Abstract: Calibration and validation of traffic models is a necessary step to better fit model output to real-world conditions. Presently, there has been little research in this particular area of evacuation modeling because of a ...

Abstract: In the literature, machine-learning techniques have been extensively implemented to capture the stochastic characteristics of freeway traffic speed. The deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) in recent ...

Abstract: Traffic flow prediction plays an important role in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) on freeways. However, incomplete traffic information tends to be collected by traffic detectors, which is a major constraint for ...

Abstract: The prediction of natural frequencies of porous rock samples is essential for investigating their dynamic behaviors. Utilizing a cylinder vibration model governed by the Lame–Navier equation, a novel analytical model was ...

Abstract: In this paper, the axial and the secondary flow in a helical annular pipe are examined by a perturbation method in a curvilinear coordinate system, and the second-order perturbation solution is obtained completely. The ...

Abstract: Site survey revealed that a liquefiable sand layer was often sandwiched by low-permeable layers with fine particles, which could hinder the dissipation of excess pore water pressure (EPWP) after earthquake excitation. ...

Abstract: The provision of diverse transportation modes for tourism is primarily driven by individual demand, which ultimately leads to a lack of cohesive capacity allocation among different modes of transportation. This inadequacy ...

Abstract: To minimize unit switching, this study investigates the scheduling optimization of open–close pumping stations (OCPS) by focusing on the concept of pumping station self-balancing (PSSB). Specifically, a novel regulatory ...

Abstract: Downstream water supply disruption accidents commonly occur in the large-scale cascade open-channel dispatching system, endangering dispatch safety. The emergency reaction requires active drainage water volume and cost ...
