Applied Sciences, 2022 When an unexpected obstacle occupies some of the lanes on a multi-lane highway, connected vehicles (CVs) may be able to avoid it cooperatively. For example, a CV that detects the obstacle first can immediately notify the following vehicles of the ...

Side‐by‐side long‐term performance assessment of GFRP‐ and steel‐reinforced concrete bridge decks
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The corrosion‐induced deterioration of steel‐reinforced bridge decks is a service life concern, especially in cold regions, where the use of deicing chemicals is common. To address this issue, glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has received growing attention, owing to the GFRP's resistance to conventional corrosion.

Ecology and SocietyAlthough roads are central to human society, they have many negative environmental impacts and create risk for traveling motorists. Our aim was to evaluate the spatiotemporal evolution of ungulate–vehicle collision (UVC) hotspots in response to major ...

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

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

VOID URBANISM: Unbuilt New Cities and State Formation in the Democratic Republic of Congo
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Based on an analysis of the planning process behind Kitoko City in the Democratic Republic of Congo—a new city project officially launched in 2019 but never implemented—this article examines the political, social, and spatial effects generated by urban initiatives that remain at the stage of intention. It investigates how such unbuilt projects

Relationship between Speed and Lateral Position on Curves, September 2012 [PDF]
, 2012 Excessive speed is often cited as a primary driver factor in crashes, particularly rural two-lane crashes. It has also been suggested that speed plays a significant role in crashes on curves. However, the relationship between speed and crashes on curves

Comparisons of mandatory and discretionary lane changing behavior on freeways
International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2018 This research performs comparative analyses on drivers’ behavior during mandatory and discretionary lane changes. We do this by examining the statistical properties of four lane changing decision variables that describe the gaps between the subject ...

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in
