Abstract: AbstractTo address the challenges of last-mile connectivity between residential communities and metro stations, this study investigates the multiobjective routing and scheduling problem of metro-feeder customized autonomous ...

Abstract: AbstractThe skip-stop strategy is an effective method to reduce bus operation costs and minimize passenger ride time, while the introduction of autonomous modular buses (AMBs) can alleviate the negative impact of significantly ...

Abstract: AbstractLand surface temperature Ts provides essential supplementary information to surface air temperature, the most widely used metric in global warming studies. A lack of reliable observational Ts data makes assessing ...

Abstract: AbstractWildfires can cause disastrous impacts on natural and human systems. Hydroclimatic extremes, such as droughts and high temperature anomalies, can affect the occurrence, intensity, and spread of wildfires. Moreover, ...

Abstract: Assuming that an ideal liquid has irrotational, incompressible, and inviscid flows, a mathematical model is presented to efficiently and simply study liquid sloshing problems under longitudinal excitation in horizontal ...

Abstract: n this study, a quasi-three-dimensional, variably saturated groundwater flow model was developed by approximately dividing the three-dimensional soil water and groundwater flow into an unsaturated vertical soil water flow ...

Abstract: Knowing the set of allowable motions of a convex body moving inside a slightly larger one is useful in applications such as automated assembly mechanisms, robot motion planning, etc. The theory behind this is called the ...

Abstract: urface incident solar radiation G determines our climate and environment, and has been widely observed with a single pyranometer since the late 1950s. Such observations have suggested a widespread decrease between the 1950s ...

Abstract: Carbon nanotubes have a significant impact on hydrate formation. However, the effect and mechanism of carbon micrometer tubes, which have a similar structure to carbon nanotubes, on the promotion of hydrate growth is not ...
