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

Journal 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 ...

Effect of filler nature and content on the bituminous mastic behaviour under cyclic loads [PDF]

, 2017
The role of the filler in asphalt mixtures is particularly important because of its influence on mastic behaviour. The filler improves the resistance properties of bitumen against the action of traffic loads and temperature.

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

Journal 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 ...

Investigation of modified asphalt concrete [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016
Currently the problem of improving the asphalt quality is very urgent. It is used primarily as topcoats exposed to the greatest relative to the other layers of the road, dynamic load – impact and shear. The number of cars on the road, the speed of their movement, as well as the traffic intensity increase day by day.

Capturing Spatiotemporal and Subgrid Variability in Global Land Surface Albedo Parameterization

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Accurate surface albedo parameterization is critical for modeling Earth's energy balance. Yet, many schemes rely on static look‐up tables or semi‐empirical formulations that fail to capture spatiotemporal variations and complex radiative interactions. This study develops a physics‐informed machine‐learning parameterization using 19 years (2003–

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

Water 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 ...

Nest Predation in the Canarian Houbara Bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuertaventurae): An Experimental Study Using Artificial Nests

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
We investigated nest predation in the endangered Canarian houbara bustard using 229 artificial nests and camera traps. Ravens were identified as the main predators, and predation rates were influenced by raven density, vegetation cover, stone cover, and road density.
