Abstract:

Transportation of liquid and gaseous fuels and chemicals, albeit not frequent, can lead to serious dangers for humans, the environment and property due to fires and explosions. The two most common transportation modes on land are tanker trucks and pipelines. The effects of fires and explosions in such transportations can be modelled successfully to describe observed damages, as discussed here for three different types of accidents, namely tanker trucks carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and a gas pipeline, resulting in ignition and explosion. The effects of

Abstract: This paper aims to understand the rapid urbanization and mobility of societies necessitate adapting passenger behavior. Overcoming the issue of the predominance of private automobile use for transportation presents the largest challenge for urbanized areas. Systems for renting out bicycles are thought to be an effective means of promoting alternate modes of transportation. Currently automobiles have been shown to be the primary global source of atmospheric pollution. This suggests that in order to encourage the use of non-motorized vehicles, communities should implement active transp

The innovative transportation system is a pertinent need for the mining industry. Truck haulage is currently the most common mode of mineral transportation between the excavation sites and end use plants. However, besides being resource-intensive and inefficient, this mode of transportation accounts for a high number of accidents and injuries. In order to reduce the occurrence of accidents, it is important to first understand the primary contributors to truck-related occupational risks and then develop strategies to eliminate such risks.

Abstract:

Studies investigating crash rates by roadway classification are few and far between and even more rare if extended to focus on heavy vehicles. This study explored and compared two advanced econometric methods—random-parameter Tobit regression and latent class Tobit regression—to determine contributing factors for heavy-vehicle crashes per million vehicle miles traveled while accounting for the unobserved heterogeneity present in crash data. The increasing crash rates in Idaho, crash proportion by roadway classification, and available data made an ideal case study. Empirical results show that a

Abstract: This paper presents the design of guide way for BRTS. There is some debate about the best type of guide way for BRTS. Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) is a high user capacity transport system which delivers very fast, reliable, comfort and cost effective mode of movement for the customers. Since BRTS run in their exclusive lanes, there are very less chances of congestion and accidents. Even due to application of green technologies, air and noise pollution are very less. BRTS has proper provisions for right of ways, easy boarding and alighting facilities for passengers. Moreover with t

This is primarily due to their operation in a wide range of rotational frequencies, variable load modes, frequent stops and starts, and challenging road conditions. These factors result in significant vibrations of traction asynchronous EDs, leading to reduced reliability and service life.

Many countries consider hydrogen as a promising energy source to resolve the energy challenges over the global climate change. However, the potential of hydrogen explosions remains a technical issue to embrace hydrogen as an alternate solution since the Hindenburg disaster occurred in 1937. To ascertain safe hydrogen energy systems including production, storage, and transportation, securing the knowledge concerning hydrogen flammability is essential. In this paper, we addressed a comprehensive review of the studies related to predicting hydrogen flammability by dividing them into three types:

Abstract:

Deterioration of steel beam ends due to deicing media is a common problem in colder climates. A primary effect of this deterioration is a reduction in the buckling capacity of the steel beam due to thinning or loss of the web section above the bearing plate. Consequently, this can result in the need to post a reduced allowable load for a bridge possibly resulting in economic losses for nearby industries. It is the authors experience that when faced with this problem, a department of transportation structural analyst may make overly conservative assumptions. These assumptions may result in the

The population is increasing rapidly, due to which the number of vehicles has increased, but the transportation system has not yet developed as development occurred in technologies. Currently, the lowest capacity and old infrastructure of roads do not support the amount of vehicles flow which cause traffic congestion. The purpose of this survey is to present the literature and propose such a realistic traffic efficiency model to collect vehicular traffic data without roadside sensor deployment and manage traffic dynamically.

The FLAIT-train operates on regular roads and aims to provide DOOR-2-DOOR transport, addressing the issues associated with fixed stops and offering increased accessibility and convenience.

Despite their widespread usage, considerable potential of the operational optimization is evident. The current systems are controlled under predefined weather conditions such as start of operation at 5 °C air temperature, even when snowfall is absent. Consequently, loss of energy input to
