ABSTRACT This paper presents advanced methodologies for real‐time terrain analysis and mapping in autonomous robotic systems. The focus is on appearance‐based terrain traversability analysis and geometric‐based terrain traceability analysis. In the appearance‐based approach, an enhanced segmentation model using pixel‐based augmentation and 13 unique ...

Abstract Sea level rise presents a range of hazards, including rising groundwater tables, salinization, and subsurface flooding, which threaten subsurface infrastructure in coastal communities. Groundwater shoaling inundates basements, tunnels, and utility networks, and mobilizes contaminants, while salinization accelerates corrosion and deteriorates ...

Recycling of Asphalt Pavements with Asphalt Rubber
Pavement recycling has been an important rehabilitation technique to deal with reclaimed materials from old pavements which are usually sent to landfills. The application of this technique contributes to: i) the accomplishment of the requirements defined by the European legislation for the amount of material sent to landfills; ii) the reduction in the ...

Feral Territories: The Suburbanization of Nature in Eastern Bangkok
ABSTRACT Between the 1960s and 1980s, American and international financial and technical assistance spurred men with means to bring together concrete, asphalt, timber, and steel to construct unplanned, poorly serviced (because they were unplanned), and expensive subdivisions at the outskirts of what was then central Bangkok.

Self-healing Asphalt for Road Pavements
This paper presents a unique self-healing system for asphalt pavement which employs compartmented calcium-alginate fibres encapsulating an asphalt binder healing agent (rejuvenator). This system presents a novel method of incorporating rejuvenators into asphalt pavement mixtures.
