Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Looking for Trouble: Pre‐Intervention Monitoring in Human and AI Driver Training

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
We compare two types of situations involving monitoring of car driving: a driving instructor overseeing a trainee driver and a safety driver overseeing the performance of autonomous vehicle (AV) software. Our focus is on instances of monitoring that precede (1) interventions that are aborted before impacting the driving and (2) actual interventions on ...

Intimate Spaces on the Open Road: Navigating Access, Trust, and Ethical Boundaries during Field Research with Long Haul Truck Drivers

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Despite its ubiquity, the trucking industry is not well‐understood in social scientific literature. Gathering insight into truckers' worlds is difficult due to the solitary, isolating, and unpredictable nature of the work. An understanding of truckers' work lives and work ideologies is even further limited.

Are There Good Air Traffic Management Safety Indicators For Very Safe Systems? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
European Air Traffic Management is extremely safe. The drawback to this safety record is that it is very difficult to estimate what the ‘underlying’ accident rate for mid-air collisions is now, or to detect any changes over time.
