Random Star Recognition Algorithm Based on Image Total Station and Its Application to Astronomical Positioning
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To aid astronomical research in the identification and positioning of random stars in unfamiliar environments, this paper proposes a random star identification algorithm that does not require approximate station position. ...
Comprehensive Assessment of Third-Party Truck Traffic Volume Data: A Kentucky Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Third-party traffic volume data offer a time- and cost-effective alternative to traditional data collection methods using permanent and short-term counters. While many studies have evaluated the accuracy of all vehicle ...
Dynamic Behavior Analysis of High-Speed Railway Ballast under Moving Vehicle Loads Using Discrete Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Considering the real irregular shapes of ballast particles and complete track skeleton, a two-dimensional discrete element model is built to investigate the dynamic behavior of high-speed railway (HSR) ballasted track. ...
Acid-Gas Storage in a Deep Saline Aquifer: Numerical Sensitivity Study to Evaluate Parameter and Model Uncertainty
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A modeling study is conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of acid gas evolution in a deep saline aquifer to expected variations of multiple geologic and engineering variables. Relative permeability hysteresis, aquifer ...
Optimal Design for the Blunt Trailing-Edge Profile of Wind Turbine Airfoils under Glaze Ice Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Glaze ice is more likely to occur on the rotating blade, and greatly decreases the energy utilization efficiency of wind turbines. Moreover, due to its complex and irregular shape, a high-quality grid and more grid cells ...
