway bridges subjected to moving truckloads has been observed to be dependent on (1) dynamic characteristics of the bridge; (2) truck configuration, speed, and lane position on the bridge; and ...

Abstract: A novel approach to evaluating safety of existing bridges based on monitored structural responses and component conditions is presented in this paper. A limit state equation is developed for the measured strain data from ...

Abstract: Based on the long-term monitored strain data induced by heavy vehicle traffic on an existing bridge, this paper presents an efficient approach to assessing the bridge system performance through a series-parallel system ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new method to solve Lambert’s problem with multiple constraints, including the impulse-magnitude constraints, the trajectory-radius constraints, and the terminal-impact-angle constraint. First, the ...

Abstract: As electronic packaging technology moving to the CSP, wafer level packaging, fine pitch BGA (ball grid array) and high density interconnections, the wireability of the PCB/substrate and soldering ...

Abstract: This study investigated the cooperative and competitive lane-changing (LC) behavior characteristics with limited traffic resources. The behaviors were described based on previous research. Data were obtained using video ...
