Real‐Time Terrain Traversability Analysis and Mapping for Autonomous Robotics in Dynamic Environments: Fusing Appearance‐ and Geometry‐Based Approaches

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1719-1738, May 2026.
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 ...

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 2254-2341, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Comparative analysis of empirical decomposition algorithms in predicting tire-pavement friction from asphalt surface textures: a Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) analysis

open access: yesDiscover Civil Engineering
The frictional properties of pavement are contingent on its surface texture, which consists of multiple scales that each contribute differently to friction generation at the tire-surface interface.

From Hydraulic Heads to Dollars and Decision: It's Time to Integrate Groundwater in Coastal Risk Assessment

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
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

open access: yes, 2008
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

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
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.

EVALUATION PAVEMENT DISTRESSES USING PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Pavement deterioration is resulted by both environmental and structural causes. It is difficult to maintain the road on the same specification that was owned at the opening and problems start to appear represented in the pavement cracks, holes and ...

Self-healing Asphalt for Road Pavements

open access: yes, 2020
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.
