Exploring home-to-school trip mode choices in Kandy, Sri Lanka
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Schools are major trip generators in urban areas and school trips may largely contribute to the congestion, particularly during morning peak hours. This study investigates the home-to-school trip mode choices in Kandy city, ...
A systematic review on sustainability assessment of electric vehicles: Knowledge gaps and future perspectives
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Electric mobility is emerging all around the world to minimize environmental impacts, reduce dependency on petroleum, and diversify energy sources for transportation. Any emerging technology comes with uncertainties in ...
Planning and Optimizing Electric-Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Through System Dynamics
(
IEEE
, 2022 , Article)
One of the key solutions to address the issue of energy efficiency and sustainable mobility is to integrate plug-in electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and photovoltaic (PV) systems. The research proposes a comprehensive ...
Pedestrians’ Microscopic Walking Dynamics in Single-File Movement: The Influence of Gender
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Demographics of individuals could largely influence their behaviors and interactions with surrounding pedestrians. This study investigates the influence of pedestrians’ gender on microscopic walking dynamics of single-file ...
Road Crossing at Unmarked Mid-Block Locations: Exploring Pedestrians’ Perception and Behavior
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Violations, risky behaviors and perceptions may largely contribute to crashes involving pedestrians, particularly at unmarked mid-block locations. The likelihood and severity of crashes at mid-block locations are higher ...
Does Pedestrian Penalty Affect Pedestrian Behavior? A Case of State of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Crashes involving pedestrians are a major concern for authorities in many developed and developing countries. To refrain pedestrians from illegal or unsafe road behavior, authorities introduced three pedestrian penalties ...
Nature-inspired cellular structure design for electric vehicle battery compartment: Application to crashworthiness
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This paper discusses the potential of using lightweight nature-inspired cellular structured designs as energy absorbers in crashworthiness applications for electric vehicles (EV). As EVs are becoming popular with their ...
Study of mild steel sandwich structure energy absorption performance subjected to localized impulsive loading
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Extensive research focus had been given to sacrificial sandwich panels to mitigate the effects of blast loads. This is due to their ability to distribute the load and absorb a significant portion of the blast energy. This ...
