A Case Study to Monitor Parallel‐Connected Ni–Cd Batteries on EMU Trains Through Compositional Data Control Charts

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electric multiple unit (EMU) trains, widely used in modern railway transportation, use Nickel–Cadmium (Ni–Cd) batteries to power auxiliary systems on board, including lighting, ventilation, control electronics, and emergency systems. These batteries are often connected in parallel to ensure a wider power supply range for electrical loads that ...

Integrating Image Segmentation and Deep Learning to Improve Radio Frequency Propagation Models

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a multi‐sensor approach to improve radio frequency (RF) propagation models, which play a key role in the rapidly expanding field of connected vehicle technology. Focusing on the 1‐ to 20‐GHz frequency range, which is critical for both satellite‐to‐vehicle and base station‐to‐vehicle communications, our study introduces a ...

Leveraging the Potential of Public Food Procurement to Achieve Multiple Food System Outcomes: Insights From a Policy Analysis in Australia

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Government food procurement investment offers significant potential to advance health and sustainability goals; yet, integrating these dimensions into policy design has proved challenging. We mapped and analysed 38 food procurement and catering‐specific policies in Australia to identify ways to strengthen policy design: 20 governing ...

High‐Speed Rail and Spatial Equity: Unpacking the Sustainability Paradox of Land Use and Fiscal Pressure in County‐Level Cities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infrastructure‐led development in rapidly urbanizing economies often generates accessibility gains that fail to translate into balanced urban outcomes, particularly when local fiscal institutions redirect those gains toward revenue‐generating land uses. Filling this gap, especially in fiscally constrained county‐level cities where land finance

Switch Rail Reduction Value Deviation’s Impact on Wheel–Rail Dynamic Interaction and Its Efficient Identification Method: A Numerical and Experimental Study

Applied Sciences
Railway turnout is a critical railway infrastructure that guides trains in switching tracks. Over time, uneven rail wear can lead to switch rail reduction value (SRRV) deviation, a typical structural defect that compromises turnout functionality and ...

Optimizing Eco‐Industrial Park Site Selection for Circular Supply Chains: A Novel Hybrid Decision‐Making Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐Industrial Parks (EIPs) are critical infrastructure for transitioning to sustainable production and consumption patterns, enabling resource efficiency through industrial symbiosis. However, the success of these circular ecosystems depends heavily on strategic location planning that balances conflicting economic, environmental, and social ...

City Diplomacy as a Green Strategy? International Sister City Partnerships and Urban Decarbonization

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The establishment of international sister city partnerships (ISCPs) has expanded since the postwar era, developing from cultural exchanges into strategic diplomatic channels for sustainable development. While their socioeconomic benefits are well‐documented, their potential as instruments for global environmental governance and urban ...
