Recent Advances in Hybrid, Plug‐In, Battery, and Fuel Cell EVs: Control Schemes, Modes, Converter Topologies, and Pros and Cons

open access: yesIET Electrical Systems in Transportation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Direct current (DC)–DC converters are the backbone of electric vehicle (EV) power trains, enabling efficient and bidirectional energy flow between the battery, high‐voltage (HV) DC link, and auxiliary rails under tight isolation, gain, ripple, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) constraints.

Mechanisms of Driver Decision‐Making in Informal Mixed Urban Traffic: A Naturalistic Study in Kinshasa (DRC)

open access: yesIET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study models driver decision‐making to adapt microsimulation to Kinshasa's informal traffic. It identifies specific behaviours significantly correlated with the local context. These findings provide probabilistic parameters to enhance traffic model realism in Sub‐Saharan Africa.

Automated path‐planning strategy for robotic inspection of underground utilities based on building information model

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 29, Page 5554-5575, 9 December 2025.
Abstract This paper proposes a fully automated end‐to‐end inspection‐path‐planning strategy for underground utilities, such as pipelines, based on building information modeling (BIM). An automatic extraction method is developed to process utility information from BIM models, using a registration step that pairs each pipeline with its corresponding ...

Enhancing Circular Economic Activities of e‐Waste Pickers in South Africa: Using Korten's Four Generations Strategies as Framework

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 7603-7616, October 2025.
ABSTRACT E‐waste pickers play a valuable role in the circular economy and divert waste from landfills. Despite their contributions to the economy, informal e‐waste pickers work in very adverse conditions. With a view to improving their livelihoods and working conditions and possibly increasing their integration, Korten's four generations framework is ...

Walking and Perceptions of Danger in Various Cities

open access: yesCity &Society, Volume 37, Issue 2, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Taking inspiration from Mauss' classic idea of walking as one of many “techniques of the body,” this essay reflects on how perceptions of danger shape how one walks in various cities. I draw on my own research on the limits and possibilities of quantified walking as well as on urban experiences I have had in my life.

Hybrid‐data‐driven bridge weigh‐in‐motion technology using a two‐level sequential artificial neural network

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 20, Page 2992-3012, 18 August 2025.
Abstract For existing bridge weigh‐in‐motion technologies, the main challenge in accurate weight estimation is to overcome the difficulty of identifying the closely spaced axles. To do so, many field test data are generally required for each bridge in application. To address such a challenge, a novel two‐level sequential artificial neural network (ANN)

Zero‐shot framework for construction equipment task monitoring

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 21, Page 3218-3238, 29 August 2025.
Abstract Vision‐based monitoring of construction equipment is limited in scalability due to the high resource demands of collecting and labeling large datasets across diverse environments. This study proposes a framework that employs Zero‐Shot Learning (ZSL) and Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) to recognize construction equipment tasks from video

Sustaining Decarbonisation: Energy Storage, Green Extractivism, and the Future of Mining

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 1259-1279, July 2025.
Abstract Within the context of the so‐called green energy transition, the mining industry has successfully repositioned itself as a facilitator of, rather than an impediment to, a sustainable future. Underlying the success of this claim is a discourse of sustainability that, on the one hand, equates sustainability with decarbonisation and, on the other
