A study to investigate the energy recovery potential from different macromolecules of a low-lipid marine Tetraselmis sp. biomass through HTL process
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study investigated the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of extracted major macromolecules from Tetraselmis sp. biomass. The carbohydrate fraction was first recovered from Tetraselmis biomass using pressurized heated ...
A New Benchmark Problem for Structural Damage Detection: Bolt Loosening Tests on a Large-Scale Laboratory Structure
(
Springer
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
Monitoring the structural performance of engineering structures has always been pertinent for maintaining structural health and assessing the life cycle of structures. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Structural ...
Application of Metastructures for Targeted Low-Frequency Vibration Suppression in Plates
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Purpose
We present an approach that combines finite element analysis and genetic algorithms to find the optimal configuration of local resonators created in the host structure to suppress their vibration in a target ...
Delay or travel time information? The impact of advanced traveler information systems on drivers’ behavior before freeway work zones
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Peak travel times contribute to congestion formation at freeway work zones. Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) can inform drivers in real-time about the delays and travel times en-route and can provide information ...
Can automated driving prevent crashes with distracted Pedestrians? An exploration of motion planning at unsignalized Mid-block crosswalks
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Pedestrian distraction may provoke severe difficulties in automated vehicle (AV) control, which may significantly affect the safety performance of AVs, especially at unsignalized mid-block crosswalks (UMCs). However, there ...
A multi-country survey for collecting and analyzing facts related to road traffic safety: Legislation, enforcement, and education for safer drivers
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Road traffic safety is a crucial global objective. It is important for every country to review and improve road safety policies and strategies, based on an objective understanding of its own road traffic safety situation ...
A reliability-based weather-responsive variable speed limit system to improve the safety of rural highways
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Weather-responsive Variable Speed Limit (WRVSL) systems treat speed limits as weather-dependent random variables, as opposed to the conventional static speed limits. This study (i) evaluates drivers’ response to a fixed ...
Defensive or competitive Autonomous Vehicles: Which one interacts safely and efficiently with pedestrians?
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The emergence of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) could provoke unexpected challenges in urban traffic environments. One such crucial challenge is the conflicts between pedestrians and AVs, particularly on unsignalized mid-block ...
An international comparative study on driving attitudes and behaviors based on questionnaire surveys
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are influenced by a driver's awareness and attitude toward road safety, as well as the socio-economic status, infrastructure development level, traffic status, social system, and traffic safety ...
Investigating the attitudes of Egyptian drivers toward traffic safety
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
One of the main pillars for improving road safety in any country is a good understanding of traffic safety culture and the driving behavior of local drivers. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether Egyptian ...
