Effect on young calves of a one‐hour feeding stop during a 19‐hour road journey

Veterinary Record, 1999
This study examined the effects of transporting calves less than four weeks of age on a journey at the limit of the maximum time laid down by recent EU legislation. In both summer and winter, 45 calves were transported by road for 19 hours. The journey included a one‐hour break on the lorry in which the calves were given either a glucose/electrolyte ...

A multi-stage stochastic optimization approach to the stop-skipping and bus lane reservation schemes

Transportmetrica A: Transport Science, 2020
The bus stop-skipping scheme is designed to reduce the number of stops and increase bus operating speed. But in a mixed traffic environment, buses can hardly maintain a high and stable operating speed due to frequent merging and overtaking activities. In

Stopping Position Matters: Drawing A Better Communication between Pedestrian and Driverless Automated Vehicles on Narrow Roads

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2021
Automated vehicles (AVs) are expected to be used as mobility services for improving the quality of life in aging rural areas. In this study, we investigated problematic cases of interaction between pedestrians and AVs in Japanese rural areas and observed cases that occurred on narrow roads.

Fast terrain traversability estimation with terrestrial lidar in off-road autonomous navigation

Defense + Commercial Sensing, 2021
Autonomous navigation (also known as self-driving) has rapidly advanced in the last decade for on-road vehicles. In contrast, off-road vehicles still lag in autonomous navigation capability.

Traffic Control via Connected and Automated Vehicles: An Open-Road Field Experiment with 100 CAVs

arXiv.org
The CIRCLES project aims to reduce instabilities in traffic flow, which are naturally occurring phenomena due to human driving behavior. These"phantom jams"or"stop-and-go waves,"are a significant source of wasted energy.

A Rest Stop on the Unending Road to Provable Security

2020
During the past decade security research has offered persuasive arguments that the road to provable security is unending, and further that there’s no rest stop on this road; e.g., there is no security property one can prove without making assumptions about other, often unproven, system properties.
