Abstract: A linear transformation, including a similarity model and an affine model, plays an important role in reference frame transformation problems. It establishes geometric relations between different reference frames by adopting ...

Abstract: The accurate determination of deflections of the vertical is a complex scientific task that can be time-consuming and expensive. On occasion, good approximations are required for surveying and engineering applications. ...

Abstract: Traffic state prediction plays an important role in traffic management, e.g., it can provide travelers with accurate routing information to achieve a better travel experience. In this paper, we propose a spatial-temporal ...

Abstract: The least-squares (LS) method is universally embraced to obtain approximate unique solutions and their statistics from overdetermined scientific experiments where the number of observations amply exceeds the number of ...

Abstract: New insights about the concept of local accuracies are elaborated in this article. Recently found evidence supports the mathematical rigor of equations previously published in this journal as a unique alternative to ...

Abstract: Determination of local boundary shear stress is an important topic in hydraulic engineering. When attempting to determine this from a very thin boundary region, it is a difficult one because it requires special skills and ...

Abstract: The objective of this case study is to evaluate the different approximations in the technical literature that are used to compute the variance-covariance matrix of local accuracies. This analysis compares the rigor and ...

Abstract: Civil infrastructure systems, such as harbors and airports, support transportation between international communities. Inspection of facilities in a large area is labor-intensive and time-consuming work, and the result can ...

Abstract: Construction site accidents can be reduced if hazards leading to accidents are correctly and promptly detected by employees. Proactive safety measures such as safety perception and safety detection capability of employees ...
