Critical radius prediction for small radius curved section of two-lane secondary highways based on speed characteristics

open access: yesHeliyon
Small radius curved sections of two-lane secondary highways have low technical indicators, complex alignments, and frequent accidents. In order to improve the safety of traffic operation, the article investigates the curved sections of two-lane secondary

The Outsiders: Principled Withdrawal, Whiteness, and Power in the Los Angeles Food Justice Movement

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 445-455, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article draws on understandings of whiteness and the misconstrual of South Central Los Angeles to analyze the power dynamics between “outsider” activists and residents of South Central as they worked toward a more equitable food system.

Smart selective navigator (SSN): enhancing urban winter road maintenance through optimized arc routing with hard turn restrictions

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3580-3597, September 2026.
Abstract This paper introduces a novel heuristic method, the smart selective navigator (SSN), for addressing arc routing problems (ARPs) with a focus on integrating hard turn restrictions in urban winter operations. Addressing a significant gap in existing ARP methodologies, SSN seamlessly incorporates common side constraints, such as vehicle ...

Enhanced Monocular Depth Estimation Using ResNet Backbone and Multiscale Feature Decoding for Precise Object Distance Measurement

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
A lightweight monocular perception framework generates high‐fidelity depth maps and integrates YOLOv8 detection to estimate object‐wise distances from a single RGB image. Evaluated on KITTI and the proposed D‐Far250 dataset, the system demonstrates accurate long‐range perception up to 250 m while maintaining real‐time performance, enabling scalable ...

Evolution and Influence Analysis of Skid Resistance Performance in Steel Slag Ultra‐Thin Wearing Course Based on XGBoost‐SHAP Framework

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
An XGBoost‐SHAP framework accurately predicted skid resistance evolution in steel slag ultra‐thin wearing courses under accelerated loading. Surface texture amplitude (Rz, Rq) and loading cycles dominated BPN variation, while 50% steel slag replacement provided a cost‐effective balance between anti‐skid durability and material use.

Understanding Sex‐Specific Behavioral States of Bobcats in Response to Highway Proximity in South Texas

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Roads are a major source of landscape fragmentation that can influence movement patterns, survival, and behavioral states of carnivore species. Understanding their behavior and response to roads is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies such as wildlife crossing structures, exclusion fencing, and habitat connectivity planning ...

Modelling Free Flow Speed on Two-Lane Rural Highways in Bosnia and Herzegovina

open access: yesPromet (Zagreb), 2014
Free flow speed is used as a parameter in transportation planning and capacity analysis models, as well as speed-flow diagrams. Many of these models suggest estimating free flow speed according to measurements from similar highways, which is not a ...
