An enhanced approach for weaving area capacity estimation combining high‐fidelity simulation and interpretable machine learning

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 25, Page 4273-4295, 20 October 2025.
Abstract Accurately assessing weaving area capacity is critical for optimizing traffic management. However, transportation agencies face a persistent challenge: Existing capacity models often inadequately characterize vehicle weaving behaviors and fail to quantify the interactions between influencing factors.

Urban Transformations, Emergencies, and Disasters in Los Angeles: Constructing Civilian Unpreparedness as a Public Policy Issue (1940–1980) 洛杉矶的城市转型、紧急情况和灾害:将公民的准备不足建构为公共政策问题(1940年至1980年) Transformaciones Urbanas, Emergencias y Desastres En Los Ángeles: La Construcción De La Falta De Preparación Civil Como Un Problema De Política Pública (1940–1980)

open access: yesRisk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 16, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT This article explores the sociohistorical construction of civilian unpreparedness as a public policy issue in Los Angeles, arguing that it emerged not as a neutral response to escalating urban risks, but as a mechanism through which actors negotiated power dynamics amid urban transformations between 1940 and 1980.

Overcoming Subaltern Silences: The Forgotten Buryat Soldiers of the Korean War

open access: yesThe Russian Review, Volume 84, Issue 3, Page 422-442, July 2025.
Abstract This article reassesses Soviet warfare practices by examining the use of non‐Slavic soldiers from Siberian ethnic minorities during the Korean War (1950–53). These soldiers, including Koreans, Buryats, Sakha Yakuts, and Tuvans, were deployed by the Soviet military in an elaborate deception scheme aimed at reinforcing Chinese units fighting on ...

Validation of Truck Platoon Slipstream Effects

open access: yes, 2022
AbstractDue to slipstream effects, platooning leads to a significant decrease of the fuel consumption of the heavy-duty vehicles (HDV). Measurements with a platoon consisting of three vehicles were performed at the Zalazone proving ground. The goal of these measurements was to get the static pressure at the front and the rear of the second vehicle to ...

A third‐party platoon coordination service: Pricing under government subsidies

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 13-26, January 2025.
Abstract This paper models a platooning system consisting of trucks and a third‐party service provider (TPSP), which performs platoon coordination, distributes the platooning profit in platoons, and charges trucks in exchange for the services. Government subsidies used to incentivize platooning are also considered.

Regenerative Braking Energy Recovery From a Platoon Powered by a DC Electric Road System

open access: yesIET Electrical Systems in Transportation, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Electric road systems (ERSs) are anticipated to be major energy consumers. The energy efficiency of an ERS can be significantly improved by implementing the practice of driving electric vehicles (EVs) in closely spaced platoons. This driving configuration effectively reduces the drag coefficient of all vehicles within the platoon, resulting in a ...
